Critical heat flux in subcooled flow boiling - An Assessment of current understanding and future directions for research
Abstract
Critical Heat Flux, or CHF, is an important condition that
defines the upper limit of safe operation of heat transfer equipment
employing boiling heat transfer in heat flux controlled systems. Although
significant research has been conducted in this field, a clear understanding
of the basic mechanisms leading to the CHF condition is still lacking. The
present article covers the subcooled flow boiling CHF and reviews the
parametric trends and photographic studies reported by earlier
investigators. An in-depth review of the existing models is presented in
light of these studies, and further research needs are identified.
