Twenty-six instrumented burnout points were obtained using a solid tubular test section. This test section consists of a heater tube of 1.660 OD, 1.442 ID, 40 in. long, cooled on both surfaces and contained in a 2.50 in. ID outer housing tube. Variables studied include overall mass velocities at 0.5 to 2.3 x 10/sup 6/ lb/hr-ft/sup 2/, mixed fluid exit conditions between 42 deg F subcooled and 20% steam quality and average instrumented burnout heat fluxes as high as 1.3 x 10/sup 6/ Btu/hr-ft/sup 2/, all at a pressure of 1000 psia. The burnout data showed a very strong reverse mass velocity effect, i.e., for a constant exit quality raising the mass velocity resulted in a lower burnout heat flux. Flow measurements indicated that the percentage of the total flow going to the outer channel was a linearly decreasing function of the total flow rate near burnout. All the data were calculated on the basis of average and per channel conditions. (auth)
