A general correlation for heat transfer during film boiling in tubes is presented. It is based on the two-step model. It has been verified with data for nine fluids flowing up in tubes. The fluids include water, cryogens, refrigerants, and chemicals. The range of data includes pressures from 1 to 215 bar, reduced pressures from 0.0046 to 0.97, mass velocities from 4 to 5,176 kg/m² s, tube diameters from 1.1 to 24.3 mm, and qualities from 0.1 to 2.4. The 546 data points are predicted with a mean deviation of 15.2%. Deviation is defined as the difference between the measured and predicted heat transfer coefficients divided by the measured heat transfer coefficient, the heat transfer coefficients being based on the saturation temperature. Three other well-known correlations are also compared to the same data and found to have much larger deviations. The correlation is also compared with a limited amount of data from horizontal tubes; the results are encouraging.
