Prediction of pressure drops in forced convection subcooled boiling water flows.

Author(s) : HOFFMAN M. A., WONG C. F.

Type of article: Article

Summary

The flow in the single-phase-liquid regime, the partially-developed boiling (PDB) regime and the fully-developed boiling (FDB) regime is modeled including the effects of nonequilibrium quality and void fraction and property variations along the tube. Improved models for the PDB and FDB regimes and extensive comparisons with experimental data are described. Pressure drop predictions of the model are compared with over 100 experimental runs and found to agree within approximately about 20%.
