Assessment of a Theoretical Model for Predicting Forced Convective Critical Heat Flux in Rod Bundles

This study proposes a theoretical model for predicting forced convective critical heat flux (CHF) in rod bundles based on the bubble crowding phenomenon. The theoretical model applied to the rod bundle is based on Weisman-Pei's basic tube model. In order to make it suitable for rod bundles in P...
