The first edition of this textbook contained a large number of typographical errors.
In this, the second edition, a serious attempt has been made to correct these errors.
The major difference, however, between the first and this edition is that this edition
contains an additional chapter, Chapter 12, titled Boiling and Condensation. The
material presented in this chapter is particularly important in view of the current
interest in Renewal Energy Resources involving such devices as windmills and solar
panels. Developments in this field require a thorough familiarity with the phenomena
and mechanisms of boiling and condensation.

Condensation and Boiling
12.1 Introduction
Evaporation is a process that occurs when a liquid, maintained at a constant tem-
perature, exerts a partial vapor pressure in the gas phase, in contact with the liquid,
which is less than the saturated vapor pressure of the liquid at the same temperature.
At any finite temperature, the atoms or molecules in the liquid are in constant mo-
tion, vibrating in a cage of adjacent atoms or molecules as a result of the attractive
and repulsive forces on the central atom by its neighbors. The magnitude of this agita-
tion, which is determined by the temperature of the liquid, increases with increasing
temperature. Thus, the atoms in the layer of liquid in contact with the gas phase can
attain increases in energy which are greater than the activation energy required for
evaporation, in which case the atom is transferred from the liquid phase to the gas
phase. This process, which is called evaporation, continues until, thereby, the partial
pressure of the component in the gas phase reaches its saturated vapor pressure at the
temperature of interest.
When a liquid is contained in a vessel, its surface tension prevents it from com-
pletely filling the invariable imperfections that occur on the inner surface of the vessel.
Thus, small pockets of air or nitrogen are trapped in these imperfections, and atoms
on the liquid side of the interface, when acquiring an increase in energy greater than
the activation energy for evaporation transfer into the trapped bubble. This process
continues until the partial pressure of the component in the bubble reaches the sat-
uration pressure. This partial pressure increases with increasing temperature until
it reaches the total pressure of the gas in contact with the liquid, which is, by defi-
nition, the boiling temperature of the liquid. During the period during which the
liquid is being heated, the partial pressure of the component in the trapped bubble in-
creases, as a consequence of which, the volume of the bubble increases. At the boiling
602 Condensation and Boiling
temperature of the liquid, the geometry of the bubble makes it unstable and it detaches
from the imperfection and, due the difference between densities of the liquid and
vapor phases, rises to the free surface of the liquid where it is ejected into the gas. The
decreasing hydrostatic pressure on the rising bubble causes it to increase in volume.
When the bubble detaches from the imperfection, the volume of gas in the imperfec-
tion decreases, and the growth process begins again. This process is the same as that
when a bottle of soft drink, carbonated with CO2 at high pressure, is opened and
poured into a drinking glass. The rapid nucleation, growth, and release of the bubbles
at the surface imperfections can be seen through the glass. When the liquid is a single
component, boiling occurs at a fixed temperature, and the rate of boiling increases
with increasing rate of transfer of heat to the liquid.
Condensation occurs when an atom or molecule in the gas phase strikes the free
surface of the liquid and is captured. The individual atoms or molecules in the gas
phase have velocities within a spectrum of velocities, the extremes of which are deter-
mined by the temperature of the gas and the atomic or molecular weights of particles
in the gas. Particles with a high enough velocity, and hence high enough kinetic en-
ergy, are captured by the liquid and this process is called condensation. Particles with
less than this velocity undergo elastic collisions with the free surface and bounce back
into the gas phase. When the partial pressure of the component in the gas phase equals
its saturated vapor pressure, the rates of evaporation and condensation are equal and
phase equilibrium occurs.
A knowledge of the mechanisms of the transport of heat between a solid surface
and the fluid with which it is contact is important in the heat treatment of ferrous al-
loys. Time-Temperature-Transformation (T-T-T) Diagrams for ferrous alloys show
the influence of cooling rates (quenching rates) on the microstructure obtained at
room temperature. In the case of plain carbon steels of the eutectoid composition,
increasing the cooling rate causes microstructures to vary in the range of coarse pearl-
ite, fine pearlite, upper bainite, lower bainite. If the cooling rate is rapid enough that
the variation of temperature with time misses the nose of the T-T-T curve, austenite
is retained until the Ms (martensite start) temperature is reached. At this point, with
further cooling, the face-centered cubic g phase transforms, by diffusionless shear, to
the body-centered tetragonal martensite phase. This transformation continues until
the temperature reaches the Mf (martensite finish) temperature. The change in molar
volume accompanying this phase change gives rise to high shear stresses at the phase
boundaries, which causes the martensite phase to be brittle. This brittleness is re-
moved by tempering the alloy at a temperature high enough to allow some nucleation
and precipitation of cementite from the martensite.

