The article describes an investigation of horizontal rod bundles with various liner geometries, bundle layouts, numbers of rows, and relative spacings of the rods; the space of the bundles is filled with various media: air, carbon dioxide, gas, water, and MS-20 oil. The variations of the rod temperature distribution and the form of the coolant isotherms in the cross sections of the bundles in the course of evolution of natural convection are discussed. Relations are proposed for calculating the mean temperature of the rods and the temperature of the maximally heated rod in the bundle when the heat release is given.
