RT Journal Article ID 333aeddf02be816a A1 Raja, Balakrishnan A1 Lal, Dhasan Mohan A1 Saravanan, Rajagopal T1 Boiling in a Stratified Two-Phase Flow: A Review JF Heat Transfer Research JO HTR YR 2009 FD 2009-06-09 VO 40 IS 6 SP 589 OP 612 K1 flow boiling; flow patterns; stratified flow; heat-transfer coefficient; varied heat flux; nucleate boiling; convective vaporization AB This article reviews the studies of flow boiling heat transfer of refrigerants with a stratified flow pattern in smooth horizontal tubes. The paper addresses the mechanisms of flow boiling and highlights the importance of nucleate boiling in a stratified two-phase flow. Further, the article addresses some of the familiar correlations used to predict the heat-transfer coefficient and their inconsistency for stratified flow conditions, conditions that prevail in horizontal evaporators of deep freezers and commercial refrigerators.
