This experimental investigation deals with nucleate boiling studies on horizontal cylindrical heating elements made out of copper in the medium of Forane around atmospheric conditions. The data could be successfully correlated with the system of criteria employed by the authors in their earlier study of nucleate boiling process on cylindrical heating elements. Inclusion of the data from the present experimental study on Forane and that of other investigators yielded a comprehensive correlation with an average deviation of 20% and standard deviation of 25% over a wide range of system pressures.
