Flow patterns that occur in a rod bundle with forced upward flow of boiling water have been photographed. The experimental rod bundle consisted of four vertical 0.25-in.-diam x 24.0-in-long rods arranged in a single row with spring collar supports. The tested conditions were: pressure-400 to 2000 psia, mass velocity-250,000 to 3,000,000 lb/h.ft/sup 2/, and heat flux (uniform)-up to 1,600,000 Btu/h.ft/sup 2/. The observed two-phase flow patterns were bubble flow, froth flow, slug flow, and annular flow. These flow patterns were mapped at constant pressure on plots of mass velocity versus flowing quality.
