•Grashof number indicates the ratio of the buoyancy force to the viscous force.
•Higher Gr number means increased natural convection flow

Boiling
• In a steam power plant convective heat transfer is used to remove heat from a heat transfer surface.
• The liquid used for cooling is usually in a compressed state, (that is, a subcooled fluid) at pressures higher than the normal saturation pressure for the given temperature.
• Under certain conditions some type of boiling can take place.
• It is an important process in nuclear field when discussing convection heat transfer.
• More than one type of boiling can take place within a
nuclear facility.

Classification of Boiling
• Microscopic classification or Boiling Science basis:
• Nucleated Boiling
• Bulk Boiling
• Film Boiling
• Macroscopic Classification or Boiling Technology basis:
• Flow Boiling
• Pool Boiling
![Page 29: Computation of FREE CONVECTION P M V Subbarao Associate Professor Mechanical Engineering Department IIT Delhi Quantification of Free ……](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d705503460f94a5278d/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Nucleate Boiling
• The most common type of local boiling encountered in nuclear facilities is nucleate boiling.
• In nucleate boiling, steam bubbles form at the heat transfer surface and then break away and are carried into the main stream of the fluid.
• Such movement enhances heat transfer because the heat generated at the surface is carried directly into the fluid stream.
• In the main fluid stream, the bubbles collapse because the bulk temperature of the fluid is not as high as the heat transfer surface temperature where the bubbles were created.
• This heat transfer process is sometimes desirable because the energy created at the heat transfer surface is quickly and efficiently "carried" away.
![Page 30: Computation of FREE CONVECTION P M V Subbarao Associate Professor Mechanical Engineering Department IIT Delhi Quantification of Free ……](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d705503460f94a5278d/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Bulk Boiling
• As system temperature increases or system pressure drops, the bulk fluid can reach saturation conditions.
• At this point, the bubbles entering the coolant channel will not collapse.
• The bubbles will tend to join together and form bigger steam bubbles.
• This phenomenon is referred to as bulk boiling.
• Bulk boiling can provide adequate heat transfer provided that the steam bubbles are carried away from the heat transfer surface and the
surface is continually wetted with liquid water.
• When this cannot occur film boiling results.
![Page 31: Computation of FREE CONVECTION P M V Subbarao Associate Professor Mechanical Engineering Department IIT Delhi Quantification of Free ……](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d705503460f94a5278d/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Film Boiling
• When the pressure of a system drops or the flow decreases, the bubbles cannot escape as quickly from the heat transfer surface.
• Likewise, if the temperature of the heat transfer surface is increased, more bubbles are created.
• As the temperature continues to increase, more bubbles are formed than can be efficiently carried away.
• The bubbles grow and group together, covering small areas of the heat transfer surface with a film of steam.
• This is known as partial film boiling. • Since steam has a lower convective heat transfer coefficient than
water, the steam patches on the heat transfer surface act to insulate the surface making heat transfer more difficult.
• As the area of the heat transfer surface covered with steam increases, the temperature of the surface increases dramatically, while the heat flux from the surface decreases.
![Page 32: Computation of FREE CONVECTION P M V Subbarao Associate Professor Mechanical Engineering Department IIT Delhi Quantification of Free ……](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d705503460f94a5278d/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
• This unstable situation continues until the affected surface is covered by a stable blanket of steam, preventing contact between the heat transfer surface and the liquid in the center of the flow channel.
• The condition after the stable steam blanket has formed is referred to as film boiling.
• The process of going from nucleate boiling to film boiling is graphically represented in Figure.
• The figure illustrates the effect of boiling on the relationship between the heat flux and the temperature difference between the heat transfer surface and the fluid passing it.
