Examples in Context

  1. This paper deals with experimental and numerical computation analysis of the critical heat flux ( CHF ) occurrence at the conditions of subcooled boiling flow in rod bundles with grid spacers.
  2. The effects of gap size, heat flux and inlet subcooling on the boiling incipience, flow pattern, heat transfer coefficient, flow instability and critical heat flux were analyzed and discussed.
  3. These results provide some theoretical bases for critical heat flux control in space.
  4. In the experiments, onset of the nucleate boiling ( ONE ), two-phase flow pattern, heat transfer performance, flow instability and critical heat flux were carefully observed and recorded.
  5. From the analysis of the boiling mechanism and processing by means of the analogy principle of two-phase flow, we have been derived a criterion equation to express critical heat flux.
