The Effect of Two-Phase Flow Pattern on the Nature of Heat Transfer Crisis in Boiling

Performance study of an evaporator tube working under high heat fluxes

“…It is established by Sarma [1] and in subsequent articles by Styrikovich et al [2][3][4][5][6] that the favored location of scaling of salts is where the critical dryness fraction is such that the heat transfer conditions get impaired drastically due to the absence of liquid film on the tube wall. Absence of the liquid film on the inner periphery of tube wall will lead to sudden rise in wall temperature seriously affecting the heat transfer from the wall to two-phase flow in the core.…”
