Boiling heat transfer in porous media with/without chimneys

To evaluate the effects of porous deposits over a heating surface on the boiling heat transfer in light water nuclear power reactors, a detailed numerical modeling and evaluation study was conducted. The processes of boiling heat transfer in the porous corrosion deposits deal with two-phase flows with phase changes in heterogeneous porous media. This analysis further requires a basic understanding of boiling heat transfer in homogeneous porous media. Therefore, two-phase flows with phase changes in porous media without chimneys (homogeneous porous media) and with chimneys (porous corrosion deposits) were considered in this study.
