Results of the KAPL DIG investigation of burnout with water flowing upward in rectangular channels at 2000 psia are presented. Interim equations to predict burnout in these channels are presented, and it is recommended that a physical model of burnout should be made available to contrast with present correlations. The evaluation procedure for WAPD-TN-188 was set up and all 2000 psi rectangular upflow data complled, along with the standard error of estimating the WAPDTH-188 model. A survey of the data and literature on statistical analysis of burnout with water flowing in rectangular channels at 2000 psia was made, and an outline of a proposed extension of the present analysis is presented, suggesting a method of simplification of calculations to cut down machine time.
