Abstract
The effects of an externally imposed electric field on critical heat f lux in subcooled pool boiling have been experimentally studied. The te st section was a 0.3 mm diameter platinum wire electrically heated. A coaxial cage with high voltage provided the outer electrode forming a cylindrical symmetric electric field around the heater. It was observe d that the effect of the electric field on critical heat flux decrease s as subcooling increases.
