10-47E Water is boiled at 1 atm pressure and thus at a saturation (or boiling) temperature of Tsat = 212F by a horizontal
polished copper heating element whose surface temperature is maintained at Ts = 988F. The rate of heat transfer to the water
per unit length of the heater is to be determined.
Assumptions 1 Steady operating conditions exist. 2 Heat losses from the boiler are negligible.

Also, g = 32.2 ft/s2 = 32.2(3600)2 ft/h2. Note that we expressed the properties in units that will cancel each other in boiling
heat transfer relations. Also note that we used vapor properties at 1 atm pressure from Table A-16E instead of the properties
of saturated vapor from Table A-9E since the latter are at the saturation pressure of 1541 psia (105 atm).

Discussion Convection heat transfer coefficient in film boiling is generally lower than that of nucleate boiling, because the
excess temperature of film boiling is much larger than that of nucleate boiling.

Discussion The nucleate boiling convection heat transfer coefficient is about 175 times higher than that of film boiling. This
is because the vapor film surrounding the heater surface during film boiling impedes convection heat transfer.
Note that the film temperature Tf = (2192 + 100)/2 = 1146C, is close to the assumed value of 1150C used in film boiling for
the evaluation of vapor properties.
