Critical Heat Flux in Subcooled Flow Boiling of Water

The Effect of Linear Change of Tube Diameter on Subcooled Flow Boiling and Critical Heat Flux

One of the major industry problems is the flow boiling, where reaching to the critical heat flux (CHF) condition can lead to a temperature jump and damage of the systems. In the present study, the effects of a uniform change in tube diameter on subcooled flow boiling and CHF was numerically investigated. The Euler-Euler model was used to investigate the relationship between the two liquid and v...

Critical heat flux in subcooled flow boiling of fluorocarbon liquid on a simulated electronic chip in a vertical rectangular channel

Experiments are performed to correlate and model CHF during subcooled flow boiling of dielectric fluoro~rbon (FC-72) liquid on a smooth 12.7 x 12.7 mm* sirn~at~ electronic chip inside a vertical rectangular channel. Two distinct CHF regimes are established based on flow visualization and experimental data. At low flow velocities, CHF is accompanied by the formation of a continuous vapor blanket...

Experimental Study on the Effect of Magnetic Field on Critical Heat Flux of Ferrofluid Flow Boiling in a Vertical Tube

In the present work, the critical heat flux measurements were performed for the subcooled flow boiling of pure water and magnetic nanofluids (i.e., water + 0.01 and 0.1 vol.% Fe‌‌3O4) in a vertical tube. The effect of applying an external magnetic field on the CHF variation was studied experimentally as well. The obtained results indicated that the subcooled flow boiling CHF in the vertical tub...

Modeling of Upward Subcooled Flow Boiling of Refrigerant-113 in a Vertical Annulus

In this paper, a modified two-fluid model has been adopted to simulate the process of upward vertical subcooled flow boiling of refrigerant R-113 in a vertical annular channel at low pressure. The modified model considers temperature dependent properties and saturation temperature variation and was validated against a number of published low-pressure subcooled boiling experiments. The results s...
