The Effect of Radiation on Film Boiling Heat Transfer : Plane Wall Parallel to Upward Vertical Flow

Abstract

The effect of radiation on forced convective film boiling heat transfer from a vertical plane to a subcooled liquid is analyzed by the integral method of boundary-layer. Numerical solutions are obtained for water under the atmospheric pressure. The effect of radiation is discussed using some parameters used in the conventional analyses of film boiling and a new parameter for radiative contribution, and the method which Bromley proposed to estimate the radiation effect on total heat transfer is examined.
