The use of the equations in -Table 7< for predicting heat transfer rates in flooded'evaporators" gives approximate re sults, atr best. One of.the reasons-(fpr this,is that.vapor entering

Other data for flooded tube bundles-' arc summarised by Hofmann. Cnrves typical of the performance of verticai tube natural circulation evaporators,'based on data for water, areBhown in Fig. 8. Low coefficients are obtained at low liquid levels due to insufficient liquid coverage of the heating surface.' The decrease in coefficient at high levels is due to an adverse eflect of hydrostatic head on the temperature difference and cireu-

Boiling with Forced Convection
When boiling occurs'inside tubes, forced convection effects
may exert considerable influence on the heat transfer rate. In
general, higher coefficients are obtained, although they are
accompanied by a drop in pressure which, decreases the net
temperature `differenee'avaiiable for heat transfer. As evapo
ration takes' place along the tube, various' two-phase' flow
patterns may be encountered depending upon the fraction of
vapor praent, the flow rate, and other variables.' A compre
hensive review of heat transfer in twoiphase flow is given-by

Tte variation in local-heat transfer coefficient for forced
convection evaporation inside a horizontal tube is showir'm
Fig/ 9. In*< these -teats; based on Anderson's: data for-R^
frigerant`22,** the outlet vapor fraction was varied while the
change in vapor fraction was fired at Ax = 0.2. At low loads,
the heat transfer coefficient varies very little with exit vapor
fraction up to about it 0-8. At higher loads, however, the;
coefficient increases with increases in vapor fraction due to the
influence of higher vapor velocities and better surface wetting.
The coefficient continues to-increase up to a leaving vapor
fraction of about * 90* percent, at which point it decreases.
sharply. It is believed that the.rapid drop-off in coefficient is \
due to insufficient liquid for wetting the tube walls. At 100 percent evaporation, the- coefficient approaches values, for single-phase gas convection. Tests by Witrig** and Seigel40 indicate a characteristic similar to that shown in Fig. 9.
-Datafor forced convection .evaporation of refrigerants have been reported by Witxig,** Ashley,41 Davis,4* Pierre,4*'44 Johnston and Chaddock,41 Altman, Norris and Staub,44 and Wors0e-Schmidt.47 Ashley's tests were conducted with Re; frigerant 12 inside a 0.575 in. I.D. tube at a refrigerant tem perature of 40 F. Fig. 10 shows his results, together with an ^estimation of the performance of other tube diameters, ob tained by nggiiming that the heat transfer coefficient increases * as the mass velocity raised to the 0.8 power. These curves are meant only to indicate the trend, since the values are uncon firmed by tests. The effect of evaporating temperature on .average heat transfer coefficients is shown in Fig. ll'based on the data of Witzig with Refrigerant 12.** Similar results are
