IMPROVEMENTS IN AND RELATING TO HEAT TRANSFER BETWEEN A SURFACE AND A FLUID

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4122750

A fired reactor fuel tube can be designed so that the coolant in contact with the tube surface is continually changed, thereby improving the heat transfer from tube to coolant. Three designs for accomplishing the coolant change are (1) helical fins with longitudinal baffles; (2) corrugated helical fins with longitudinal baffles; and (3) corrugated longitudinal fins. The baffles should be made of graphite. (D.L.C.)
