PARTIAL FILM BOILING WITH WATER AT 2000 PSIG IN A ROUND VERTICAL TUBE. Technical Report No. 62
A study of the partial film boiling region of water at 2000 psig was made in a 1/4 in. OD vertical Inconel-X tube, 0.152 in. DI) x 12 1/2 in. long. The water parameters were: mass flow rates approximately 0.4 x 10/sup 6/ to 1.5 x 10/sup 6/ lb/hr-sq ft, at inlet enthalpies of t 125, 150, 175 -377 to 614 Btu/lb. NaK, a liquid metal, was used as the heating medium. The wall temperatures measured in the nucleate boiling region agreed within approximately fate solution a 10 F of Jens & Lottes correlation The burnout heat flux results reported agree within approximately fate solution a 25% of WAPD (Bettis Plant) correlation. The film boiling data do not appear to yield to correlation over the range investigated in this experiment. The partial film boiling coefficients found in this experiment range from approximately 100 to 10,000 Btu/hr sq ft- F. (auth)
