Abstract
Section 11.1 presents a closed analytical solution for mixed-convection film boiling on vertical walls. Heat-transfer coefficients predicted by the proposed model and experimental data obtained at the Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden by Okkonen et al. are compared. All data predicted are inside the ±10% error band, with the mean averaged error being below 4% (using slightly modified analytical solution). The solution obtained is recommended for practical applications. The method presented here is used in Section 11.2 as a guideline for developing a model for film boiling on spheres. The new semiempirical film boiling model for spheres used in IVA computer code is compared with the experimental data base obtained by Liu and Theofanous. The data are predicted within a ±30% error band. This chapter is a slightly changed variant of the work previously published in Kolev (1997), Kolev (1998).
