Boiling Pure Fluids at Sub Atmospheric Pressures

The study and sizing of sorption machine evaporators are based on the prediction of the heat transfer coefficient at atmospheric pressures, but in the literature we only find correlations modeled from experiments for a wide range of pressure, where the majority of the data are above atmospheric pressure; A review of the experiments of boiling at sub-atmospheric pressures was carried out and compared to four known correlations for three types of fluids, which are water, hydrocarbons and refrigerants; The results obtained showed deviations of the predicted data from the experimental values for three correlations and convincing results for the fourth.
