Abstract
A general model for the description of transient boiling of uncovered volume-heated liquid pools is presented, from which is derived conservation, characteristic, and discontinuity propagation equations. Solutions are obtained along with their prerequisites for the problem of simple unconfined boilup without foaming, in which vapor void fraction continuity is maintained everywhere below the pool surface. Representative results are displayed graphically, including the variation of vapor void fraction with time at a given pool height, the instantaneous and final steady state pool heights, and the time required to achieve steady state. The physical implications of the model are examined.
