Abstract— In present study, the experiments are carried on sample of
different surface roughness to investigate the transient heat transfer
phenomenon at the saturated condition of the distilled water. The surface
roughness (Ra) ranges from 0.106 μm to 4.03 μm. The boiling crisis is
observed during each transient heat supply. The high-speed camera of
1000 fps is used to observe the stages of boiling during different transient
and to confirm the moment of critical heat flux (CHF). The empirical
relation is presented for transient CHF and corresponding heat transfer
coefficient (HTC). It is found that transient CHF is a function of both Ra
and γ. The hydrodynamic model is developed for prediction of CHF at
different rate of exponential heat supply for the wide range of Ra by
incorporating γ.
I. INTRODUCTION
The knowledge of boiling crisis in the nuclear reactors
during exponential heat supply is important for the safety
and efficient performance. The moment of critical heat
flux (CHF) after which sharp reduction in heat transfer
coefficient (HTC) is observed may lead to the rapid surge
in the core temperature. Thus the formation of vapor
blanket at CHF may lead to core meltdown accident.
Hence understanding of the mechanism of transient CHF
during exponential power escalation is of paramount
importance. Researchers have contributed to explaining
the CHF mechanisms by various approach viz. (i) Kelvin–
Helmholtz instability between the upward flow vapor
columns and downward flow liquid, (ii) dry-out of the
liquid layer i.e. micro/macrolayer dry-out. Kutateladze [1]
and Zuber [2] considered the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability
as surface-fluid interaction fails due to relative motion
between vapor column and surrounding liquid. Chang [3]
considered the forces acting on the bubble during lift off
from the horizontal surface and claimed that the critical
velocity of the upward moving bubble is responsible for
CHF. Haramura and Katto [4] stated near field evaporation
phenomena through the macrolayer evaporation model and
estimated CHF at the dry-out condition of macrolayer.

developed the theoretical model based on microlayer
