Critical Heat Flux Apparatus

Critical Heat Flux Apparatus

The Critical Heat Flux Apparatus is developed to study the maximum heat flux during boiling before transition to film boiling occurs. It includes a heating element, thermocouples, digital temperature indicator, and power-control system. Students can plot boiling curves and identify the point of critical heat flux for various fluids. This experiment strengthens understanding of two-phase heat transfer, fluid dynamics, and energy efficiency. Suitable for engineering colleges, polytechnic institutes, and ITIs, the equipment is durable, user-friendly, and provides accurate performance data for boiling studies.
