✦ Synopsis
A
new model is proposed for the prediction of vapor bubble departure diameters in saturated pool boiling. The model utilizes a force balance which follows a similar form as that used by Klausner et al. (ht. J. Heat Mass Transfir 36, 651-662 (1993)) for flow boiling. The vapor bubble growth rate is a necessary input to the model, and its reliable estimation is required to predict accurately departure diameters. The model has been tested over the following range of conditions : pressure, 0.02-2.8 bar ; Jakob number, 4-869; and gravity, la.014 g. It is demonstrated that over the wide range of boiling data considered the departure diameter predicted using the present model is significantly improved over existing correlations.
