In this study, the macrolayer formation model is proposed to predict the critical heat flux in the saturated and subcooled pool boiling based on the macrolayer dryout model. This model concept is based on the results of the previous experiments. In the model, the nucleation site is assumed to distribute based on the Poisson distribution. Combining the proposed macrolayer formation model and macrolayer dryout model, the CHFs up to subcooling 40K were predicted and they are successfully good agreement with the experimental data. Moreover, the concept of the model was confirmed by the numerical simulation using the TPFIT.

A macrolayer formation model for saturated and subcooled pool boiling is proposed, which is developed based on the visual observation of boiling behavior. The distribution of nucleation sites is assumed to distribute based on Poisson distribution. The predicted macrolayer thicknesses are used for the prediction of CHFs in saturated and subcooled pool boiling based on the macrolayer dryout model. The combination of the macrolayer dryout model and macrolayer formation model is able to predict the CHF well at least up to subcooling 40K.
