Stability of forced-convection subcooled boiling in steady-state and transient annular flow.

摘要

A semi-analytical model developed by Lee and Bankoff for OFI in round tubes is extended to annular or parallel-plate flows with unequal heat fluxes, and shown to compare well with data by Dougherty, et al. and by Whittle and Forgan. The model is a better fit in the high Peclet number range than the Saha-Zuber model, and is simple to use.
