Site SeeingLargest Critical Heat Flux Database Ever: Professor Issam Mudawar and his students at Purdue University have created a database containing critical heat flux data compiled from world literature dating back to 1949. The Purdue University Boiling and Two-Phase Flow Laboratory Critical Heat Flux Database represents the largest CHF database ever assembled, with 32,544 data points from over 100 sources. It also contains an assessment of the world's 12 prior databases. Professor Mudawar's group has also added new information from their own research, attaining the highest CHF ever recorded for water in uniformly heated channels -- over 27,000 watts per square centimeter. The new database is available as a three-volume book series and on CD-ROM. To order the books and/or the CD-ROM, contact Professor Mudawar at Purdue University, (765) 494-5705; Fax: (765) 494-0539; e-mail: mudawar@ecn.purdue.edu; or mail your request to Purdue University, Electronic Cooling Research Center and Boiling and Two-Phase Flow Laboratory, 1288 Mechanical Engineering, West Lafayette, IN 47907-1288.
