Abstract
A modified version of Hammouda’s model for heat transfer in the inverted annular flow mode region is proposed, central to which is the use of temperature factor in calculating the Nusselt number and a new approximation of the influence coefficient θ. As a result, good agreement with experimental data for steam-water flow is obtained. Criteria for selecting the length integration step in computation codes are suggested.
