Abstract

Several studies have been performed to make clear the transient boiling heat transfer during the exponential heat generation which is occurred in reactivity accident of a nuclear reactor. These researches have been focused on the mechanism of the phenomena mainly, not on the enhancement of the transient boiling heat transfer. In a previous study, we proposed a method of CHF enhancement under steady- state conditions using honeycomb porous plate. The CHF was shown experimentally to be enhanced to more than twice that of a plain surface using honeycomb porous plate. The enhancement is considered to result from the capillary supply of liquid onto the heated surface and the release of generated vapor through the channels. In the present paper, enhancement of the transient critical heat flux in pool boiling by the attachment of a honeycomb-structured porous plate on a heated wire is investigated experimentally using water under saturated boiling conditions.
