Abstract
Heat transfer rates were measured for pool boiling, in the nucleate regime at one atmosphere pressure, for distilled water on a horizontal, flat, stainless steel (Type 304) plate. The heating surfaces were prepared with different degrees of roughness by common machining operations. Heat was supplied to the specimen by a nichrome wire heating coil mounted in a Lavite block which supported the specimen.
