Abstract

A physical model of liquid boiling crisis in channels with smooth walls at high subcooling and high mass flowrate is presented. The condition of the crisis incipience is stated. The calculation correlation for critical heat flowrate q cr in channels is given, which enables to analyze the effect of the channel diameter, subcooling, and mass flowrate on q cr.
