| Abstract: | Interactions among dry patches at high heat flux are theoretically analyzed. The high heat flux boiling experiments on metal plate wall with different materials and thickness are correspondingly conducted. The duality of boiling system, i.e. hydrodynamic performance and self-organized performance is identified. A unified explanation of hydrodynamic models and dry patches models is given. The scatter and uncertainty in boiling data can be mainly attributed to the intrinsic duality, but not the sole surface effects. The present experimental results explain why the deviation point at high flux boiling is seen only on occasion and why the self-organization of dry patches is often ignored in available literature. |
