TY - JOUR TI - An approach to obtain the heat transfer coefficient of aqueous sucrose solutions in agitated boiling vessels AU - Ă–zdemir Mustafa AU - Durmaz Ufuk JN - Thermal Science PY - 2015 VL - 19 IS - 3 SP - 1025 EP - 1036 PT - Article AB - In this study, the heat transfer mechanism under agitated pool boiling was examined experimentally. Aqueous sugar solutions were used in a centrically agitated vessel. The effects of the gap which is between the impeller edge and the flat bottom of the agitated vessel, the rotational impeller speed and impeller size were studied on the boiling heat transfer coefficient. A new Nusselt function depending on the Peclet number was suggested for the heat transfer mechanism.
