Title: Heat Transfer Phenomena in Supercritical Water Nuclear Reactors

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/918695· OSTI ID:918695

A supercritical water heat transfer facility has been built at the University of Wisconsin to study heat transfer in ancircular and square annular flow channel. A series of integral heat transfer measurements has been carried out over a wide range of heat flux, mas velocity and bulk water temperatures at a pressure of 25 MPa. The circular annular test section geometry is a 1.07 cm diameter heater rod within a 4.29 diameter flow channel.
