1 Introduction

The accurate prediction of critical heat flux (CHF) in flowboiling is important in the design and safety analysis ofnuclear reactor The occurrence of CHF results in a sharpdegradation of the convective heat transfer between the fuelrod cladding and the reactor coolant which may result incladding failure

The supercritical water cooled reactor (SCWR) has highoperating pressure and temperature and during slidingpressure start-up procedure from subcritical pressure tosupercritical pressure the thermophysical properties andtransport properties of the coolant in the core would changegreatly [1] Thus the CHF prediction under high pressurecondition even close to the vicinity of the critical pressureof water is an important issue for SCWR

Although the CHF phenomenon has been extensivelyinvestigated over the last five decades knowledge of the phys-ical nature of CHF is still incomplete and the mechanisms ofboiling crisis are still not well understood

Methods for predicting CHF can be categorized as empir-ical correlations look-up tables and mechanistic modelsAccording to the statistics [2] the number of published CHFcorrelations for water-cooled round tubes has increased towell over 500 and there are also over 50CHFmodels availableBased on the difference of flow regime and heat transfercharacteristics on the occurrence of CHF the boiling crisiscan be generally divided into DNB (Departure fromNucleateBoiling) type and DO (Dry-Out) type [3]

Although there are many empirical CHF correlationsthere is no valid and accurate CHF correlation verified byexperiment database in the range from 15 MPa to the vicinity

of critical pressure in which the parametric trend of CHFvarying with pressure is also unknown

Furthermore different CHF mechanistic models usuallyare proposed for specific flow regime and one CHF modelis only effective in one flow regime resulting in a narrowprediction scope This cannot satisfy the prediction of CHFwhen different flow regimes appear successively in the samechannel

In this study based on the CHF experiment databaseof upflow boiling in vertical round tube from 15MPa to thevicinity of the critical pressure of water the prediction capa-bility and the applicability of Katto [4] Bowring [5] Hall-Mudawar [6] Alekseev [7] correlations and LUT-2006 [8]will be evaluated The parametric trend of CHF varying withpressure from 15MPa to the vicinity of critical pressurewill bediscussed Simultaneously combining the DNB and DO typeCHF mechanism a comprehensive CHF model under highpressure conditionwill be established Finally the verificationof the CHF mechanistic model based on the experimentdatabase and the parametric trends analysis of CHF varyingwith thermal-hydraulic and geometric parameters will becarried out

321 Prediction Error Analysis In evaluation of the corre-lations and LUT-2006 accuracy the Heat Balance Method(HBM) has been used The prediction errors of KattoBowring Hall-Mudawar Alekseev correlations and LUT-2006 are shown in Table 4 It demonstrates that the predictionerrors of LUT-2006 and Alekseev correlation are relativelysmaller in the high pressure region above 15MPa while theprediction errors of Katto and Bowring correlation are largerAlthough the Hall-Mudawar correlation is only applicablefor subcooled boiling its prediction error is also not largewhich belongs to the middle level between the LUT-2006 andAlekseev and Katto and Bowring correlations

The prediction errors of Katto Alekseev correlation andLUT-2006 varying with pressure are shown in Figure 1

It indicates that in the range of 19MPa to 203MPa theKatto correlation overpredicts the experimental value butwhen the pressure is higher than 203MPa the predictivevalue and the experimental value become closer

Although the RMS errors of the predictive value and theexperimental value for Alekseev correlation and LUT-2006are smaller in the range of 203MPa to 213MPa these twocorrelations underpredict the experimental values

When the pressure is higher than 213MPa to the vicinityof critical pressure the prediction capabilities of the three

correlations could not be evaluated due to the lack of CHFexperiment database

322 Parametric Trend Analysis In the vicinity of criticalpressure the physical properties and heat transfer character-istics of water have greatly changed consequently the CHFhas become more sensitive to pressure For simplicity Fig-ure 2 shows the predictive value of different CHF correlationvarying with pressure when other parametersGℎ119894119899D andL are fixed constant

Combined with the error comparison analysis in Sec-tion 321 the parametric trend of CHF in high pressureregion can be summarized as follows (identified by the reddotted line on Figure 2) in the range of 19MPa to 203MPait is close to the prediction trend of LUT-2006 when thepressure is higher than 203MPa it should be closer to theprediction trend of Katto correlation and when approachingcritical pressure the CHF quickly goes down to zero

