Abstract
Turbulent film boiling from a vertical surface is theoretically invest igated considering the properties as functions of the temperature. The proposed analytical model is tested making use of the experimental da ta available in the literature for liquid nitrogen. It is observed tha t a satisfactory agreement is found between the theory and the experim ental data. A new correlation for the prediction of heat transfer coef ficients under film boiling conditions is presented.
