From 4th international seminar on heat and mass transfer in liquid metals; Trojir, Yugoslavia (6 Sep 1971). See CONFThe hydrodynamic and boiling behavior of pure mercury in a vertical tube at low exit pressures was investigated. Stable and unstable operating modes were found. At the tube exit, maximum mass flow rate was always established. Heat transfer rates in the non- wetting system are in the range of the values obtained for mercury vapor cooling by forced convection. Visualization of the boiling zone and mercury two-phase flow was obtained by x-ray photography. Any similarity to well-known flow patterns was not found. (auth)
