TY - JOUR TI - Modeling of nucleate boiling heat transfer of a stagnation-point flow impinging on a hot surface AU - Mohaghegh Mohammad Reza AU - Rahimi Asghar B JN - Thermal Science PY - 2019 VL - 23 IS - 2 SP - 695 EP - 706 PT - Article AB - A model using modified superposition approach is developed to predict the rate of heat transfer in the stagnation region of a planar jet impingement boiling on a hot flat surface. The total heat flux in this model is based on the combination of the single phase forced convection and nucleate pool boiling components. The single-phase component is calculated by using similarity solution approach. The applicability of the model is investigated on the boiling curves under conditions of single phase, partial and fully developed nucleate boiling. The Effect of main parameters of water jet, i.e. jet sub-cooling, jet velocity and nozzle to plate distance on the heat flux, is of concerned. A comparison of the obtained results of the model is made with various published experimental data and good agreement is reported.
