Abstract

Boiling has been studied extensively during the last half of the 20th century. Many correlations and semimechanistic models have also been developed for various modes of boiling. However, due to the complexity involved in modeling continuously evolving vapor–liquid interfaces, unrealistic assumptions are often made in developing various models. With the advances of recent years in the area of computational science and engineering, it is now possible to solve, completely, the conservation equations of mass, momentum, and energy for liquid and vapor phases simultaneously when an interface is continuously evolving at and near a heated surface. The solutions provide not only detailed physics of associated thermal and hydrodynamic processes, but also the shape of the evolving interface. In demonstrating the application of numerical simulations as an effective tool, both pool nucleate and film boiling at normal earth gravity, and nucleate boiling under microgravity conditions are considered. Although these simulations have been computationally intensive, in the future calculations of this type are expected to become routine.

A correlation of nucleate pool boiling heat transfer coefficients in ammonia/water mixtures was proposed on the basis of measured heat transfer data on a horizontal heated wire. The correlation was derived using both the fraction difference between vapor and liquid, y 1x 1 , and the temperature diff

## Abstract Nucleate boiling heat transfer coefficients were measured on a horizontal heated wire during the pool boiling of non‐azeotropic mixtures of ammonia/water. The experiment was carried out at pressures of 0.4 and 0.7 MPa, at heat fluxes below 2.0 Γ— 10^6^ W/m^2^, and over a range of mass fr

## Abstract The flow boiling heat transfer performance in horizontal metal‐foam tubes is numerically investigated based on the flow pattern map retrieved from experimental investigations. The flow pattern and velocity profile are generally governed by vapour quality and mass flow rate of the fluid.
