A REVIEW AND ASSESSMENT OF BOILING HEAT TRANSFER AND THE DEPARTURE FROM NUCLEATE BOILING

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4298024
A review and assessment of current status of boiling heat transfer and DNB (departure from nucleate boiling, formerly burnout) covering theorles, procedures, and existing correlations were made. Discussion of the basic theories of nucleation and DNB, the factors which influence boiling, an evaluation of the experimental procedures and a comparison of the correlations presently being used in the field of nuclear reactor and power plant design are included. A table of previous boiling heat transfer and DNB data is included in the appendix. (auth)
