How to Calculate Maximum heat flux to nucleate pool boiling?
Maximum heat flux to nucleate pool boiling calculator uses Maximum Heat Flux = (1.464*10^-9)*((Specific Heat of Liquid*Thermal Conductivity of Liquid^2*Density of Liquid^0.5*(Density of Liquid-Density of Vapour))/(Density of Vapour*Change in Enthalpy of Vaporization*Dynamic Viscosity of Fluid^0.5))^0.5*((Change in Enthalpy of Vaporization*Density of Vapour*Excess Temperature)/(Surface Tension*Temperature of Fluid))^2.3 to calculate the Maximum Heat Flux, Maximum heat flux to nucleate pool boiling also known as the critical heat flux (CHF) or the Leidenfrost point, is a crucial parameter in boiling heat transfer. It represents the peak heat flux at which the liquid can efficiently boil and maintain stable contact with the heated surface before transitioning to film boiling, where the heat transfer becomes less efficient due to the formation of a vapor film. Maximum Heat Flux is denoted by Qm symbol.
How to calculate Maximum heat flux to nucleate pool boiling using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Maximum heat flux to nucleate pool boiling, enter Specific Heat of Liquid (Cl), Thermal Conductivity of Liquid (kl), Density of Liquid (ρl), Density of Vapour (ρv), Change in Enthalpy of Vaporization (∆H), Dynamic Viscosity of Fluid (μf), Excess Temperature (ΔT), Surface Tension (Y) & Temperature of Fluid (Tf) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Maximum heat flux to nucleate pool boiling calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.002903 = (1.464*10^-9)*((3*380^2*4^0.5*(4-0.5))/(0.5*500*8^0.5))^0.5*((500*0.5*12)/(21.8*1.55))^2.3.
