Description

In a water cooled nuclear reactor, fuel clad surface operates at a temperature close to the saturation temperature of water. Maximum heat flux levels are invariably very high. At the design stage, it has to be confirmed that under any likely situation, the heat flux does not exceed critical heat flux. To understand the phenomenon of critical heat flux, many phenomenological models have been developed and are reviewed in this paper. (author). 27 refs., 15 figs
