Abstract
Density wave instability in a once-through boiling flow system was systematically observed using a uniformly joule-heated water loop operated at system pressures ranging from 20 to 43 ata. The test section consisted of two heated tubes connected in parallel and further paralleled by an unheated by-pass. The oscillatory behavior is analyzed as well as the effects brought on the threshold of instability by changes in the operating variables—mass velocity, system pressure, inlet resistance, inlet subcooling, by-pass ratio and exit quality. The experimental data are also presented in form convenient for verifying various analytical methods devised to predict the stability boundary.
