Abstract

A computer program developed to analyze nucleate boiling over a heated surface is described. The model solves the three-dimensional transient conduction equation within the heater. The conduction solution is coupled with closure relationships to mimic the bubble dynamics and the associated heat transfer coefficients. Sample problems are run using a copper surface subject to partial nucleate boiling in saturated water at atmospheric pressure. The results are shown to be in good qualitative agreement with the pertinent experimental observations.
