Heat transfer from a 2×2 wire-wrapped rod bundle to supercritical pressure water
Abstract
An experiment has been completed to study the heat transfer characteristics of supercritical water in a 2×2 wire-wrapped rod bundle. The rod-bundle simulated a fuel assembly with four heated rods and was installed inside a square channel with rounded corners. A wire of 1.2mm outer diameter was helically wrapped around the outer surface of each heated rod at an axial pitch of 200mm. The experimental parameters covered the pressure of 23–28MPa, …
