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
