Abstract:Heat transfer during subcooled flow boiling has a pivotal role in pressurized water reactors; it also occurs in boiling water reactors prior to the onset of saturated nucleate boiling. We examined the condensation behavior of vapor bubbles in the subcooled liquid phase using the fully compressible two-phase homogeneous mixture method, solved by an implicit dual-time preconditioned method. The continuous surface force method was applied to determine the surface tension between the phases in the simulation. To p… 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.
