A Percolation Model for Boiling and Predicting CHF

Boiling is a ubiquitous process in numerous applications, characterized by the heat transfer coefficient (HTC) and critical heat flux (CHF). Exceeding CHF can result in catastrophic failure of a system, making it an important value to understand; however, there is no universal model for predicting i...
