Measurement of void frequency distributions and void profiles in nucleate pool boiling using neutron beams

  • 1. McMaster Univ., Hamilton, Ontario (Canada)

Description

The results of neutron experiments designed to provide accurate measurements of the frequency distribution of void fractions and the mean-void profiles in nucleate pool boiling are presented. It is found that the void distributions and the void profiles are distinctly determined by both the source heat flux and the distance from the heat source. These results are suggestive of the complex void formation-coalescing processes which occur in pool boiling. (orig.)
