A critical heat flux model for tubes containing twisted tapes

  • 1. Univ. of Cincinnati, OH (United States)

Description

The use of subcooled flow boiling for the cooling of high-flux components is being considered for several fusion reactor designs. To enhance the critical heat flux (CHF), the insertion of twisted tapes within the cooling tubes has been proposed. A number of empirical correlations for CHF in the presence of twisted tapes have been developed. However, no phenomenological model has been available for CHF in the presence of swirling flow
