    Abstract: In this investigation, nucleate boiling heat transfer coefficients and dynamic contact angle were experimentally measured during pool boiling of water on a horizontal heating rod in heat flux range between 1-120 kW m<SUP>&#150;2</SUP> under atmospheric pressure. Experiments were performed at several degrees of surface roughness ranging between 3 and 43 &#956;m average vertical deviation. The results showed that dynamic contact angle is increased with increased heat flux and surface roughness. A new model is proposed to predict Stanton dimensionless number by employing dimensional analysis. This model has &lt;2% absolute error.
