Finding the limiting heat flux above which nucleate boiling starts and below which forced convective heat transfer exists is a crucial task for the accuracy of results from crude oil fouling tests. In this study, crude oils from two sources were tested at bulk temperatures of 100, 120 and 140 °C an...
