HEAT TRANSFER DURING TRANSIENT FLOW TO WATER AT VARIOUS PRESSURES
Abstract
Experimental results are presented for heat transfer during a flow reversal of water at various pressures in heated tubes and an annulus. Data was processed to allow direct comparison with some of the correlations available in transient flow. Results tend to confirm a fairly simple model of transient dryout but some discrepancies were noted with single phase correlations. Overall loop characteristics of the test facility are important in determining events after dryout.
