Direct Measurement of Boiling Water Heat Flux for Predicting and Controlling Near Critical Heat Flux

A novel method for measuring heat flux of boiling water is designed and built to study critical heat flux (CHF) and observe the response of a heat flux sensor when CHF occurs. A high temperature heat flux sensor is embedded in the wall of a pipe to get a direct measurement of the surface heat flux a...
