    r'''Calculates heat transfer coefficient for a evaporator operating
    in the nucleate boiling regime according to [2]_ as presented in [1]_.
    Five variants are possible.

    Either heat flux or excess temperature is required. The forms for `Te` are
    not shown here, but are similar to those of the other functions.

        h = 0.23X_1^{0.674} X_2^{0.35} X_3^{0.371} X_5^{0.297} X_8^{-1.73} k_L/d_B

        X1 = \frac{q D_d}{K_L T_{sat}}

        X2 = \frac{\alpha^2 \rho_L}{\sigma D_d}

        X3 = \frac{C_{p,L} T_{sat} D_d^2}{\alpha^2}

        X4 = \frac{H_{vap} D_d^2}{\alpha^2}

        X5 = \frac{\rho_V}{\rho_L}

        X6 = \frac{C_{p,l} \mu_L}{k_L}

        X7 = \frac{\rho_W C_{p,W} k_W}{\rho_L C_{p,L} k_L}

        D_b = 0.0146\theta\sqrt{\frac{2\sigma}{g(\rho_L-\rho_g)}}

    Respectively, the following four correlations are for water, hydrocarbons,
    cryogenic fluids, and refrigerants.

    .. math::
        h = 0.246\times 10^7 X1^{0.673} X4^{-1.58} X3^{1.26}X8^{5.22}k_L/d_B

        h = 0.0546 X5^{0.335} X1^{0.67} X8^{-4.33} X4^{0.248}k_L/d_B

        h = 4.82 X1^{0.624} X7^{0.117} X3^{0.374} X4^{-0.329}X5^{0.257} k_L/d_B

        h = 207 X1^{0.745} X5^{0.581} X6^{0.533} k_L/d_B

    Parameters
    ----------

        Density of the liquid [kg/m^3]
    rhog : float
        Density of the produced gas [kg/m^3]
    mul : float
        Viscosity of liquid [Pa*s]
    kl : float
        Thermal conductivity of liquid [W/m/K]
    Cpl : float
        Heat capacity of liquid [J/kg/K]
    Hvap : float
        Heat of vaporization of the fluid at P, [J/kg]
    sigma : float
        Surface tension of liquid [N/m]
    Tsat : float
        Saturation temperature at operating pressure [Pa]
    Te : float, optional
        Excess wall temperature, [K]
    q : float, optional
        Heat flux, [W/m^2]
    kw : float, optional
        Thermal conductivity of wall (only for cryogenics) [W/m/K]
    rhow : float, optional
        Density of the wall (only for cryogenics) [kg/m^3]
    Cpw : float, optional
        Heat capacity of wall (only for cryogenics) [J/kg/K]
    angle : float, optional
        Contact angle of bubble with wall [degrees]
    correlation : str, optional
        Any of 'general', 'water', 'hydrocarbon', 'cryogenic', or 'refrigerant'

    Returns
    -------
    h : float
        Heat transfer coefficient [W/m^2/K]

    Notes
    -----
    If cryogenic correlation is selected, metal properties are used. Default
    values are the properties of copper at STP.

    The angle is selected automatically if a correlation is selected; if angle
    is provided anyway, the automatic selection is ignored. A IndexError
    exception is raised if the correlation is not in the dictionary
    _angles_Stephan_Abdelsalam.

    Examples
    --------
    Example is from [3]_ and matches.
