A Comprehensive Examination of Heat Transfer Correlations Suitable for Reactor Safety Analysis

TL;DR: The boiling crisis is characterized by either a sudden rise in surface temperature, caused by the heated surface being covered by a stable vapor film (film boiling), or by small surface temperature spikes, corresponding to the appearance and disappearance of dry patches (transition boiling).

An experimental study of subcooled film boiling of refrigerants in vertical up-flow

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of mass flux, inlet subcooling and pressure on the heat transfer coefficient for vertical up-flow in a directly heated tube using the refrigerants R-12, R-22 and R-134a as test fluids.

Analytical modeling of inverted annular film boiling

TL;DR: In this paper, a two-fluid formulation for the Inverted Annular Film Boiling region is developed, and the conservation equations, together with appropriate closure relations are solved numerically.

Experimental study of steady-state film boiling heat transfer of subcooled water flowing upwards in a vertical tube

TL;DR: A series of steady-state, post-DNB experiments have been performed on a vertically mounted Inconel 600 tubular test section of 0.28 m length (9 mm bore, 12 mm O.D.) with forced convective upflow of water at atmospheric pressure to investigate heat transfer characteristics at subcooled inverted annular flow film boiling (IAFFB) conditions as mentioned in this paper.

Heat Transfer in Film Boiling of Flowing Water

Yuzhou Chen
TL;DR: In particular, due to the peculiar feature of the boiling curve it is difficult to establish the film boiling regime at stable condition in a heat flux controlled system by using a conventional experimental technique.

Prediction of thermal non-equilibrium in the post-dryout regime

TL;DR: In this article, a method of evaluating the non-equilibrium in vapor enthalphy (due to vapor superheating) from experimentally obtained post-dryout data is presented.

Measurement of Vapor Superheat in Post-Critical-Heat-Flux Boiling

TL;DR: In this paper, a differentially-aspirated superheat probe was developed to measure vapor temperatures in postcritical-heat-flux, dispersed-flow boiling, which indicated very significant nonequilibrium, with vapor superheats of several hundred degrees (/sup 0/C).
