The stability of a gas jet in a surrounding viscous liquid is studied. An expression is developed for the critical velocity at which the jet becomes unstable in a returning viscous liquid. The stability analysis is made to correspond with the geometrical configuration of gas jets and liquid columns similar to those observed near the peak pool boiling heat flux. The critical velocity of the gas jet is then used to obtain the functional form of the peak heat flux on flat plates and cylindrical heaters. The expressions are compared with original observations of the peak heat flux in very viscous liquids on flat plate, and cylindrical, heaters at both earth-normal, and elevated, gravities.

Experimental data obtained at both earth-normal and elevated gravity, in a variety of organic liquids and water, are used to verify the hydrodynamic theory for the peak pool boiling heat flux on flat plates. A modification of Zuber’s formula, which gives a 14 percent higher peak heat flux, is verified as long as the flat plate is more than three Taylor wavelengths across. For smaller heaters, the hydrodynamic theory requires a wide variation in heat flux owing to discontinuities in the number of escaping jets. Data for smaller plates bear out this predicted variation with heat fluxes that range between 40 percent and 235 percent of Zuber’s predicted value. Finally, a method is suggested for augmenting the peak heat flux on large heaters, and shown experimentally to be viable.

Quenching of a thin gap annular flow passage by gravitational liquid penetration was examined experimentally by using R-113. The outer wall was made of copper. The inner wall was made of copper or glass. The inner diameter of the outer wall of the annular flow passages was 40 or 41 mm and the annular gap clearance δ was 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 5.0 mm. The outer wall was heated initially up to 250 °C and also the inner wall was heated when the copper inner wall was used. The quenching was observed in δ ≥ 1.0 mm. When δ = 0.5 mm, the wall was just gradually cooled down. The relation between the wall superheat and the heat flux during quenching process was similar to the boiling curve of pool boiling. However, the peak heat flux as well as the heat flux in the film and the transition boiling was lower than those in the pool boiling. These heat fluxes became lower as the gap clearance became narrow. The rewetting velocity became slow as the gap clearance became narrow. The rewetting velocity seemed to have a unique relation for the Peclet number Pe = (ρSCSδSU/λS) and the Biot number Bi = hδs/λs ; Pe ∝ Bi which was the same as that of the Yamanouchi correlation. A decrease in the heat flux (the heat transfer coefficient) in the rewetting front region, which corresponds to the peak heat flux, results in a decrease in the rewetting velocity as the gap clearance becomes narrow.

An induced-convection effect upon the peak pool-boiling heat flux is identified and described. A method is developed for correlating this effect under conditions of variable gravity, pressure and size, as well as for various boiled liquids. The effect is illustrated, and the correlation verified, with a large number of peak heat-flux data obtained on a horizontal ribbon heater. The data, obtained in a centrifuge, embrace an 87-fold range of gravity, a 22-fold range of width, a 15-fold variation of reduced pressure, and five liquids.

Since Zuber made a hydrodynamic prediction of the peak pool-boiling heat flux on an infinite flat plate, his general concept has been used to predict the peak heat flux in two finite heater configurations. These latter predictions have differed from Zuber’s in the introduction of a largely empirical variable—the thickness of the vapor escape path around the body. The present study shows how measurements of this thickness can be combined with the hypothesis that the vapor velocity within the vapor blanket must match the vapor velocity in the escaping jet above the heater. The result is a more exact description of the hydrodynamics of vapor removal. This idea is used to suggest the possibility of a universal value for the ratio of the cross-sectional area of escaping jets to the heater area for large finite heaters and for long slender heaters. A set of general ground rules is developed for predicting the peak heat fluxes on both large and small heaters. These rules are used in turn to predict the peak heat flux from horizontal ribbons. They are also used to correct the traditional prediction for infinite-flat-plate heaters. The predictions are supported with new data.

The Marangoni effect on the critical heat flux (CHF) condition in pool boiling of binary mixtures has been identified and its effect has been quantitatively estimated with a modified model derived from hydrodynamics. The physical process of CHF in binary mixtures, and models used to describe it, are examined in the light of recent experimental evidence, accurate mixture properties, and phase equilibrium revealing a correlation to surface tension gradients and volatility. A correlation is developed from a heuristic model including the additional liquid restoring force caused by surface tension gradients. The CHF condition was determined experimentally for saturated methanol/water, 2-propanol/water, and ethylene glycol/water mixtures, over the full range of concentrations, and compared to the model. The evidence in this study demonstrates that in a mixture with large differences in surface tension, there is an additional hydrodynamic restoring force affecting the CHF condition.
