Data bank of experimental values of boiling crisis in steady-state conditions

The data bank stores information at two levels: data on experimental sections, and data on individual experimental points which were measured in each section. The classification is represented of the different types of information in the data bank. Four types of records are used for describing an experimental section: Record MM (numerical information on the section), record AA (geometrical and power characteristics of a section consisting of a rod bundle), record BB (geometrical and power characteristics of a section consisting of a tube or an annular channel) and record CC (data required for the evaluation of experiments using the method of sub-channel analysis). For each experimental point there are two types of records: record DD (description of experimental regime) and record MD (supplementary information on experimental points measured on sections formed by rod bundles). The software is presented for controlled data retrieval from the bank and certain possible uses of the bank are discussed. Histograms are used to represent the distribution of experimental values in dependence on regime and geometrical parameters. (E.S.)
