Abstract-In this investigation, a large number of experiments have been performed to measure the nucleate boiling heat transfer coefficients of water/diethanolamine (DEA) and water/monoethanolamine (MEA) binary solutions. Based on these experimental data, effects of physical properties such as surface tension and viscosity of mixtures on nucleate boiling heat transfer coefficients and also on bubble dynamics have been discussed. Meanwhile, some photographs have also been selected which illustrate the behaviours of bubbles near the heat transfer surface. In this article, a new correlation has been developed on the basis of the correlation of Stephan and Körner which is known as a successful correlation for the prediction of nucleate boiling heat transfer coefficients of mixtures. Comparison of the prediction of this new correlation with experimental data indicates that this modification can significantly improve the performance of the Stephan and Körner correlation.
Pool boiling heat transfer coefficient of monoethylene glycol (MEG), diethylene glycol (DEG) and water ternary mixtures has been experimentally measured up to heat flux 114 kW/m2 at various volumetric concentrations of MEG and DEG. As expected, heat transfer coefficient was strongly taken as a direct function of heat flux. Existing well-known correlations are shown to be unable to predict the acceptable values for the tested ternary mixtures, particularly at different concentrations of MEG and DEG. Furthermore, a new modified correlation is developed on the basis of the Stephan - Preußer correlation that predicts the values of heat transfer coefficients with absolute average error of about 7% that is reasonable and acceptable values in compare to other existing correlations
