A method based on a logical explanation of the mechanism of heat transfer associated with the boiling process is presented for correlating heat-transfer data for nucleate boiling of liquids for the case of pool boiling. The suggested relation is clTxhfg=Csf(q/Aμlhfg(q/A)σg(ρl-ρv))0.33(clμlkl)1.7 where the various fluid properties are evaluated at the saturation temperature corresponding to the local pressure and Csf is a function of the particular heating surface-fluid combination.
