NASA RESEARCH ON THE HYDRODYNAMICS OF THE GASEOUS VORTEX REACTOR
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4138534
Presented before a closed session of the annual meeting of the American Rocket Society, Washington, D. C., Nov. 16-21, 1959. A gaseous nuclear reactor utilizing a vortex type flow field to increase the heavy-element holdup time is considered. Equations describing the separation mechanism are presented for both ideal (inviscid, laminar) and real (viscous, turbulent) fluid conditions. Analytical results are given for the separation of air-bromine mixtures in an experimental vortex test apparatus. (auth)
