Notes:
A hydrodynamic prediction is formulated for the peak nucleate boiling heat flux on spheres. It employs no empirical constants but it is justified by an experimental correlation of the vapor blanket thickness at the equator of the sphere. The prediction compares very favorably with 27 original data obtained by the transient calorimeter method in both water and N2 on spheres of different sizes. It also compares well with the data of prior investigators for a large range of size, gravity, and boiled liquids. Assumptions as to the vapor removeal configuration are supported with photographic observations of the boiling procss.
