#### **Table A.**

*Average values of constants in the Rohsenow pool-boiling correlation and prediction intervals (for all references and other details of experiments and boiling surfaces/conditions, see [8]).*

Materials of surfaces are located according to the value of thermal conductivity: from highest to lower ones.

Surfaces of the same material generally are located according to the decreasing value of *Csf*.

All surfaces were located horizontally except where noted.

Generally two-phase thermosyphon-type chambers were used with boiling surface (plates, disks, or strips) located on the bottom or immersed in a pool (wires or tubes) and condensing part at the top.

In the present work plates (boiling surface 411 51 mm) from copper (no surface treatment, naturally oxidized, thickness 6.4 mm, *R*<sup>a</sup> = 1.37, *R*<sup>q</sup> = 1.73), aluminum (surface machined and oxidized, thickness 12.7 mm,), brass (no surface treatment, thickness 6.4 mm), and SS304 stainless steel (no surface treatment, thickness 9.62 mm) were used.
