Critical Heat Flux at Boiling and Its Dependence on Characteristics of Heat-Release Wall (Review)

Abstract

It is experimentally established that heat transfer and critical heat flux depend much on both the physical properties of the refrigerant and a number of characteristics of the heat-release wall. Below are analyzed experimental data of different authors and an attempt ismade to understand why critical heat flux values in experimental studies deviate significantly from values calculated by the available models of crisis emergence.
