Estimation of film boiling heat transfer coefficients for cylindrical heaters in corresponding states fluids

An investigation of film boiling heat transfer was made with cylindrical heaters. The (0.75 O.D.) gold plated, copper heaters were positioned horizontally in pools of liquid argon, nitrogen, and carbon monoxide. A correlation for film boiling corresponding states fluids is derived and discussed. The correlation is a least squares fit of three variables: the diameter of the cylindrical heater, the reduced pressure of the system, and the temperature difference between the heater surface and the saturated pool --Abstract, page iii
