Comparison of Heat and Mass Transfer Correlations with Forced Convective Monequilibrium Post-CHF Experimental Data

摘要

Forced convective, nonequilibrium post-CHF heat transfer data (766 points) have been obtained at high pressure and low mass flux ranges not previously tested. The data are unique in that the superheated vapor temperature was measured at multiple elevations allowing the direct calculation of vapor generation rates. The data are useful for verification or development of nonequilibrium heat and mass transfer models. Current film boiling heat transfer correlations do not predict the data well. The Dougall-Rohsenow equilibrium correlation is the only one investigated that reasonably predicts the measured wall heat fluxes. Current vapor generation rate models do not adequately predict the measured vapor generation rates. (ERA citation 09:047845)
