Results are presented from an experimental study of the stability of drop boiling in forced flow in channels. It is shown that the transition from one- to two-phase flow for the steady-state regime consists of the generation of vapor bubbles with the occurrence of plug flow. It was hypothesized and confirmed experimentally that a heat-transfer crisis of the second type may develop in a once-through steam boiler, along with a crisis of the first type. {copyright} 1989 Plenum Publishing Corporation
