Abstract

This paper deals with a numerical solution of the two-dimensional quasi-static conduction equation, governing conduction controlled rewetting of an infinitely long slab with one side flooded and the other side subjected to a constant heat flux. The solution gives the quench front temperature as a function of various model parameters such as Peclet number, Biot number, and dimensionless boundary heat flux. Also, the critical boundary heat flux is obtained by setting the Peclet number equal to zero, which gives the minimum heat flux required to prevent the hot surface being rewetted.
