Abstract

Local pool boiling on the outside and inside surfaces of a 51 mm diameter tube in horizontal direction has been studied experimentally in saturated water at atmospheric pressure. Much variation in local heat transfer coefficients was observed along the tube periphery. On the outside surface the maximum and the minimum are observed at ${\theta}=45^{\circ}$ and $180^{\circ}$, respectively. However, on the inside surface only the minimum was observed at ${\theta}=0^{\circ}$. Major mechanisms on the outside surface are liquid agitation and bubble coalescence while those on the inside surface are micro layer evaporation and liquid agitation. As the heat flux increases liquid agitation gets effective both on outside and inside surfaces. The local coefficients measured at ${\theta}=90^{\circ}$ can be recommended as the representative values of both outside and inside surfaces.
