A New Paradigm for Understanding and Enhancing the Critical Heat Flux (CHF) Limit

Abstract Nearly a century of research on enhancing critical heat flux (CHF) has focused on altering the boiling surface properties such as its nucleation site density, wettability, wickability and heat transfer area. But, a mechanism to manipulate dynamics of the vapor and liquid interactions above...
