In this paper we provide a review of heat transfer and wall heat flux partitioning models/correlations applicable to subcooled forced flow nucleate boiling. Details of both empirical and mechanistic models that have been proposed in the literature are provided. A comparison of the experimental data with predictions from selected models is also included.
