Inverted annular film boiling and the Bromley model
Description
The inverted annular flow regime is one of those which occur in a boiling two-phase flow when the wall temperature is too high for the liquid to wet the wall. This paper briefly reviews the current knowledge of inverted annular flow, and goes on to consider the effect of quality and flow rate on the associated heat transfer. A new model, developed from the well known Bromley model, is compared with new data from a single tube reflooding experiment. Good agreement is demonstrated for the range of conditions appropriate to the reflooding of a PWR core following a large loss-of-coolant accident
