Experimental Investigation of Subcooled Flow Boiling and CHF at Prototypical Pressures of Light Water Reactors

Boiling crisis is an important phenomenon that affects the performance and safety of pressurized water reactors (PWRs). Accurate predictions of the boiling crisis are difficult to make because they require a clear understanding of the physical mechanisms leading to the boiling crisis combined with a...
