The paper contains results of applying the Rohsenow pool-boiling correlation to data from the literature. Recent evidence supports the premise that the coefficient Csf and the exponent r of the Rohsenow equation vary with surface preparation technique as well as with liquid-surface combination. Eleven separate studies involving seven liquid-surface combinations and seven different surface preparation techniques have been correlated. Appropriate values of r and Csf have been determined using least squares techniques in conjunction with the Rohsenow equation to represent the various data investigated.