q "s depends on both the convection coefficient, h, and the excess temperature, DTe.
The various boiling regimes are delineated by their values of DTe.
Nucleate Boiling
Nucleate boiling occurs in the range DTe,A d DTe d DTe,C, where DTe,C 30 centigrade
degrees. Two flow regimes exist in this range. At lower temperatures in the region
A-B, isolated bubbles form at nucleation sites and separate from the surface, which,
by causing significant mixing in the fluid adjacent to the surface, substantially in-
creases both h and q ".s Most of the heat exchange is by direct transfer from the sur-
face to the liquid in motion at the surface. As DTe is increased beyond DTe,B, more
nucleation sites become active and the consequent increased formation of bubbles
causes interference between, and coalescence of, the bubbles. In the region B - C the
vapor escapes in columns, which eventually merge into slugs of vapor. Motion of the
liquid near the surface is inhibited by interference between the densely populated
bubbles. Point P in Fig. 12.1 is a point of inflection on the boiling curve at which h has
a maximum value. At this point h begins to decrease with increasing DTe , although
s which is the product of h and DTe continues to increase. This situation arises be-
q ",
cause, for DTe > DTe,P the relative increase in DTe exceeds the relative decrease in h. At
the point C, however, the further increase in DTe is balanced by the decrease in h. The
maximum heat flux, qs,C" = qmax", the critical heat flux, in water at atmospheric pres-
sure exceeds 1 MW/m2. At this point, the amount of vapor formed makes it difficult
for the liquid to continuously wet the surface.
Transition boiling
The region DTe,C DTe DTe,D, where DTe,D @ is called, transition boiling, film boiling
or partial film boiling. The rate of formation of bubbles is now so rapid that a film
of vapor begins to form on the surface. At any point on the surface, conditions may
change from film to nucleate boiling, but the fraction of the total surface covered by
the film increases with increasing DTe. Because the thermal conductivity of the vapor
s decrease with increasing DTe .
is much less than that of the liquid, h, and q ",
Film Boiling
Film boiling occurs in the range DTe DTe,D. At the point D on the boiling curve,
referred to as the Leidenfrost point, the heat flux is a minimum, q ",
s = q"min and the sur-
face is completely covered with a film of vapor. Heat transfer from the surface to the
liquid occurs by conduction through the vapor. With further increase in the surface
temperature, radiation through the vapor film becomes significant and the heat flux
increases with increasing DTe.
The preceding discussion concerns the condition in which the heat flux, q ", s is de-
termined by the imposed value of DTe. The behavior is significantly different if the
heat flux is the independent variable. Consider starting at some point P, shown in

Fig. 12.2, and increasing the heat flux. The system moves, as before, up the boiling
curve to the point C, but any attempt to further increase the heat flux causes the sys-
tem to jump to the point E, which probably occurs at a temperature higher than the
melting temperature of the solid, which, consequently, causes destruction of the solid.
For this reason, point C is called the burnout point, and it is important that the value
of the critical heat flux be known accurately, as it may be required that the system be
operated at a heat flux which is close to the critical value, but which may not exceed
the critical value. Applications involving controlling q include nuclear reactors and
devices heated by resistance to the passage of an electrical current.
q s = C D Tea nb (12.7)
where n is the number of active nucleation sites per unit area, and the exponents are
approximately a = 1.2 and b = 1/3. Although the type of fluid-surface combination
has a considerable influence on the values of C and n, it has been found that, for most
commercial surfaces, n is proportional to DT e5 or DT e6. Thus, from Eq. (12.7), it follows
that q "s is approximately proportional to DT e3. Consideration of Eq. (12.7) led to the
first and most useful correlation

where the subscripts l and v, respectively, denote the saturated liquid and vapor states.
The inclusion of the surface tension, s, follows from the large effect that the surface
tension has on the formation and development of bubbles. The coefficient CS and the
exponent n depend on combination of surface and liquids and representative values
are listed in Table 12.1.

Note that the analogy between film boiling and film condensation does not hold
for small surfaces with high curvature because of the large difference between vapor
and liquid film thicknesses for the two processes.

12.5 Summary
The term boiling is used to describe the process of evaporation at the free surface
of a liquid and the modes of boiling are shown graphically on a log-log plot of the
variation of the heat flux, from the solid surface of the liquid, with the excess tem-
perature. Newtons Law gives the relationship between the heat flux and the excess
temperature.
The boiling curve shows the various regimes of boiling. With increasing excess
temperature these are (i) free convection boiling, (ii) nucleate boiling, (iii) transition
boiling, and (iv) film boiling. Equations have been developed to give the dependence
of the surface heat flux on the values of the various properties that influence this flux.
The point C on the boiling curve is the critical heat flux, and an expression has been
derived for the dependence of this critical heat flux on the same properties.
The minimum heat flux occurs at the Leidenfrost point, and an equation has been
developed to give the dependence of the value of this minimum heat flux on the vari-
ous properties of the system. At elevated temperatures, radiation heat transfer across
the vapor film becomes significant.

Transport Phenomena in Materials Engineering
s e c ond edIt Ion, By David R. Gaskell
This classic text on fluid flow, heat transfer, and mass transport has been brought up to
date in this second edition. The author has added a chapter on Boiling and Conden-
sation that expands and rounds out the books comprehensive coverage on transport
phenomena. These new topics are particularly important to current research in renewable
energy resources involving technologies such as windmills and solar panels.
The book provides you and other materials science and engineering students and pro-
fessionals with a clear yet thorough introduction to these important concepts. It balances
the explanation of the fundamentals governing fluid flow and the transport of heat and
mass with common applications of these fundamentals to specific systems existing in
materials engineering. You will benefit from:
The use of familiar examples such as air and water to introduce the influences of
properties and geometry on fluid flow.
An organization with sections dealing separately with fluid flow, heat transfer,
and mass transport. This sequential structure allows the development of heat
transport concepts to employ analogies of heat flow with fluid flow and the de-
velopment of mass transport concepts to employ analogies with heat transport.
Ample high-quality graphs and figures throughout.
Key points presented in chapter summaries.
End of chapter exercises and solutions to selected problems.
An all new and improved comprehensive index.
