  • The Development of a Mechanistic Critical Heat Flux Correlation

    Creator:
    Luitjens, Jeffrey M.
    Abstract:
    A mechanistic based critical heat flux (CHF) correlation has been developed derived from a mass, momentum, and energy balance at a nucleation site for water. The trigger mechanism for the CHF condition is postulated to be related to the maximum boiling frequency on a heated surface. It is observed that...
