An experimental study of the critical heat flux has been carried out for natural convective boiling at atmospheric pressure in vertical rectangular channels. Experiments in four kinds of test liquids (water, ethanol, freon 113, and benzene) have been made for the ratio l/s less than 120, in which l is the length of the heated surface and s is the width of the channels. A generalized correlation for the critical heat-flux data in the four test liquids is evolved.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
