In the previous experiments we have dealt with heat transfer by convection to single phase fluids, or simply pure liquids or pure gases. But what happens when this heat transfer takes place with a fluid that is undergoing a phase change? We know from thermodynamics that there will be an exchange of latent heat associated with the phase change. Secondly, there will be a density difference between the two phases, and thirdly, there will be surface tension between the liquid vapor interfaces. All of these parameters will significantly affect heat transfer rates and coefficients during a phase change. Since boiling and condensation are the most important phase changes for heat transfer studies, we will only deal with these two for now.
