This experiment determined the validity of existing pool boiling curve models for spheres in nitrogen. We quenched copper, stainless steel and brass spheres of two different diameters in a pool of nitrogen. We created boiling curves comparing the temperature difference between the sphere surface and saturated nitrogen to the heat flux from the sphere. The curves were then compared to Rohsenow’s material dependent equation for nucleate boiling and other models to predict the minimum and maximum heat fluxes, independent of surface material. The relationship between heat flux and temperature change is different than the relationship found by Rohsenow, and is size and material dependent. We also found that maximum and minimum heat flux depends on material and radius. There is no correlation between thermal conductivity and heat transfer coefficient based on our findings; however, spheres with a larger diameter have larger maximum convection heat transfer coefficient.
INTRODUCTION
With knowledge of a pool boiling curve, it is possible to predict the amount of heat transfer induced by the boiling of a fluid. The level of heat transfer that can be obtained for engineering applications is highly dependent on the difference in temperature between the heating surface and the surrounding fluid. The shape of this curve is dependent on the shape of heating surface as well as the material properties of the heated surface and fluid. Both empirical constants and dimensionless numbers are used to form a boiling curve. Optimal operation conditions for an application can be predicted with the understanding of how different factors can shape the boiling curve [1].
Boiling curves are generally divided into four types of boiling: film, tra...

It was learned that changing the volume of the same substance will never change the boiling point of the substance. However having two different substances with the same volume will result in two different boiling points. The purpose of this lab was to determine if changing the volume of a substance will change the boiling point. This is useful to know in real life because if someone wanted to boil water to make pasta and did not know how much water to
The MCE is typically in the range of (1-5) k/T (in terms of the adiabatic temperature change). This modest change in temperature is obviously not sufficient for applications such as domestic refrigeration etc. [24].

Mathematical model predicts the heat and mass transfer in numerical framework for both transports phenomena of relevance to the industry continuous casting tundish system. Additionally, it has an excellent agreement outlet temperature respond the step input temperatures in the inlet stream of water in the tundish model. The simulations of 8x8 grid and 16x16 grid are applied to obtain significant difference between the TAV maps in which both grids are computed by software represent the specific flow of the fluid in the model and the steel caster as the actual size system. Therefore, the physical and mathematical modeling is used as a guidance to build a model before the prototype is constructed in terms of calculation, measurement and determination of specific fluid flow, heat and mass transfer in the water model.

As the pressure drop increases in the column, it is observed that the degree of foaming becomes more violent and more spread out. When the pressure drop is relatively high, it means that the pressure exerted by the vapour is insufficient to hold up the liquid in the tray, causing the gas bubbles to appear on top of the sieve trays. To add on, the higher the pressure drop, the higher the velocity of the vapour passing up the column. As a result, more vapour will penetrate the liquid and more bubbles formation is observed. Due to more bubbles formation, the degree of foaming are more agitated, rapid and spread out.

in chemical operations, minimization of building heat losses using improved insulation techniques, thermal control of space vehicles, heat treatment of metals, dispersion of atmospheric pollutants. A thermal system contains matter or substance and this substance may change by transformation or by exchange of mass with the surroundings. To perform a thermal analysis of a system, we need to use thermodynamics, which allows for quantitative description of the substance. This is done by defining the boundaries of the system, applying the conservation principles, and examining how the system participates in thermal energy exchange and

The science of heat transfer pursues not only to explain how heat energy may be transfer, but also to foresee the rate at which the exchange will take place under certain quantified conditions.
