In earlier work, we proposed a hypothesis for the occurrence of critical heat flux (CHF) during pool boiling of saturated liquids. According to this gypothesis, CHF occurs when some portion of the heater surface drives and a local point with this dry patch reaches a critical rewetting temperature, beyond which liquid an no longer contact that point. In this paper, the effects of dry-patch shape and multiple-patch interactions on the critical rewetting temperature have been investigated.
