Effect of finned structure on critical heat flux (CHF) in downward-face pool boiling

Critical heat flux (CHF) plays an important role as the upper limit of heat dissipation process during the in-vessel reactor external reactor vessel cooling (IVR-ERVC). IVR-ERVC is regarded as a very effective way to release the decay heat after the core melt. This severe accident mitigation counter...

description Critical heat flux (CHF) plays an important role as the upper limit of heat dissipation process during the in-vessel reactor external reactor vessel cooling (IVR-ERVC).
