Title: A STUDY OF BURNOUT HEAT FLUXES ASSOCIATED WITH FORCED-CONVECTION, SUBCOOLED, AND BULK NUCLEATE BOILING OF WATER IN SOURCE-VORTEX FLOW

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4345839· OSTI ID:4345839

A study of nucleate boiling of subcooled water in forcedconvection source-vortex flow in small diameter horizontal tubes is described. A measured heat flux of ll,000,000 Btu/hr ft/sup 2/ was attained, a value 5 times greater than any previously reported for comparable conditions. (T.R.H.)
