Question:

Examine the data shown in Fig. 13.9 for nucleate boiling of a normal paraffin on a single horizontal tube. 

(a) Calculate the heat transfer coefficient for several values of ΔT, and compare the effect of temperature with that shown for boiling water in 13.6. 

(b) Why are the coefficients for water so much higher? Discuss three possible reasons. 

(c) Why is the critical AT apparently so much higher for the paraffin?
