HEAT TRANSFER TO WATER IN THIN RECTANGULAR CHANNELS

ABS>Heat-transfcr coefficients are presented for water flowing vcrtieally in thin rectangular channels (0.1 x 2.5 in.) 18 and 36 in. long and heated electrically around the entire periphery. Thc range of variables covered is: 65 to 200 psia pressures 90 to 200 F subcoolings and 4 to 50 fps water velocity. Heat-transfer correlations are given for data along the narrow and wide faces of the rectangular test section. Burnout data also are reported with steam blanketing occurring first at the corner of the test section. The proposed correlating equations valid at the narrow face of the test sections gives values considerably lower than those obtained in a circular pipe. (auth)
