A steady-state model is developed for convective boiling and dryout in an eccentric annulus with line contact between the heated inner wall and the adiabatic outer wall. The geometry and heat transfer conditions resemble those in a PWR steam generator, except for the lower pressure. Good agreement is shown with experimental data reported elsewhere.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
