Consider the case of liquid flow in a uniformly heated channel. Initially, heat flux is so low that it only increases the liquid sensible heat. We then start to increase heat flux until water starts to boil. We keep increasing heat flux until eventually we attain a specific value for heat flux at which the tube first experiences CHF. Under this condition at what point does CHF first occur?
