EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS OF A HEAT-TRANSFER STUDY FROM A FULL-SCALE PEBBLE-BED HEATER

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4163149
Data were obtained from the initial operation of a large regenerative pebble-bed heat exchanger in order to determine the heat-transfer characteristics of a packed bed of spheres. The facility, designed to produce hightemperature air for hypersonic flight research, is described in detail. The heat-transfer analysis and results are presented and compared with those of other investigators. (auth)
