What Does CHF Stand For?
CHF stands for Critical Heat Flux
CHF, or Critical Heat Flux, refers to the maximum heat flux at which a coolant can efficiently remove heat from a surface without experiencing a transition to a vapor phase, leading to a significant reduction in cooling effectiveness. Understanding CHF is essential in fields such as nuclear engineering, heat exchangers, and thermal management systems, as it helps optimize cooling processes and prevent overheating in various applications.
