Prediction of Very High Critical Heat Flux for Subcooled Flow Boiling in a Vertical Round Tube

A critical heat flux (CHF) prediction method using an artificial neural network (ANN) was evaluated for application to the high-heat-flux (HHF) subcooled flow boiling. The developed ANN predictions were compared with the experimental database consisting of a total of 3069 CHF data points. Also, the prediction performance by the ANN was compared with those by mechanistic models and a look up table technique. The parameter ranges of the experimental data are: $0.33{\leq}D{\leq}37.5mm$, $0.002{\leq}L{\leq}4m$, $0.37{\leq}G{\leq}134Mg/m^2s$, $0.1{\leq}P{\leq}20MPa$, $50\leq{\Delta}h_{sub,in}\leq1660kJ/kg$, and $1.1{\leq}q_{CHF}\leq276MW/m^2$. $276MW/m^2$. It was found that 91.5% of the total data points were predicted within $a{\pm}20%$ error band, which showed the best prediction performance among the existing CHF prediction methods considered.
