Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMathematical Model Predicting the Critical Heat Flux of Nuclear ReactorsChien-Hsiung Lee, Lih-Wu Hourng, Kuo-Wei LinBoiling heat transfer system keeps a nuclear power plant safe without getting over-heated. Crisis will occur if the dissipated heat flux exceeds the critical heat flux value. This study assumes the flow boiling system at high heat flux is characterized by the existence of a very thin liquid layer, known as the "sublayer", which is trapped between the heated surface … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 12 · 12 Dec 2012 · 7,695 accessesView PDFCite
