Abstract
Fuel sheath temperatures in water-cooled nuclear reactors are usually near the saturation temperature of water. However, during an accidental increase in power, or a decrease in flow and pressure, deterioration in heat transfer is possible. It occurs when the surface temperature increases to such a high level that the heated surface can no longer support continuous liquid contact. This phenomenon is usually referred to as the boiling crisis (or dryout) and the corresponding heat flux as the critical heat flux (or CHF). The boiling crisis is characterized by either a sudden rise in surface temperature, caused by the heated surface being covered by a stable vapor film (film boiling), or by small surface temperature spikes, corresponding to the appearance and disappearance of dry patches (transition boiling).
