Influence of the thickness of a wall and of its thermophysical characteristics on the critical heat flux in boiling

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

The experimental data published by various authors who studied the burnout heat transfer in boiling have been analyzed. It is shown that the critical heat flux depends substantially on the physical properties of both the boiling liquid and cooled wall and its geometric parameters.
