DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6238052· OSTI ID:6238052
The friction factor and Stanton number for flow past a roughened surface are determined by the parameters A and R(h/sup +/) of the universal law of friction and the parameters A/sub H/ and G(h/sup +/) of the universal law of heat transfer. The methods used for experimental determination of these parameters for the particular roughness and rod diameter proposed for use in the Core Flow Test Loop (CFTL) are presented and recommended values for use in CFTL bundle flow analysis are prescribed.
