To extend the range of variables, burnout tests were made on water at 2000 psia, flowing vertically upward in 0.097 in. x 1 in. x 27 in. long rectangular stainless steel channels (nominal L/D = 153). A total of 53 burnout points were obtained covering conditions from 100% exit quality to 80 deg F exit subcooling, mass velocities from 0.1 to 4.7 x 10/sup 6/ lb/hr-ft/ and inlet water subcoolings from 36 deg to 536 deg F. Most of the points for higher heat fluxes and flow rates were obtained with the new 2500 KW power supply. This region could not previously be studied with the old power supply. (auth)
