摘要
This study is the first attempt at extending the Interfacial Lift-off CHF Model to subcooled flow boiling conditions. A new CHF database was generated for FC-72 from ground tests as well as from microgravity tests that were performed in parabolic flight trajectory. These tests also included high-speed video imaging and analysis of the liquid–vapor interface during the CHF transient. Both the CHF data and the video records played a vital role in constructing and validating the extended CHF model. The fundamental difference between the original Interfacial Lift-off Model, which was developed for saturated flow boiling, and the newly extended model is the partitioning of wall energy between sensible and latent heat for subcooled flow boiling. This partitioning is modeled with the aid of a new “heat utility ratio”. Using this ratio, the extended Interfacial Lift-off Model is shown to effectively predict both saturated and subcooled flow boiling CHF in Earth gravity and in microgravity.
