Subcooled flow boiling

In this study, the two-phase pressure drop in a one-sided high-heat-loaded screw tube was analyzed under subcooled flow boiling conditions. When the loaded heat flux is gradually increased under one-sided heating conditions, although the pressure drop changes slightly in the single phase, it starts to increase when loading above the onset of significant void (OSV) heat flux. The effect of system parameters on the two-phase pressure drop in relation to the change of heat transfer mechanism or fluid properties was analyzed according to each variable change.
