  1. Boiling Water Calculator Jacob Adams ME 340 Winter 2010

  2. The Problem: • Long complex boiling equations • Numerous cases and different variations can be confusing • Evaluation takes a lot of time

  3. The Solution: A Calculator! • Makes calculations quick and easy • Helps eliminate calculation errors • Covers many different cases with minimal changes

  4. The Calculator • Calculates: • Excess Temperature • Type of Boiling • Nucleate Heat Flux • Critical Heat Flux • Minimum Heat Flux • Calculates values using: • Rohsenow Correlation • Kutateladze-Zuber Correlation

  5. Demonstration

  6. Limitations • In order to keep user required variables at a reasonable level, film boiling heat flux cannot be determined by the calculator. • Values for critical and minimum heat fluxes can be inaccurate if excess temperature is not close to key values of 30 and 120 C. • Limited to boiling of water - calculator could be expanded to include other fluids and material interfaces.

  7. Acknowledgements • Prof. Soloviev and his boiling equation sheet • Incropera and DeWitt’s Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer
