A set of one-dimensional unsteady homogenous models for flow and heat transfer process of a natural circulation precooling loop of a rocket engine is established to study the cool-down characteristic of the pipeline when liquid hydrogen flows in the pipeline. A transition filming boiling model is adopted to ensure the reasonable transition from dispersed filming boiling to inverted filming boiling. T
CHF
and T
L
are viewed as the onset temperature of film boiling and the temperature of critical heat flux
respectively
to achieve the continuity of heat transfer and flow regime transition in the calculation. The computing results show that the inverse temperature distribution exists at the loop along the flow direction during the precooling process. The maximum wall temperature is lo
cated at the transition from inverted flow to dispersed flow. In addition
the location of the maximum wall temperature moves downstream with time gradually.
