Abstract

This short report substantiates the advisability of developing a two-stage model for the emergence and development of a boiling crisis. One of the stages is the violation of the stability of the two-phase wall layer, and the other is the appearance and fusion of dry spots on the heating surface. The use of a two-stage (“temporary”) model makes it possible to combine both well-known approaches to crisis analysis—hydrodynamic and thermal—in a single logical system. In the first approach, the characteristics of the boiling crisis are characteristic of high pressures in a boiling liquid, while those in the second are for low pressures.
