The empirical correlation to predict the evaporation heat transfer coefficient inside an internally grooved horizontal tube was proposed using previous experimental data studied by other researchers. Parameters in the correlation were selected by refering to the correlation for rectangular channnel. The correlation for rectangular channnel was proposed by taking weighted average of heat transfer coefficients on upper and lower grooved surfaces inside a rectangular channnel to applicate to the internally grooved tube. Effects of parameters in the correlation for grooved tube are corresponding to those in the correlation for rectangular chaannel, and increasing the modified bond number, the heat transfer coefficient decreases. For rectangular channel, the maximum heat transfer coefficient is obtained on the grooved surface with 2 × 10-3 of the modified bond number.
