The critical heat flux for boiling water in tubes

  • Published:
The Soviet Journal of Atomic Energy Aims and scope

Abstract

An analysis of the experimental results obtained by various authors on critical heat flux is carried out by using nondimensional criteria. Recommendations are given for the numerical methods of determining values of the critical heat flux in the case of a steam-water mixture, underheated to saturation in tubes and in ring-shaped and plane slotted channels.
