Abstract
A correlation method for saturated film boiling is proposed. The correlation is based on the analogy between film boiling and natural convection. As in the case of natural convection, the turbulent film boiling correlation takes the form of a Nusselt number versus the Rayleigh number power law, NuB ∝ RaB1/3. The proposed correlation shows very good agreement with current data for film boiling of water from vertical surfaces. The general applicability of the correlation is established by comparisons with film boiling data from R-113 and cryogenic fluids.Keywords
