ADDITIONAL DATA FROM SODIUM POOL BOILING EXPERIMENTS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4712554
The results of Na pool boiling experiments made in conjunction with certain tests of high-flux heaters are reported. Nucleate boiling heat transfer data from a 0.250 in. OD horizontal cylinder are reported. Pressures of 1, 3, and 8 psia were obtained with surface heat fluxes ranging from 3.6 x 10/sup 4/ to 8.4 x 10/sup 5/ Btu/hr-ft/sup 2/. Critical heat flux was obtained at pressures of 1.1 and 3 psia with surface heat fluxes of 6 x 10/sup 5/ and 8.3 x 10/sup 5/ Btu/hr-ft/sup 2/ respectively. (auth)
