Abstract

A review of the data on boiling of a liquid at a temperature below the saturation temperature (subcooled liquid) and on the process enabling the removal of extremely high heat fluxes is presented. The review consists of two parts. The first part describes the characteristics of the process under consideration, its phenomenological models, and the results of analysis of heat transfer and hydraulic resistance. The second part will be devoted to the analysis of studies of critical heat fluxes and heat transfer enhancement. Specific features of the process mechanism are considered, such as chaotic spatial distribution and deactivation of nucleation sites during bubble collapse and absence of a vapor phase in the flow core. The data on the characteristic sizes of bubbles and their lifetimes are given, and the evolution of the bubble shape in time is described. The Snyder‒Bergles phenomenological model corresponds to the observed subcooled liquid boiling pattern best of all and offers the most plausible description of the process. It is noted that, with a decrease in the subcooling, the subcooled liquid boiling gradually loses its specific features and takes on properties typical for saturated liquid boiling. The fully developed subcooled liquid boiling is a local phenomenon whose characteristics are controlled by local process conditions (local conditions hypothesis). It is reasonable to represent the subcooled boiling heat transfer as the sum of the convective component and the boiling component q_boil with the heat-transfer coefficient being fit quite well by a power-law dependence on q_boil with an exponent of n = 0.65–0.70. The hydraulic resistance in the flow of a boiling subcooled liquid is close to the resistance in a nonboiling liquid flow with the same mass flowrate.
