An experimental investigation of flow transient critical heat flux (CHF) for water at pressures 6.9 and 15.5 MPa is conducted under the simulation of both Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) and Pressurized Water Re-actor (PWR) conditions. The influence of flow decay rates on local mass velocity and quality at CHF is explored to ensure the adequacy of local-condition approach in the CHF predictions. The assessment of transient upstream correction factor to modify the predictions of steady-state CHF correlations during the BWR flow transients are presented. A mechanistic CHF model based on the dryout of a sublayer and CHF correlations are evaluated in the predictions of PWR flow transient CHF.
