Effects of Tube Diameter on Nucleate Pool Boiling Heat Transfer
Kang, Myeong-Gie;

Abstract
A series of data sets for the heat transfer coefficient versus wall superheat has been obtained experimentally using various combinations of tube diameters ($\small{9.7{\sim}25.5mm}$), surface roughness ($\small{15.1{\sim}60.9nm}$), and tube orientations (horizontal and vertical) to obtain effects of tube diameters on nucleate pool boiling heat transfer for the saturated water at atmospheric pressure. In addition, the results are compared with the well known Cornwell and Houston's correlation for horizontal tubes to identify the deviation of the present experimental data from the correlation and the applicability of it to vertical tubes. The experimental results show that the heat transfer coefficient decreases as the tube diameter increases for both horizontal and vertical tubes and they are in good agreement with the Cornwell and Houston's correlation within $\small{{\pm}20%}$ scatter range.
