PREDICTION OF EVAPORATION, PRESSURE DRIVING FORCE, AND HEAT TRANSFER IN CALANDRIA TUBES
By STEPHENS, DW; HARRIS, JA
A heat transfer model of boiling flow in steam heated calandria tubes is presented. The model predictions for vapour formation, heat transfer and pressure difference are compared with experimental data and yield reasonable agreement. Characteristic curves are presented showing predicted evaporation rate, heat transfer and pressure difference for a set of parameters representative of a high grade vacuum pan near the start of a strike.