The parameters k (= 24) and a (which depends on themass velocity) were empirically determined by fitting a largenumber of uniform heat flux experiment data Therefore thevalidity of the Weisman amp Pei model is limited by the rangesof the databases fromwhich these empirical coefficients wereobtained

In this study based on the experiment database of upflowboiling in vertical round tube under high pressure conditionthe new parameter k=18 is obtained and parameter a is asso-ciated with the velocity change and pressure effect (through120588V120588119897)

42 DO Type CHF Mechanistic Model The majority of theavailable annular flow DO models are based on that ofWhalley et al [10] which is a three-field model representingtwo-phase interactions between vapour liquid film andentrained droplets as shown in Figure 4The difference fromeach model is in the constitutive correlations representingthe mechanisms of entrainment and deposition In fact itis these correlations that distinguish one phenomenologicalDO model from another since the basic conservation equa-tions are the same for any DO model in the annular flowregime

In this study three different entrainment and depositioncorrelations of Kataoka Celata andHewitt are compared andanalyzed

The droplet deposition rate is calculated from

119863 = 119896119862 (9)

where C is the concentration of droplets in the vapour coreand k is the deposition mass transfer coefficient

5 Conclusion

In this study based on the CHF experiment database ofupflow boiling in vertical round tube from 15MPa to thevicinity of the critical pressure of water five CHF cor-relations under high pressure conditions are selected andthe prediction results have been comparatively analyzed

Simultaneously a comprehensive CHF mechanistic modelunder high pressure condition combined the DNB and DOtypeCHFhas been establishedThe verification of the presentmechanistic model based on the experiment database andthe parametric trends analysis of CHF varying with thermal-hydraulic and geometric parameters have been carried outThe conclusions can be briefly summarized as follows

(1) In the high pressure range of 15MPa to the vicinity ofcritical pressure the Alekseev correlation and LUT-2006 are recommended for their smaller predictionerror to predict CHF in round tube

of critical pressure in which the parametric trend of CHFvarying with pressure is also unknown

Furthermore different CHF mechanistic models usuallyare proposed for specific flow regime and one CHF modelis only effective in one flow regime resulting in a narrowprediction scope This cannot satisfy the prediction of CHFwhen different flow regimes appear successively in the samechannel

In this study based on the CHF experiment databaseof upflow boiling in vertical round tube from 15MPa to thevicinity of the critical pressure of water the prediction capa-bility and the applicability of Katto [4] Bowring [5] Hall-Mudawar [6] Alekseev [7] correlations and LUT-2006 [8]will be evaluated The parametric trend of CHF varying withpressure from 15MPa to the vicinity of critical pressurewill bediscussed Simultaneously combining the DNB and DO typeCHF mechanism a comprehensive CHF model under highpressure conditionwill be established Finally the verificationof the CHF mechanistic model based on the experimentdatabase and the parametric trends analysis of CHF varyingwith thermal-hydraulic and geometric parameters will becarried out

2 The Experiment Database

Based on the existing CHF database of upflow boiling verticalround tube the evaluation and screening of experimentdatabase are carried out As a result 18 different sets of CHFexperiment database were obtained from 1951 to 1999 in totalof 4355 data points are applied in this study The databasesources and distribution are shown in Table 1 among which2735 experiment data points belong to the DNB type CHFof subcooled bubbly flow and 1620 experiment data points

belong to the DO type CHF of saturated annular flow Table 2shows the experimental ranges of database

321 Prediction Error Analysis In evaluation of the corre-lations and LUT-2006 accuracy the Heat Balance Method(HBM) has been used The prediction errors of KattoBowring Hall-Mudawar Alekseev correlations and LUT-2006 are shown in Table 4 It demonstrates that the predictionerrors of LUT-2006 and Alekseev correlation are relativelysmaller in the high pressure region above 15MPa while theprediction errors of Katto and Bowring correlation are largerAlthough the Hall-Mudawar correlation is only applicablefor subcooled boiling its prediction error is also not largewhich belongs to the middle level between the LUT-2006 andAlekseev and Katto and Bowring correlations

