A method for graphically presenting fully developed nucleate boiling heat transfer correlations currently being used for design purposes enables the engineer to compute a numerical value of the boiling heat flux, or corresponding wall superheat, rapidly and without knowledge of the physical properties of the fluid, other than at one arbitrary reference state. ACONVENIENT method is illustrated for presenting boiling heat transfer correlations in engineering handbooks or design manuals. This method is applicable to such correlations as those given by Engelberg-Forster and Grief (7), Rohsenow (3), and Seader, Miller, and Kalvinskas ( 4 ) . If the ratio of the functions f(q/A,AT,) and f(q/A,ATJref, which are determined from the chosen boiling correlation, are plotted against reduced pressure, it forms a single curve for a number of different fluids. The method is, thus, analogous to the law of corresponding states and is demonstrated here with the Engleberg-Forster and Grief correlation, for which j ( q / A,AT,) becomes A T s / a . A curve of ( A T , / d G ) / ( A T , /
