Pressure drop and volume fraction of grid and wire spaced subassemblies. [LMFBR]
The results of parametric calculations of pressure drop and volume fractions for honeycomb grid spaced LMFBR fuel rod bundles are given, and a comparison with those of spiral wire spaced subassemblies is presented. The study covered the range of pin diameters from 0.3 to 0.45 inches, with linear heat ratings between 10 and 40 kW/ft. Included is also a brief discussion of the pressure drop predictions by several commonly used correlations.
