The high velocity flowing liquid is determined by potential flow theory. By using Colburn analogy, the present paper successfully addresses a new model to predict the vapor-liquid interfacial shear, applies the interfacial shear into the forced balance equation and then combines the forced balance equation, the energy equation and thermal energy balance equation. At last, both the film thickness and Nusselt number can be obtained. Besides, the present analysis also includes radiation effects, temperature ratio and eddy diffusivity. Finally, a comparison between the results of the present study and those reported in previous theoretical and experimental studies is provided.展开更多

The isothermal wall temperature is high enough to induce turbulent film boiling, and then a continuous vapor film runs upward over the surface. The high velocity of the flowing saturated liquid at the boundary layer is determined by potential flow theory. In addition, the present paper addresses a new model to predict the vapor-liquid interfacial shear on an elliptical tube under forced convection turbulent film boiling. In the results, film thickness and Nusselt number can be obtained under different eccentricity and Froude number. And a comparison between the results of the present study and those reported in previous experimental studies is provided. The results show that there is a good agreement between the present paper and the experimental data.展开更多
