In the free convection regime of pool boiling, the heat flux is proportional to__________________?

Correct answer: C. Δt5/4

  • A. Δt1/2
  • B. Δt2
  • C. Δt5/4
  • D. Δt

Explanation

In the free-convection region before vigorous nucleate boiling, the pool-boiling heat flux varies approximately as the temperature excess raised to the 5/4 power. The higher powers associated with nucleate boiling do not apply in this regime.
