Prediction of Nucleate Boiling Heat Transfer Coefficients of Binary Solutions Using a New Correlation

Boiling has long played a significant role in many technological applications due to its superior heat transfer performance. During the last 30 years many correlations have been proposed as a result of the intensive researches on the nucleate boiling mechanism. In this article, a new correlation has been developed on the basis of correlation of Stephan and Körner which is known as a successful correlation for the prediction of nucleate boiling heat transfer coefficient of mixtures. Comparison of the prediction of new correlation with experimental data indicates that this modification can improve the performance of Stephan and Körner correlation.
