From 4th international seminar on heat and mass transfer in liquid metals; Trojir, Yugoslavia (6 Sep 1971). See CONF-710942-. Consequences of critical flows occurring in a flashing facility and in a forced-convection- boiling loop are presented. A method is derived to determine if critical conditions are reached at the exit of a boiling test section in a forced- convection loop. The method has been tested on a boiling-sodium loop and critical flow rates data are presented. (auth)
