ABSTRACT:
Sandia National Laboratories conducted an experiment investigating the Departure from Nucleate Boiling/Hydraulic Instability in support of the 10-megawatt central receiver solar pilot plant project in Barstow, California. The experiment provided fundamental fluid dynamics data that will

improve the understanding of boiling in a one-side-heated single pass to superheat solar boiler panel. The purpose of this report is to document the test results and the experimental configuration. The data from 167 test runs, each with 250 data channels, have been condensed in summary plots and tables. The description of the apparatus, and the summarized data provide a clear characterization of the flow boiling phenomena unique to the five-tube experiment and the Barstow receiver. Although there are differences between the five-tube test hardware and the actual Barstow receiver panels, the differences are alluded to in this report, but not analyzed. That analysis will be the subject of other reports. Show Less
