Rate of heat transfer by vaporisation from pools of water is affected by the ____________________?

Correct answer: D. All A., B. and C.

  • A. Nature of heating surface and distribution of bubbles
  • B. Surface tension of water
  • C. Viscosity of water
  • D. All A., B. and C.

Explanation

Pool-boiling heat transfer depends on bubble formation and departure, which are influenced by surface condition, surface tension and liquid viscosity. Thus all three listed effects can alter the vaporisation rate.
