Hundreds of correlations were proposed for the calculation of heat transfer during the boiling of saturated saturated /sat·u·rat·ed/ (sach´ah-rat?ed)

2. unable to hold in solution any more of a given substance.
 liquids inside tubes and annuli. Most of them were compared to only a limited amount of data. However, some of them were shown to agree with a wide range of data with many fluids and are therefore considered general correlations. It is desirable to know their comparative accuracy and limitations so that the most reliable correlations may be used for practical calculations. This paper reports the results of such a study in which six of the best known general correlations were compared to a very wide range of data for 30 fluids. Included are tables giving the range of dimensional and nondimensional parameters covered by each experimental study.

AVAILABLE CORRELATIONS

A very large number of correlations were published. Most of them had very little verification. Only the ones that had extensive verification with a wide range of fluids and found wide acceptance are mentioned here.

The first general correlation was published by Chen (1966). It was based entirely on data for vertical channels. The correlation is

[h.sub.TP] = [F.sub.chen][h.sub.LO] + S[h.sub.pb]. (1)

 by Chen. However, many later researchers compared it to large databases and reported that its agreement was satisfactory with neither horizontal nor vertical channels. Examples of such studies are Kandlikar (1990), Gungor and Winterton (1986, 1987), Liu and Winterton (1991), and Steiner and Taborek (1992). Hundreds of correlations in the form of Equation 1 were proposed, most based only on one data set.

The present author (Shah 1976, 1982) presented a correlation with the functional form

[h.sub.TP]/[h.sub.LO] = f(Co, Bo, [Fr.sub.L]). (2)

; it is not used for vertical channels. This was the first correlation applicable to both horizontal and vertical tubes. It was tested with large databases with mostly satisfactory results by many researchers, such as Kandlikar (1990), Gungor and Winterton (1986, 1987), and Liu and Winterton (1991).

Kandlikar (1990) gives a correlation applicable to both horizontal and vertical channels. It uses the same correlating parameters as the Shah correlation but also has a fluid specific multiplier multiplier

. Values of this multiplier were given for only ten fluids; hence, it is applicable to only those ten fluids.

Gungor and Winterton (1986) presented a correlation similar to Equation 1 but incorporated the Froude number for horizontal channels in the same way as in the Shah correlation. Liu and Winterton (1991) also presented a similar correlation and showed it to be more accurate than the Gungor and Winterton (1986) correlation.

Gungor and Winterton (1987) presented a correlation similar to the Shah correlation and showed that it agreed with a wide range of data.

Steiner and Taborek (1992) give a correlation that is based on a large and varied database for vertical channels. It has the form

[h.sub.TP] =(([F.sub.st][h.sub.LT])[.sup.3] + [h.sub.pb.sup.3])[.sup.1/3]. (3)

CORRELATIONS TESTED

The following correlations were tested:

* Chen (1966) with pool boiling component calculated by the Cooper correlation (1984)

* Steiner and Taborek (1992)

* Shah (1982)

* Kandlikar (1990)

* Liu and Winterton (1991)

* Gungor and Winterton (1987)

The reason for using the Cooper pool boiling correlation with the Chen correlation is that the Cooper correlation was verified with an extremely wide range of data, while the pool boiling correlation originally used by Chen had very little verification. It was felt that this change will improve the accuracy of the Chen correlation. Hence, the Chen correlation incorporating this change is called the Chen-Cooper correlation. Note that the Cooper correlation was used with roughness at 1 [micro]m and without the factor 1.7 for copper tubes.

The Gungor and Winterton (1986) correlation was not tested as that of Liu and Winterton (1991) was tested in the present study, and they had shown that their correlation gave better agreement with the data.

It was concluded that C[O.sub.2] is a special fluid requiring separate treatment; hence, C[O.sub.2] data were not included in Tables 1 and 2. This is further discussed later in the paper.

Most of the data analyzed are for local heat transfer coefficients. Some researchers reported only the average heat transfer coefficients and heat flux over the tube length as indicated in Tables 1 and 2. Comparison with such data was done by using the mean quality and the mean heat flux in the evaluated correlations.

The data of Ogata and Sato (1974) for helium showed strong hysterisis. The mean of the heat transfer coefficients for ascending and descending Ascending and Descending is a lithograph print by the Dutch artist M. C. Escher which was first printed in March 1960.

2. Giving equal weight to each data set.

The second way probably gives a better indication of the reliability of the correlation.

