Pool Boiling Correlations

This lecture covers the fundamentals of pool boiling, including heat transfer mechanisms, boiling regimes, and critical heat flux. It explains the characteristics of nucleate pool boiling and correlations for forced convection caused by bubbles. The instructor discusses examples of pool boiling scenarios, such as estimating power requirements and evaporation rates. The lecture also delves into the critical heat flux phenomenon and its implications for heat exchanger design. Various correlations and equations are presented to calculate heat transfer coefficients and critical conditions in pool boiling.
