This technical report summarizes the research conducted and progress achieved during the period from January 1, 1997 to March 30, 1997. The systematic tests were conducted to investigate the thermal performance and heat transfer effect on the exploratory hot model. Test results were analyzed to understand thermal performance, heat balance, and heat transfer effect on exploratory hot model. Temperature was measured at different locations of the combustor chamber. The temperature was decreased along the increase the distance from the bottom of the combustor chamber. The heat loss from the combustor wall to the environment is a great portion of the total heat transfer. The flame enthalpy and heat loss at the reactor center changed along the reactor height. The heat loss into the cooling water for case A is about two times lager than that of case B. The heat transfer coefficient from gas to the environment increased as the flame temperature increased.
