Abstract:This paper presents an experimental investigation on nucleate pool boiling of saturated methanol on uncoated as well as copper-coated mild steel heating tubes of various thicknesses at atmospheric and subatmospheric pressures. It also includes the effect of heat flux, pressure and coating thickness on the boiling heat transfer coefficient of coated tube surfaces. Heat flux was progressively increased from 15,670.20 to 43,151.57 W/m 2 in six steps and pressure from 23.02 to 98.68 kN/m 2 in five steps. Boiling c… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
