Jones, A B; Dight, D G

STABLE-3 is an extension of the STABLE-2 Philco 2000 digital computer program for examining the hydraulic stability of a single boiling coolant channel in Parallel with many other channels. Only the modlfications of STABLE-2 resulting in the program called STABLE-3 are discussed. The modifications were made primarily to simplify the input-output effort required of the user, to minimize the magnitude of a discontinuity occurring in a certain friction factor correlation, and to approximately accommodate the simultaneous existence of both nonboiling and subcooled boiling regimes in the subcooled region of the coolant channel. A program listing and instructions for running the program are included. (auth)