The prediction errors of Katto Alekseev correlation andLUT-2006 varying with pressure are shown in Figure 1

It indicates that in the range of 19MPa to 203MPa theKatto correlation overpredicts the experimental value butwhen the pressure is higher than 203MPa the predictivevalue and the experimental value become closer

Although the RMS errors of the predictive value and theexperimental value for Alekseev correlation and LUT-2006are smaller in the range of 203MPa to 213MPa these twocorrelations underpredict the experimental values

When the pressure is higher than 213MPa to the vicinityof critical pressure the prediction capabilities of the three

correlations could not be evaluated due to the lack of CHFexperiment database

322 Parametric Trend Analysis In the vicinity of criticalpressure the physical properties and heat transfer character-istics of water have greatly changed consequently the CHFhas become more sensitive to pressure For simplicity Fig-ure 2 shows the predictive value of different CHF correlationvarying with pressure when other parametersGℎ119894119899D andL are fixed constant

Combined with the error comparison analysis in Sec-tion 321 the parametric trend of CHF in high pressureregion can be summarized as follows (identified by the reddotted line on Figure 2) in the range of 19MPa to 203MPait is close to the prediction trend of LUT-2006 when thepressure is higher than 203MPa it should be closer to theprediction trend of Katto correlation and when approachingcritical pressure the CHF quickly goes down to zero

The parameters k (= 24) and a (which depends on themass velocity) were empirically determined by fitting a largenumber of uniform heat flux experiment data Therefore thevalidity of the Weisman amp Pei model is limited by the rangesof the databases fromwhich these empirical coefficients wereobtained

In this study based on the experiment database of upflowboiling in vertical round tube under high pressure conditionthe new parameter k=18 is obtained and parameter a is asso-ciated with the velocity change and pressure effect (through120588V120588119897)

42 DO Type CHF Mechanistic Model The majority of theavailable annular flow DO models are based on that ofWhalley et al [10] which is a three-field model representingtwo-phase interactions between vapour liquid film andentrained droplets as shown in Figure 4The difference fromeach model is in the constitutive correlations representingthe mechanisms of entrainment and deposition In fact itis these correlations that distinguish one phenomenologicalDO model from another since the basic conservation equa-tions are the same for any DO model in the annular flowregime

In this study three different entrainment and depositioncorrelations of Kataoka Celata andHewitt are compared andanalyzed

The droplet deposition rate is calculated from

119863 = 119896119862 (9)

where C is the concentration of droplets in the vapour coreand k is the deposition mass transfer coefficient

(2) Celata Correlation In developing of Celata et alrsquos [14] DOtypeCHFmodel liquid film flow rate is obtained by a balanceof liquid entrainment and droplet deposition

The droplets entrainment rate is calculated considering thecontribution of two different mechanisms of droplets forma-tion breakup of disturbance waves (119864119908) and boiling in theliquid film (119864119861) 119864 = 119864119908 + 119864119861 (12)

321 Prediction Error Analysis In evaluation of the corre-lations and LUT-2006 accuracy the Heat Balance Method(HBM) has been used The prediction errors of KattoBowring Hall-Mudawar Alekseev correlations and LUT-2006 are shown in Table 4 It demonstrates that the predictionerrors of LUT-2006 and Alekseev correlation are relativelysmaller in the high pressure region above 15MPa while theprediction errors of Katto and Bowring correlation are largerAlthough the Hall-Mudawar correlation is only applicablefor subcooled boiling its prediction error is also not largewhich belongs to the middle level between the LUT-2006 andAlekseev and Katto and Bowring correlations

The prediction errors of Katto Alekseev correlation andLUT-2006 varying with pressure are shown in Figure 1

It indicates that in the range of 19MPa to 203MPa theKatto correlation overpredicts the experimental value butwhen the pressure is higher than 203MPa the predictivevalue and the experimental value become closer

Although the RMS errors of the predictive value and theexperimental value for Alekseev correlation and LUT-2006are smaller in the range of 203MPa to 213MPa these twocorrelations underpredict the experimental values

