Predict the nucleate-boiling heat transfer coefficient for water boiling at atmospheric pressure on the outside surface of a 1.5-cm-OD vertical copper tube 1.5-m-long. Assume the tube-surface temperature is constant at 10 K above the saturation temperature.
GIVEN
? Water boiling at atmospheric pressure on the outside surface of vertical copper tube
? Tube outside diameter (D) = 1.5 cm = 0.015 m
? Tube length (L) = 1.5 m
? Tube surface temperature above saturation temperature (?Tx) = 10 K
FIND
? The nucleate-boiling heat transfer coefficient (hb)
ASSUMPTIONS
? The water is at saturation temperature
