Axial void fraction profile in low pressure subcooled flow boiling
Abstract
Axial void fraction profiles in subcooled flow boiling in a vertical annulus were obtained using gamma attenuation techniques for different levels of mass flux, wall heat flux and inlet subcooling. A mechanistic model was developed to predict the axial void fraction profile. Various closure relationships were used and a new model, for dividing the wall heat flux between vapour generation and heating the subcooled liquid, was incorporated. The …
