A mechanistic model for wall heat flux partitioning during subcooled flow boiling proposed in Part 1 of this two-park paper, is validated in this part. As the first step of the validation process, the developed model was applied to experimental data obtained as part of this study. Comparison of the model predictions with the present data shows good agreement. In order to further validate/exercise the model, it was then applied to several data sets available in the literature. Though the data in the literature were for experimental conditions vastly different from those from which the model was originally developed, reasonable agreement between the model predictions and the experimental data were observed This indicates that the proposed model can be extended to other flow conditions provided the submodels cover the conditions of the experiments. Future work should be directed towards improvement of the various submodels involved to extend their range of applicability, especially the ones related to bubble dynamics. Additionally, it must be kept in mind that the model as proposed is strictly only applicable to vertical up-flow and may not be applicable to other orientations.
