Detailed Description

A correlation for boiling film modelling based on Bromley (1950) for boiling flows.

Reference:

    Bromley, L. A. (1950).
    Heat transfer in stable film boiling.
    Chemical Engineering Progress, 46, 221-227.

Usage

Example of the model specification:

filmBoilingModel
{
    // Mandatory entries
    type            Bromley;
    L               <scalar>;

    // Optional entries
    Cn              <scalar>;
    emissivity      <scalar>;
}

where the entries mean:

Property	Description	Type	Reqd	Deflt
type	Type name: Bromley	word	yes	-
L	Characteristic length scale	scalar	yes	-
Cn	Coefficient for nucleation site density	scalar	no	0.62
emissivity	Wall emissivity	scalar	no	1.0
