FINAL REPORT--SECTION 1. AN ANALYSIS OF THE CRITICAL CONDITIONS AND BURNOUT IN BOILING HEAT TRANSFER. PART I. CRITICAL CONDITIONS. PART II. CRITICAL HEAT FLUXES. SECTION 2. A CORRELATION OFBOILING HEAT TRANSFER FROM THE NUCLEATION THEORY--INCLUDING EFFECTS OF SYSTEM ACCELERATION AND FORCED CONVECTION
Certain basic ideas were applied to boiling heat transfer from which several critical conditions were derived and an equation of the maximum heat flux in nuclear boiling was obtained. The heat transfer was considered as being limited by the maximum rate of bubble generation from a unit area of the heating surface. Heat transfer in nucleate boiling with and without forced convection and subcooling was also studied. With an empirical modification of the nucleation theory as developed by Volmer and Eyring from the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution law, an equation was obtained for heat transfer in vigorous boiling. Validity ef this equation was tested for 18 different systems under different pressures. (M.C.G.)
