10–111 Water is boiled at 84.5 kPa pressure and thus at a saturation (or boiling) temperature of Tsat = 95C in a mechanically
polished AISI 304 stainless steel pan placed on top of a 3-kW electric burner. Only 60% of the heat (1.8 kW) generated is

Also, ksteel = 14.9 W/mK (Table A-3),
0.0130 and n = 1.0 for the boiling of water on a mechanically polished stainless
steel surface (Table 10-3). Note that we expressed the properties in units specified under Eq. 10-2 in connection with their
definitions in order to avoid unit manipulations.

The Rohsenow relation which gives the nucleate boiling heat flux for a specified surface temperature can also be used to
determine the surface temperature when the heat flux is given.
Assuming nucleate boiling, the temperature of the inner surface of the pan is determined from Rohsenow relation to be
