Abstract
The fundamentals of pool boiling and forced convection boiling heat transfer are described in this chapter. Typical correlations for the various boiling modes or flow regimes are presented. The emphasis is on simple geometries such as a single tube in a large pool and a single vertical circular tube. Mention is made of practical problems such as boiling curve hysteresis resulting from difficult nucleation, shifts in the boiling curve due to dissolved gas, and surface or fluid contamination.
