Abstract The heat transfer characteristic of R134a during boiling were experimentally investigated in a horizontal mini channels. The experiments used different parameters like saturation temperature, mass flux, vapour quality, channel diameter, channel geometry and thermo physical properties on the heat transfer coefficients. Several literatures are used to find a assessment correlations and experimental analysis to prepare an experimental setup and their results validation. Boiling heat transfer correlations and theoretical solutions are used to predict the experimental data in this research.

INTRODUCTION
Boiling Heat Transfer: When the temperature of a liquid at a specified pressure is raised to the saturation temperature at that pressure, boiling occurs. Boiling is classified as pool boiling or flow boiling, depending on the presence of bulk fluid motion. Boiling is called pool boiling in the absence of bulk fluid flow and flow boiling in the presence of it. Pool and flow boiling are further classified as sub cooled boiling or saturated boiling, depending on the bulk liquid temperature. Boiling is said to be sub cooled (or local) when the temperature of the main body of the liquid is below the saturation temperature T sat (i.e., the bulk of the liquid is sub cooled) and saturated (or bulk) when the temperature of the liquid is equal to T sat (i.e., the bulk of the liquid is saturated).

S. G Kandlikar studied "Fundamental issue related to flow boiling in minichannel and micro channels" Based on engineering practice and application areas employing these channels, Kandlikar proposed the following limits by hydraulic diameter: conventional channel (Dh larger than 3mm), mini-channel (Dh between 200µm and 3mm), micro-channel (Dh between 10 and 200µm). Shizuo Saitoh et al.[P8] Studied "Correlation for boiling heat transfer of R-134a in horizontal tubes including effect of tube diameter" and the effect of tube diameter on flow boiling heat transfer coefficient was characterized by the Weber number in gas phase. Results showed that this correlation could be applied to a wide range of tube diameters (0.5–11-mm-ID). In addition, the dryout point and the heat transfer characteristics after the dryout point were also investigated based on the annular flow model. A modified Chen-type correlation for the flow boiling heat transfer was developed that included the effect of tube diameter. In this correlation, the effect of tube diameter on flow boiling heat transfer was characterized by the Weber number. The correlation agreed reasonably well with experimental data for a wide range of tube diameter from 0.51 to 10.92 mm ID. From this study of paper we conclude that the modified chen type correlation better suitable for least MAE compare to kandlikar correlation and gungor and winterton correlation. Sung Min Kim et al[P9] Studied "Review of databases and predictive methods for heat transfer in condensing and boiling mini/micro-channel flows." He compared the correlation over large The accuracy of the universal correlation is also examined in by comparing individual mini/micro-channel databases from 26 sources with predictions of the universal correlation as well as select previous correlations that have shown relatively superior predictive capability. The universal correlation provides good predictions for all individual databases; with MAE least values indicating that their accuracy is not compromised against specific databases. With the most superior MAE the universal correlation predicts databases more accurately than by any of the select previous correlations. It is shown that, despite the success of previous predictive methods for specific fluids and narrow databases, this method are incapable of providing accurate predictions against entire databases. The databases are used to develop ‘universal’ correlations with very broad application range.
