Abstract
Experimental studies were conducted on heat transfer on a horizontal platinum wire during nucleate pool boiling in nonazeotropic binary mixtures of R12+R113, R134a+R113, R22+R113 and R22+R11, at pressures of 0.25 to 0.7 MPa and at heat fluxes up to critical heat flux. The substances employed were chosen such that the components of a given mixture had a large difference in saturation temperatures. The boiling features of the mixtures and the pure substances were observed by photography. The relationship between the boiling features and the reduction in heat transfer coefficient in binary mixtures is discussed in order to propose a correlation useful for predicting the experimental data measured over a wide range of low and high heat fluxes. It is shown that the correlation is applicable also to alcoholic mixtures. The physical role of k, which was introduced to evaluate the effect of heat flux on the reduction in heat transfer coefficient, is clarified based on the measured nucleate pool boiling heat transfer data and the visual observations of the boiling features.
