Mostinski equation, boiling

Boiling Coefficients For the nucleate-boiling coefficient the Mostinski equation [Teplenergetika, 4, 66 (1963)] may be used ... 

The shell side heat transfer coefficient (ho) is calculated as the sum of the convective and nucleate boiling heat transfer coefficients he and hn respectively). Both hi (the inside tube coefficient) and he are given in terms of tube diameters, thermal conductivities, vapour and liquid densities and Reynolds and Prandtl numbers in the appropriate streams by standard correlations [25]. hn is given as a function of heat flux, pressure and solvent critical pressure by the Mostinski equation [26]. 

As the heat flux is known and only a rough estimate of the coefficient is required, use Mostinski s equation to estimate the nucleate boiling coefficient Section 12.11.2. 

Proposed layout gives 26 U-tubes, tube outer limit diameter 420 mm. Boiling coefficient Use Mostinski s equation heat flux, based on estimated area,...
