  • The initial conditions such as the film thickness and the void fraction at the onset of annular flow are required for the analytical dryout model. The Disturbance Wave Instability model(DWI model) is one of the model describing the Annular-to-Intermittent Flow regime Transition(AIFT). The experimental CHF conditions for the uniformly heated tube were compared with the predictions by the modified Levy model, for which the initial conditions at AIFT were estimated by the DWI model. For the flow through long tubes with small inlet subcooling, the effect of AIFT model on the dryout prediction was little. However, the use of DWI model gave better prediction of CHF in a short tube.
