Abstract
Experimental and theoretical studies were carried out on the natural convective boiling heat transfer and critical heat flux (CHF) in uniformly heated vertical annular tubes filled with a porous medium and submerged in saturated water and R11 liquid. The heat transfer experimental results were compared with the case without a porous medium. It was shown that heat transfer is greatly enhanced by the porous medium in the region of low heat flux. By adopting a simple mixing flow model, a generalized approximate relationship was derived for predicting the CHF. The prediction agrees relatively well with the CHF experimental data. © 2000 Scripta Technica, Heat Trans Asian Res, 29(6): 447–458, 2000
