This paper deals with forced convective boiling heat transfer to diphenyl flowing upwards under atmospheric pressure through two vertical concentric annuli 1m long and of effective diameters measuring either 11.4 or 18.0mm. The inlet temperature of diphenyl was 215°-245°C, the Reynolds number 1.9×10
4-5.7×10
4, and the heat flux was less than 4.2×10
5kcal/mm
2·hr.
Measurements were made of the turbulent heat transfer in the non-boiling region, the heat flux at incipient boiling, the hysteresis of boiling heat transfer, the relationship between boiling heat transfer and the flow pattern of two-phase flow, the effects of fouling, and the burnout heat flux. Correlations of experimental data and some discussions are presented on these items.
