Summary

An electrically heated stainless steel tube was used to study the incipience of flow boiling in subcooled, well-wetting fluids (R12 and R114) over a wide range of pressure, mass flux, and heat flux. Some existing correlations were tested. Classic theory on bubble growth, heat transfer relationships, and the force balance equation at the bubble-liquid interface, coupled with an empirical correlation for the determination of the boiling incipience conditions accomplish a successful prediction of the experimental data.
