Abstract

This paper presents a stochastic simulation of boiling on a two-dimensional matrix, considering the interference of nearby bubbles and the lateral heat conduction within the heating element. Some salient dynamic features for boiling burnout have been properly reproduced. The effective critical heat flux (CHF) is shown to be at the minimum of the hydrodynamic instability induced CHF and the local dryout-propagation burnout. The stable and metastable regimes of nucleate boiling mode are identified as well.
