Abstract
This paper examines three phenomenological questions pertinent to our understanding of post-critical-flux heat transfer. First, the existence and parametric trends of thermodynamic nonequilibrium (vapor superheat) is assessed in view of new experimental data. Second, the propriety of inferring vapor temperatures using vapor-heat-transfer correlations is evaluated in terms of thermodynamic limits. Third, the possibility of transient liquid contact on superheated walls is examined.
