Forced-convection heat transfer from an electrically heated Chromax wire oriented normal to a subcooled water flow was experimentally investigated with and without change of phase. Experiments were carried out up to the limit of burnout, and photographic observations were also made. The variables employed in this study range were the velocity from 1 to 6.8 ft/sec, subcooling in the range 140 to B0 deg F, and heat flux density up to 3.5 x 10/sup 6/ Btu/hr ft/. Pressures at the test section ranged from 15 to 30 psia. The results and conclusions are discussed. (auth)
