EFFECT OF GAS CONTENT ON ONB POINT FOR SANTOWAX OM + 30 w/o HB

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4747774
The ONB (onset of nucleate boiling) point of Santowax OM I 30 wt% HB (high boilers) in forced convection was measured as a function of the dissolved nitrogen content at velocities of 5 and 30 ft/sec, pressures of 150 and 200 psig, and bulk temperatures of 650 and 700 deg F. The data were too meager to formulate a quantitative correlation, but there is a clear indication that increasing the dissolved gas content lowers the heat flux and the temperature driving force at the ONB point.
