Investigation of Separate Effects of Surface Condition on Subcooled Flow Boiling Heat Transfer

In Pressurized Water Reactor (PWRs), heat generated by nuclear fissions is effectively transferred to the water coolant by subcooled flow boiling. The maximum reactor power is limited by the critical heat flux (CHF), at which the boiling crisis occurs. Understanding the mechanisms that trigger this...
