Abstract Chilldown or quenching is a complicated process that initiates the cryogenic fluid line transport, and it involves unsteady two-phase heat and mass
transfer. To advance our understanding of this process, we have reviewed recent experimental investigations. The chilldown process can be generally
divided into three regimes: film boiling, transition boiling and nucleate boiling, and each regime is associated with a different flow pattern and heat
transfer mechanism. Under low flow rate conditions, it is concluded that the two-phase flow regime is dispersed flow in the film boiling regime. The
dispersed liquid phase is in the form of long filaments as… More >
