A CORRELATION OF HEAT TRANSFER FOR FINNED FUEL ELEMENTS FOR CARBON DIOXIDE REACTORS
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4279146
In the course of development of fuel element cans for gas cooled reactors a type of finning has been evolved comprising multistart helical fins intersected by longitudiual splitters. The flow pattern associated with this type of finning is discussed and the method of testing is described. As the result of tests on a wide range of geometrical arrangements of this finning in different channel sizes it was possible to produce empirical correlations of heat transfer and friction factor. Examples for a series of cans of 2 inches external diameter in a variety of channel sizes are presented. (auth)
