Summary

A model for the critical heat flux in pool and low-velocity forced convection boiling is proposed for heater surfaces relatively short in the flow direction, which utilises an experimentally-observed relationship between the critical heat flux and the bubble residence time for closure of the momentum and energy equations. The present model represents an improvement over existing models for the effects of orientation in forced convection, and approaches the result of an earlier model for pool boiling.
