Single-Tube Reflood with Subsequent Boiling Dry Because of Termination of the Feed. Preliminary Report

摘要

This report is a preliminary presentation of the reflood performance for a single vertical Inconel tube, 0.565 inch in inside diameter and 12 ft high, for operation in which the initial constant feed water rate was terminated when the quench front attained an elevation of about 6 ft. The continued heating boiled away the water in the tube and produced dry out. Results are presented for the wall temperature histories, for quench heights and collapsed liquid levels, and for heat transfer coefficients, for seven runs which demonstrate the effect of different operating conditions.
