Summary

Analytical solutions are derived for subcooled film boiling with a smooth liquid-vapour interface. Film boiling experiments around thin horizontal wires are conducted for water and R113 at atmospheric pressure. Results of the experiments indicate that saturated film-boiling heat transfer in the small-diameter region is enhanced by both rosary-vapour-film and thick-vapour-film effects. As for the effect of liquid subcooling on film-boiling heat transfer in the small-diameter region, it is found that the small-diameter region can be subdivided into normal and singular regions. In the singular region, heat-transfer coefficients decrease to a minimum with increasing liquid subcooling.
