Abstract
The accurate study of heat transfer between water and steam at high pressures was achieved on a developed and tested model of a miixing unit for heat transfer flows (MUHTF). The testing results demostrated that the input water subheating up to the saturation temperature at the model exit is less than 1 and 2 °С for two- and single-tray arrangement of the water-separation unit in the model, correspondingly. The droplet flow model might be applied for thermal calculation of the heating block in the MUHTF.
