Ethyl alcohol (ethanol) is to be boiled in a vertical tube of 2 cm inside diameter. The ethanol is to be boiled at a temperature of 78.50C and a pressure of 3000 kPa when the tube inside surface temperature is 200ºC. The ethanol entering the tube may be assumed to be 10% saturated vapor, heat of vaporization, hnfg of 842 J/kg, bubble diameter of 1 mm, and bubble velocity may be taken as 0.24 m/s. Estimate the nucleate pool boiling convective heat transfer coefficient.
