SUMMARY
Analytical models are available for the reasonably well-
defined flow patterns of film boiling.
The critical heat flux for transition from nucleate to film
boiling can be predicted with sufficient accuracy for design
purposes, although further investigation of the processes very
close to the surface is desirable to clarify the mechanism of
transition.
No satisfactory model has yet been developed for the
complicated heat-transfer processes in nucleate boiling. The
nucleating characteristics of the surface represent a major
difficulty in either theoretical or empirical correlations.
SUMMARY
The evaluation of burnout in industrial plant involves
combination of analysis of existing data, theoretical models, and
detailed experimental investigation using electrical heating.
Progress is being made towards better understanding of the
mechanisms of burnout, and data are being accumulated from
experiments with straight tubes, bends, and coils.
The synthesis of experimental data and theoretical models may
in methods of predicting burnout, even in complex geometries,
but full-scale confirmatory testing of specific designs is must
when high accuracy of prediction is required.
