THE FIRST CRITICAL HEAT-FLUX DENSITYOF KEROSENE IN STEPWISE AND STEADY-STATERELEASES OF HEAT
D. S. Obukhov UDC 621.039.517 Experimental results on determination of stationary and nonstationary first critical densities of heat fluxes for the TS-1 hydrocarbon fuel are presented. As a consequence of the investigations carried out in a wide range of subcoolings and pressures, it has been established that for kerosene, just as for water, hydrogen, and helium, the first nonstationary critical heat-flux density qcr 1n coincides with the stationary one qcr 1 St. Petersburg State Polytechnic University, 29 Politekhnicheskaya Str., St. Petersburg, 423810, Russia.
