ME 306 Heat Transfer
Dr. Y. Mukkamala
P1. Saturated water at 100C is
boiled with a copper heating element
having a heating surface of area 0.04
m2 which is maintained at 115C.
Calculate the surface heat flux and
the rate of evaporation. Saturated
water properties at 100C are l =
279 x 10-6 kg/m-s, hfg = 2257 kJ/kg
C, l = 957.9 kg/m3, v = 0.5955
kg/m3, = 58.9 x 10-3 N/m, cpl =
4217 J/kg C, Prl = 1.76, Csf =
0.013, n = 1.0.
Soln.
Since T = 15C, nucleate boiling occurs.

P2. During the boiling of water at
100C with an electric heater, a heat
flux of 500 kW/m2 is achieved with a
temperature difference of 9.3C.
What is the value of the coefficient
Csf for the heater surface?
Soln. Since T = 9.3C, nucleate boiling
occurs. Using Rohsenows correlation
