HEAT FLUX AT BURNOUT

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4262779
BS> The heat flux that causes burnout of electrically heated surfaces that are water-cooled by forced convection was determined for both annular and rectangular coolant passages. The data are correlated by (Q/A/sub Burnout/ = 266,000 (1 + 0.0365V)(1 + 0.00914T/sub s/) (1 + O.O131P), where Q/A is the heat flux in pcu/(hr) (ft/sup2/), V is the water velocity in ft/sec, T/sub 2/ is the subcooling in degrees C, and P is the pressure in psia. Surface curvature, equivalent diameter, and material of heated surface are shown to have a negligible effect on the heat flux at burnout for the ranges studied. (auth)
