Abstract

Cooldown film-boiling-heat transfer data from small diameter spheres (0.0397 to 1. 27 cm) are presented, and the effects of curvature and similarities of the theoretical analyses for the flat plate, cylinder, and sphere are assessed. The data are in good agreement with theory but are significantly higher than predicted from the classic Bromley equation.
