Heat Transfer Tests Conducted on Full-Scale Model, to Investigate Cooling Conditions of EL.3 Experimental Reactor; ESSAIS DE TRANSMISSION DE CHALEUR SUR MAQUETTE POUR L'ETUDE DU REFROIDISSEMENT DE LA PILE EXPERIMENTALE EL.3
It is assumed that heat flux densities of 2 x 10/sup 6/ kcal/ hr/m/sup 2/ will occur in the core of the EL-3 reactor. To test the cooling of the uranium fuel elements by heavy water, a series of experiments were made on heat transfer in full-scale medels of the EL-3 channels. The test conditions and the experimental apparatus used are described in detail. The results of the tests are graphed with the variation of the density of heat flux transmitted shown as a function of the temperature difference between wall and water and as a function of the temperature difference between wall and water saturation temperature. An interpretation of the results shows that they are in good agreement with the classical Colburn formula. (J.S.R.)
