ABSTRACT

The results of experimental studies of critical heat transfer in boiling of a subcooled swirled flow as well as a physical model of the crisis based on modeling of the drying-out of a liquid microlayer are presented. The investigation is performed with application to the program of thermonuclear research. Comparison of the predicted results with experimental data shows satisfactory agreement.
