Description

This paper describes an experimental study of subcooled and low quality film boiling for water in a vertical tube covering a mass flux range of 50-500 Kg m-2s-1 and an inlet subcooling range of 5-700C. Discussion of various observed parametric trends on the film boiling section of the boiling curve is presented. The data are compared with the correlations of Ellion and Hsu. (orig.)