DISCUSSION OF RESULTS

Accuracy of Correlations

It is apparent from the results in Tables 1-3 that the correlations of Shah (1982) and Gungor and Winterton (1987) are the most reliable, with a main deviation of about 17.5% for all 1960 data points. The Shah correlation is more consistent, as only 5 of the 69 data sets have a mean deviation of more than 30%, while the Gungor and Winterton correlation has 9 data sets exceeding 30% deviation.

These two correlations show reasonable agreement with almost all data sets. One notable exception is the data of Mohr and Runge Runge may relate to the following: People
  • Brian Runge, U.S. baseball umpire.
  • Carl Runge, German physicist and mathematician.
  • Runge-Kutta, a method of numerical analysis.

 data for neon could be found. However, Pappel and Hendricks Hendricks is a surname, and may refer to

  • Conrad Hendricks, deceased South African soccer player
 (1978) gave a correlation of their subcooled data for nitrogen and neon for subcooling starting from 2[degrees]C. The predictions of this correlation at 1[degrees]C subcooled neon agree satisfactorily with the Shah correlation and at 2[degrees]C subcooling are lower than the Shah correlation. This suggests that the Mohr and Runge data may be unusually high.

The other notable exception is the data of Steiner and Schlunder (1977) for nitrogen; these are much higher than the Shah correlation. However, nitrogen data from four other sources (Klimenko and Sudarchikov 1983; Klimenko et al. 1987; Klein Klein , Melanie 1882-1960.

 1976; Pappel and Hendricks 1978) agree well with this correlation. The Steiner and Schlunder data are also much higher than the Gungor and Winterton and Liu and Winterton correlations. Hence, these data are apparently unique.

The Steiner and Taborek correlation did not perform well in predicting horizontal tube data. Indeed, these authors recommended it only for vertical channels. Even with vertical channels, it shows large deviations with some data sets.

The Chen and Cooper correlation works fairly well with both horizontal and vertical tubes, but its accuracy is significantly less than the Shah and the Gungor and Winterton correlations.

 factors. Even among those fluids, it performed poorly with data for R-22, nitrogen, and neon. Figures 1 and 2 show the comparison of some data for R-22 and nitrogen with the correlations of Shah and Kandlikar. The Shah correlation is seen to be in good agreement with data, while the Kandlikar correlation predicts too high. These figures are typical of the results for these fluids.

The fact that almost all data sets analyzed are in fair agreement with the Shah correlation (which does not have any factor for surface microstructure) indicates that the microstructures of most commercial tubes are normally similar. It may be noted that the most successful general correlations for pool boiling (those of Stephen and Abdelsalam [1980] and Cooper [1984]) do not have any factor for surface microstructure.

Type of Fluid

The Shah and the Gungor and Winterton correlations show good agreement with 29 of the 30 fluids included in Tables 1 and 2. The only available single data set for neon does not agree with any of the tested correlations but, as was pointed out earlier, the measurements of Pappel and Hendricks (1978) appear to be in agreement with the Shah correlation.

C[O.sub.2] data from several sources were analyzed but none of the correlations tested here were found to agree with them. Among such data are those of Bredsen et al. (1997), Yoon et al. (2004), and Knudsen and Jensen (1997). These authors also compared their data with well-known general correlations with poor results. Thome and Hejal (2004) compared C[O.sub.2] data with their correlation that was based on data for several refrigerants but found poor agreement. They concluded that carbon dioxide is a unique fluid and developed a correlation specifically for C[O.sub.2]. However, Park and Hrnjak (2005) found that it did not agree with their data.

Thus, the Shah and the Gungor and Winterton correlations appear to be suitable for all Newtonian, nonmetallic non·me·tal·lic

Annuli

The present analysis included only 94 data points from two sources. The present author (Shah 1982) compared the Shah correlation with 736 data points from five sources, covering a wide range of parameters. The mean deviation for all data was 17.1%. Hence, the Shah correlation is well verified for annuli.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION

1. Six of the best known general correlations were tested with data for 30 fluids, including water, refrigerants, organics, and cryogens boiling in horizontal and vertical tubes and annuli. The data covered a very wide range of parameters.

2. The correlations of Shah (1982) and Gungor and Winterton (1987) gave good agreement with data, with the mean deviation around 17.5%. The Shah correlation is more consistent. The range of data satisfactorily predicted is given in Table 4. The other four correlations had mean deviations from 22% to 55%.

3. The results indicate that the Shah and the Gungor and Winterton correlations can be used with confidence for all Newtonian nonmetallic fluids (except C[O.sub.2]).
