Of course not, but with nucleate boiling it does occur.


Aaaaand nucleate boiling occurs at lower flow rates because of increased coolant temperature rise, which decreases heat transfer coefficient.

From the EMP Stewart link: “Higher coolant flow will ALWAYS result in higher heat transfer. Coolant cannot absorb heat after it reaches it's pressure corrected vapor point. Furthermore, coolant absorbs heat at a progressively slower rate as it approaches this point.”

Thanks for proving my point, my work here is done.
