Parr, R; Huggill, J A.W.

A heterogeneous reactor is designed for improved heat transfer. In this reactor, fuel elements are arranged in stacks in vertical fuel channels, each element comprising an array of parallel fuel plates mounted on supports and spaced apart to provide coolant passages. The coolant flow is made to follow a zig-zag path through the fuel plates by tilting the fuel stack obliquely across the channel or by means of baffles or recessions in the channel sides. (D.L.C.)
