Abstract
This paper summarizes the important findings of all our previous work concerning nucleate boiling in drag-reducing polymer solutions. Nucleate boiling curves are presented for aqueous solutions of three different molecular weight grades of hydroxyethyl cellulose and three different types of polyacrylamide. The boiling curves have been measured using an electrically heated platinum wire submerged in a saturated pool of liquid at atmospheric pressure. When compared to the boiling curve of the pure solvent, in this case water, all of the polymer solution boiling curves showed higher temperature differences as the polymer solution viscosity increased. These results differ from those reported by earlier investigators for pool boiling of dilute polymer solutions on heated flat plates.