When the pressure is higher than 213MPa to the vicinityof critical pressure the prediction capabilities of the three

correlations could not be evaluated due to the lack of CHFexperiment database

322 Parametric Trend Analysis In the vicinity of criticalpressure the physical properties and heat transfer character-istics of water have greatly changed consequently the CHFhas become more sensitive to pressure For simplicity Fig-ure 2 shows the predictive value of different CHF correlationvarying with pressure when other parametersGℎ119894119899D andL are fixed constant

Combined with the error comparison analysis in Sec-tion 321 the parametric trend of CHF in high pressureregion can be summarized as follows (identified by the reddotted line on Figure 2) in the range of 19MPa to 203MPait is close to the prediction trend of LUT-2006 when thepressure is higher than 203MPa it should be closer to theprediction trend of Katto correlation and when approachingcritical pressure the CHF quickly goes down to zero

The parameters k (= 24) and a (which depends on themass velocity) were empirically determined by fitting a largenumber of uniform heat flux experiment data Therefore thevalidity of the Weisman amp Pei model is limited by the rangesof the databases fromwhich these empirical coefficients wereobtained

In this study based on the experiment database of upflowboiling in vertical round tube under high pressure conditionthe new parameter k=18 is obtained and parameter a is asso-ciated with the velocity change and pressure effect (through120588V120588119897)

42 DO Type CHF Mechanistic Model The majority of theavailable annular flow DO models are based on that ofWhalley et al [10] which is a three-field model representingtwo-phase interactions between vapour liquid film andentrained droplets as shown in Figure 4The difference fromeach model is in the constitutive correlations representingthe mechanisms of entrainment and deposition In fact itis these correlations that distinguish one phenomenologicalDO model from another since the basic conservation equa-tions are the same for any DO model in the annular flowregime

In this study three different entrainment and depositioncorrelations of Kataoka Celata andHewitt are compared andanalyzed

The droplet deposition rate is calculated from

119863 = 119896119862 (9)

where C is the concentration of droplets in the vapour coreand k is the deposition mass transfer coefficient

The droplets entrainment rate is calculated considering thecontribution of two different mechanisms of droplets forma-tion breakup of disturbance waves (119864119908) and boiling in theliquid film (119864119861) 119864 = 119864119908 + 119864119861 (12)

The parameters k (= 24) and a (which depends on themass velocity) were empirically determined by fitting a largenumber of uniform heat flux experiment data Therefore thevalidity of the Weisman amp Pei model is limited by the rangesof the databases fromwhich these empirical coefficients wereobtained

In this study based on the experiment database of upflowboiling in vertical round tube under high pressure conditionthe new parameter k=18 is obtained and parameter a is asso-ciated with the velocity change and pressure effect (through120588V120588119897)

42 DO Type CHF Mechanistic Model The majority of theavailable annular flow DO models are based on that ofWhalley et al [10] which is a three-field model representingtwo-phase interactions between vapour liquid film andentrained droplets as shown in Figure 4The difference fromeach model is in the constitutive correlations representingthe mechanisms of entrainment and deposition In fact itis these correlations that distinguish one phenomenologicalDO model from another since the basic conservation equa-tions are the same for any DO model in the annular flowregime

In this study three different entrainment and depositioncorrelations of Kataoka Celata andHewitt are compared andanalyzed

The droplet deposition rate is calculated from

119863 = 119896119862 (9)

where C is the concentration of droplets in the vapour coreand k is the deposition mass transfer coefficient

(2) Celata Correlation In developing of Celata et alrsquos [14] DOtypeCHFmodel liquid film flow rate is obtained by a balanceof liquid entrainment and droplet deposition

The droplets deposition rate is calculated with the equa-tion given by Kataoka amp Ishii [15]

The droplets entrainment rate is calculated considering thecontribution of two different mechanisms of droplets forma-tion breakup of disturbance waves (119864119908) and boiling in theliquid film (119864119861) 119864 = 119864119908 + 119864119861 (12)

(3) Hewitt Correlation Hewitt et al [16] derived improvedmodels for deposition and entrainment in annular flowThe new models successfully predicted a wide range ofequilibrium and non-equilibrium data

The comparison of predicted CHF and measured CHF isshown in Figure 6

Figure 7 shows the prediction results of the presentmechanistic model Katto correlation and LUT-2006 Itindicates that the present mechanistic model is more accuratethan the other two predictions especially when pressure ishigher than 19MPa

