The study of post-dryout heat transfer has generated great interest because of its importance in determining maximum clad temperature in nuclear reactor loss-of-coolant accidents (LOCAs). An associated phenomenon the deterioration of heat transfer in boiling is significant to other industrial sectors. This book provides comprehensive coverage of post-dryout heat transfer discussing such essential topics as post-dryout heat transfer in dispersed flow interpretation and use of transient data in surface rewetting by reinstatement of flow or by reducing heat flux rod bundles two-phase flow occurrences in the post-dryout region various methods for predicting inverted annular flow and new experiments for measuring thermodynamic nonequilibrium with probes in the channel. The book also presents a basis for independent safety assessment of nuclear reactors and chemical plant systems where post-dryout heat transfer may occur. Post-Dryout Heat Transfer will be a useful reference for researchers and professionals in the nuclear and chemical production industries. Language: English
