Analysis of the Critical Heat-Flux Condition in High-Pressure Boiling Water Flows
Keyword(s):
Based on the two-phase flow patterns shown in high-speed motion pictures of the process, a general working equation is derived which relates the critical heat flux for high-pressure bulk boiling water in forced convection to the significant local flow parameters and fluid properties. The equation is applied to a representative selection of several hundred data points from the major available sources for the purpose of investigating trends in the data and to test the validity of the equation.