442 Continuity of the Developed Model The significantcharacteristic of the present mechanistic model is that for acertain flow regime it can automatically judge and select theparticular model to calculate the CHF value

Figures 8 and 9 show the continuous variation of DNBand DO type CHF predicted by the present mechanisticmodel with mass velocity and inlet subcooled enthalpyrespectively It indicates that the DO type CHF occurs atlow mass velocity and low inlet subcooled enthalpy With

the increase of mass velocity and inlet subcooled enthalpythe DNB type CHF occurs In this study the DNB and DOtype CHF can be smoothly joined together with the presentmechanistic model

443 Parametric Trend Analysis The parametric trends ofthe CHF vary according to the thermal-hydraulics conditionsdetermined by the combination of the various ranges of pres-sure mass velocity inlet subcooled enthalpy and geometricparameters

Figure 3 Schematic diagram of Weisman amp Pei model

The parameters k (= 24) and a (which depends on themass velocity) were empirically determined by fitting a largenumber of uniform heat flux experiment data Therefore thevalidity of the Weisman amp Pei model is limited by the rangesof the databases fromwhich these empirical coefficients wereobtained

In this study based on the experiment database of upflowboiling in vertical round tube under high pressure conditionthe new parameter k=18 is obtained and parameter a is asso-ciated with the velocity change and pressure effect (through120588V120588119897)

42 DO Type CHF Mechanistic Model The majority of theavailable annular flow DO models are based on that ofWhalley et al [10] which is a three-field model representingtwo-phase interactions between vapour liquid film andentrained droplets as shown in Figure 4The difference fromeach model is in the constitutive correlations representingthe mechanisms of entrainment and deposition In fact itis these correlations that distinguish one phenomenologicalDO model from another since the basic conservation equa-tions are the same for any DO model in the annular flowregime

In this study three different entrainment and depositioncorrelations of Kataoka Celata andHewitt are compared andanalyzed

The droplet deposition rate is calculated from

119863 = 119896119862 (9)

where C is the concentration of droplets in the vapour coreand k is the deposition mass transfer coefficient

The entrainment fraction is calculated by Ishiiamp Mishima [13]correlation which was developed based on the mechanisticmodel of shearing-off of roll wave crest by a streaming gas

(2) Celata Correlation In developing of Celata et alrsquos [14] DOtypeCHFmodel liquid film flow rate is obtained by a balanceof liquid entrainment and droplet deposition

The droplets deposition rate is calculated with the equa-tion given by Kataoka amp Ishii [15]

The droplets entrainment rate is calculated considering thecontribution of two different mechanisms of droplets forma-tion breakup of disturbance waves (119864119908) and boiling in theliquid film (119864119861) 119864 = 119864119908 + 119864119861 (12)

(3) Hewitt Correlation Hewitt et al [16] derived improvedmodels for deposition and entrainment in annular flowThe new models successfully predicted a wide range ofequilibrium and non-equilibrium data

The correlation for the deposition rate coefficient is asfollows

The comparison of predicted CHF and measured CHF isshown in Figure 6

Figure 7 shows the prediction results of the presentmechanistic model Katto correlation and LUT-2006 Itindicates that the present mechanistic model is more accuratethan the other two predictions especially when pressure ishigher than 19MPa

442 Continuity of the Developed Model The significantcharacteristic of the present mechanistic model is that for acertain flow regime it can automatically judge and select theparticular model to calculate the CHF value

Figures 8 and 9 show the continuous variation of DNBand DO type CHF predicted by the present mechanisticmodel with mass velocity and inlet subcooled enthalpyrespectively It indicates that the DO type CHF occurs atlow mass velocity and low inlet subcooled enthalpy With

the increase of mass velocity and inlet subcooled enthalpythe DNB type CHF occurs In this study the DNB and DOtype CHF can be smoothly joined together with the presentmechanistic model

443 Parametric Trend Analysis The parametric trends ofthe CHF vary according to the thermal-hydraulics conditionsdetermined by the combination of the various ranges of pres-sure mass velocity inlet subcooled enthalpy and geometricparameters

The comparison of predicted CHF and measured CHF isshown in Figure 6

Figure 7 shows the prediction results of the presentmechanistic model Katto correlation and LUT-2006 Itindicates that the present mechanistic model is more accuratethan the other two predictions especially when pressure ishigher than 19MPa

