Step | Phenomena | Induced events | Confrontive power sources |
1. | low-temperature-heat transfer to underlying NOVEC | NOVEC vaporization (pressurization) | static pressure fluctuations |
2. | surfacing NOVEC vapor bubbles through underlying NOVEC and upper-layered water | vigorous/fluctuating flows of water and NOVEC | momentum flux |
kinetic pressure fluctuations | |||
3. | heat exchange between NOVEC vapor and water |
| static pressure fluctuations |
4. | precipitating NOVEC droplets through water layer to underlying NOVEC | NOVEC condensation (depressurization) | momentum flux |
kinetic pressure fluctuations | |||
5. | entropy discharge outside by heat exchange between water and coolant |
