Shah correlation:
A graphical alternative to the Chen correlation is that proposed by Shah (1976). His method is in
the form of a graphical chart and can be used for flow sub cooled boiling in both vertical and
horizontal channels. The ordinate is the ratio (hTP/hr) and the abscissa (Co) is
Gnielinski Correlation(1976):
It is valid for both the transition and fully turbulent flow regimes (Reynolds number > 4000)
were used in developing the correlation. While it is more complex to use than the Dittus-Boelter
equation it is more accurate and used here. The Gnielinski correlation is an adaption of the
Petukhov et al. turbulent flow correlation that extends its coverage to the transition flow regime.
It is given as:
RESEARCH WORK:
A comprehensive review of the published information on transition boiling under forced
convection conditions has been prepared by Groeneveld and Fung, Cheng and Newbold. Various
attempts have been made to produce correlations for the transition boiling region.
Cheng and N g (1976):
Transient and steady state test, high inertia. Copper block
Fung (1977):
Similar tests to Cheng and Ng
Newbold e t al. (1976):
Similar tests to Cheng and Ng. However, guard heaters were employed to reduce axial
conduction.
Hewitt (1977):
The paper provides the result of an experimental investigation on the occurrence of the critical
heat flux under transient conditions carried out at two phase flow model.
(Merilo, 1977)
Investigation dealing with CHF in horizontal and inclined large channels at very high flow rates
there is little difference between CHF in horizontal and vertical channels.