442 Continuity of the Developed Model The significantcharacteristic of the present mechanistic model is that for acertain flow regime it can automatically judge and select theparticular model to calculate the CHF value

Figures 8 and 9 show the continuous variation of DNBand DO type CHF predicted by the present mechanisticmodel with mass velocity and inlet subcooled enthalpyrespectively It indicates that the DO type CHF occurs atlow mass velocity and low inlet subcooled enthalpy With

the increase of mass velocity and inlet subcooled enthalpythe DNB type CHF occurs In this study the DNB and DOtype CHF can be smoothly joined together with the presentmechanistic model

443 Parametric Trend Analysis The parametric trends ofthe CHF vary according to the thermal-hydraulics conditionsdetermined by the combination of the various ranges of pres-sure mass velocity inlet subcooled enthalpy and geometricparameters

In this study based on the CHF experiment database ofupflow boiling in vertical round tube from 15MPa to thevicinity of the critical pressure of water five CHF cor-relations under high pressure conditions are selected andthe prediction results have been comparatively analyzed

Simultaneously a comprehensive CHF mechanistic modelunder high pressure condition combined the DNB and DOtypeCHFhas been establishedThe verification of the presentmechanistic model based on the experiment database andthe parametric trends analysis of CHF varying with thermal-hydraulic and geometric parameters have been carried outThe conclusions can be briefly summarized as follows

(1) In the high pressure range of 15MPa to the vicinity ofcritical pressure the Alekseev correlation and LUT-2006 are recommended for their smaller predictionerror to predict CHF in round tube

5 Conclusion

In this study based on the CHF experiment database ofupflow boiling in vertical round tube from 15MPa to thevicinity of the critical pressure of water five CHF cor-relations under high pressure conditions are selected andthe prediction results have been comparatively analyzed

Simultaneously a comprehensive CHF mechanistic modelunder high pressure condition combined the DNB and DOtypeCHFhas been establishedThe verification of the presentmechanistic model based on the experiment database andthe parametric trends analysis of CHF varying with thermal-hydraulic and geometric parameters have been carried outThe conclusions can be briefly summarized as follows

(1) In the high pressure range of 15MPa to the vicinity ofcritical pressure the Alekseev correlation and LUT-2006 are recommended for their smaller predictionerror to predict CHF in round tube

(2) The parametric trend of CHF varying with pressurein the range from 15 MPa to the vicinity of criti-cal pressure is obtained In the transition point of203MPa the CHF parametric trend varies from theLUT-2006 curve to the Katto correlation curve andwhen approaching critical pressure the CHF quicklygoes down to zero

(3) The present mechanistic model is applicable for theCHF prediction of upflow boiling in vertical roundtube under high pressure conditions and the fraction

of error within plusmn20 is 960 of total data points Forthe DO type CHF prediction the prediction resultsof Kataoka correlation are more accurate than Celataand Hewitt methods and the whole RMS is 99

(4) For a specific flow regime the present mechanisticmodel can automatically judge and select the partic-ular model to calculate the CHF value which cansmoothly join the DNB and DO type CHF

(5) The parametric trends of predicted CHF varyingwith thermal-hydraulic and geometric parameters are

Figure 10 CHF as a function of pressure (G=1000kgm2s)

(2) The parametric trend of CHF varying with pressurein the range from 15 MPa to the vicinity of criti-cal pressure is obtained In the transition point of203MPa the CHF parametric trend varies from theLUT-2006 curve to the Katto correlation curve andwhen approaching critical pressure the CHF quicklygoes down to zero

(3) The present mechanistic model is applicable for theCHF prediction of upflow boiling in vertical roundtube under high pressure conditions and the fraction

of error within plusmn20 is 960 of total data points Forthe DO type CHF prediction the prediction resultsof Kataoka correlation are more accurate than Celataand Hewitt methods and the whole RMS is 99

(4) For a specific flow regime the present mechanisticmodel can automatically judge and select the partic-ular model to calculate the CHF value which cansmoothly join the DNB and DO type CHF

(5) The parametric trends of predicted CHF varyingwith thermal-hydraulic and geometric parameters are
