Abstract
This paper presents a brief summary of CHF data acquired from an experimental facility at the University of Wisconsin-Madison designed and built to study CHF at high pressure and low mass flux ranges in a 2Â ÃÂ 2 chopped cosine rod bundle prototypical of conceptual SMR designs. The experimental CHF test inlet conditions range from pressures of 8-16Â MPa, mass fluxes of 500-1600Â kg/m2Â s, and inlet water subcooling from 250 to 650Â kJ/kg. The experimental data is also compared against several accepted prediction methods whose application ranges are most similar to the test conditions.
