| Popis: | An experimental study has been performed to improve understanding of boiling phenomena and critical heat flux (CHF) in narrow gaps. The experiment has been performed with annular test sections submerged in a pool of saturated water under atmospheric pressure with the following conditions: outer diameter of inner tube of 19 mm; heated length of 200 mm; annular gap sizes of 0.5–3.5 mm, and inclination angles from horizontal to vertical positions. The experimental results reveal that the CHF increases with the gap size and the inclination angle. A one-dimensional two-phase model with a modified friction factor correlation is suggested to predict the CHF condition. The developed model is also compared with other CHF data. |
