POOL BOILING HEAT-TRANSFER TO SATURATED WATER AND REFRIGERANT-113

Pool boiling heat transfer coefficients were measured for saturated water at atmospheric pressure and for saturated refrigerant R113 at 102 kPa and 341 kPa. The measured heat transfer coefficients were compared with values found by other researchers and with the predictions of correlations from the literature. Bubble departure diameter, bubble frequency and nucleation site density were recorded for each experiment. A pool boiling model recently developed by Blochl and Bier is described and limitations of the model are discussed.
