Description

This review discusses basic boiling heat transfer mechanisms of interest to boiling water reactor and pressurized water reactor thermal-hydraulics. Included are the present understanding and recent advances in incipient boiling, nucleate boiling, burnout, post dryout, and quenching. Brief mention is made of other heat transfer processes of interest to reactor operation under normal and fault conditions
