Those attending the Conference included more than 800 delegates from 168 scientific, construction, and design organizations, industrial enterprises, and institutions of higher education. They heard and commented on 50 survey reports, covering more than 250 scientific studies. M. A. Styrikovich devoted his introductory report to the prospects of development in the power industry and the utilization of natural resources. N. M. Markov, Director of the Central Boiler and Turbine Institute, emphasized in his statement the importance of rapidly introducing into industry the results of scientific investigations. S. S. Kutateladze, V. M. Borishanskii, and V. I. Golubinskii, who spoke thereafter, discussed some problems of hydrodynamics and heat exchange in two-phase media.Two sections functioned at the Conference:1. Heat exchange and hydrodynamics in the boiling of liquids under conditions of free convection. Condensation of vapors and evaporation. Heat exchange and hydrodynamics in the near-critical region.2. Heat exchange and hydrodynamics in the organized movement of a two-phase stream and rapidly moving vapor-bearing streams. Heat-exchange crisis with free convection and organized movement of coolant (pipes, channels).In the first section a great deal of attention was devoted to the investigation of the mechanism of boiling. New data were presented concerning break-away diameters, surface characteristics, and growth dynamics of steam bubbles. A great deal of interest was aroused by reports devoted to boiling on ribbed surfaces, in slit channels, and on surfaces with various types of covering. Noteworthy among the reports were those dealing with investigations of heat transfer in the condensation of vapors of various substances, in which the investigators considered new aspects of the mechanism of heat transfer during bubble-boiling of liquids.Some reports contained an analysis of the operation of power equipment, Including in particular the steam generator of the Novovoronezhsk Atomic Power Station, the VK-50 reactor, etc. The results of these investigations made it possible to optimize the area of the steam-generator heating surface and to develop a new method for the design of shell-type boiling reactors.The second section discussed problems involved in heat exchange and hydrodynamics in the boiling of liquids in pipes, as well as the heat-exchange crisis associated with boiling.
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.
