Critical Heat Flux Apparatus MICROTECH apparatus consists of a nichrome wire immersed in water. The nichrome wire is heated by passing current through it. Input to nichrome wire is controlled by a dimmer stat. As one goes on increasing wire input current increases and at critical heat flux the wire brakes, which is measured on the meter. A magnifying glass & a lamp is provided to visualize natural convection and pool boiling also.
