Equilibrium heat flux, qc, which refers to as an index for measuring the relative stability of boiling, was obtained at a liquid subcooling of 0-20 K. Experimental results reveal that (1) qc increases with liquid subcooling; (2) although the FC-72 exhibits a higher critical heat flux (CHF) than does the HFE-7100, somewhat unexpectedly, the equilibrium heat flux for the latter is greater than the former. Restated, at a prescribed heat flux, the risk to burnout for boiling of FC-72 is higher than that of HFE-7100. The shift in boiling curves interprets the experimental findings.
