Abstract:It is widely believed that the behavior of vapor bubble/blanket over heating surface plays a critical role in determining the critical heat flux (CHF) in the subcooled flow boiling. Various CHF models are based on phenomenon observations of vapor bubble/blanket in the flow channel and use vapor bubble/blanket physical parameters to determine CHF values. In this study, subcooled flow boiling tests were conducted on the experiment facility “Test of External Vessel Surface with Enhanced Cooling” (TESEC). A series… Show more
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.
