A theoretical annlysis of heat transfsr to liquid metals in parallel flow through a tabe bundle, following the method of Lyon, results in an equation that agrees within 10% with the calculated values. The conditions are fully developed tarbulent flow, constant heat flux at the wall, and an infinite number of tubes arranged on an equilateral triangular pitch. The hexagonal flow area assignable to any tube is approximated by a circle of equal area, and the velocity distnibution of Bailey for an annulus is assumed to apply from the inner wall to the circle of marimum flow. The range of conditions is: pitch-to- diameter ratio, 1.375 to 10; Reynolds number, 10/sup 4/ to lO/sup 6/; Prandtl number, 0 to 0.1; and Peclet number, 0 to lO/sup 5/. Laminar and slug flow Nussalt numbers are also determined. (auth)
