AbstractAbstract
[en] This paper provides an analysis of available correlations and models for the prediction of Critical Heat Flux (CHF) in subcooled flow boiling in the ranges of interest of fusion reactor thermal-hydraulic conditions, i.e., high inlet liquid subcooling and velocity and small channel diameter and length. The aim of the study was to establish the limits of validity of present predictive tools (most of them were proposed with reference to LWR thermal-hydraulic studies) in the above conditions. The reference data-set represents most of available data covering wide ranges of operating conditions in the framework of present interest (0.1 < p < 5.5 MPa; 0.3 < D < 15 mm; 100 < L < 300 mm; 2 < G < 40.5 Mg/square meter/second; 90 < delta Tsub, in < 230 K). Among the tens of predictive tools available in literature, four correlations (Levy, Westinghouse, modified-Tong and Tong-75) and three models (Weisman and Ileslamlou Lee and Mudawar and Katto) were selected. The modified-Tong correlation and the Katto model seem to be reliable predictive tools for the calculation of the CHF in subcooled flow boiling
