A device for performing boiling experiments consists of a copper bar , which is exposed to a boiling liquid at one end, encapsulates an electrical heater at the other end, and is well insulated from its surroundings at all but the exposed surface. Thermocouples inserted in the bar are used to measure temperatures at distances of and from the surface. (a) An experiment is performed to determine the boiling characteristics of a special coating applied to the exposed surface. Under steady-state conditions, nucleate boiling is maintained in saturated water at atmospheric pressure, and values of and are recorded. If n=1, what value of the coefficient is associated with the Rohsenow correlation? (b) Assuming applicability of the Rohsenow correlation with the value determined from part (a), compute and plot the excess temperature as a function of the boiling heat flux for . What are the corresponding values of and for If were increaset to , could the foregoing results be extrapolated to infer the corresponding values of , and
