Definite Regimes of Boiling | Heat Transfer | Thermal Engineering

Whether the boiling phenomenon corresponds to pool boiling or forced circulation boiling, there are three definite regimes of boiling associated with progressively increasing heat flux. These regimes have been identified in Fig. 12.8 which shows the relationship between heat flux (or film coefficient) and the temperature excess (ts – tsat); ts is the temperature of the hot surface and tsat [...]
