Demonstrate that the peak critical heat flux occurs at


It has been demonstrated experimentally that the critical heat flux is highly dependent on pressure, primarily through the pressure dependence of the fluid surface tension and latent heat of vaporization. Using Equation 10.6, calculate values of q"max for water on a large horizontal surface as a function of pressure. Demonstrate that the peak critical heat flux occurs at approximately one-third the critical pressure (Pc = 221 bars). Since all common fluids have this characteristic, suggest what coordinates should be used to plot critical heat flux-pressure values to obtain a universal curve.
