Experimental investigation of heat transfer from a 2×2 rod bundle to supercritical pressure water
Abstract
Heat transfer experiments with supercritical pressure water flowing vertically upward through a 2×2 rod bundle have been performed at Xi’an Jiaotong University. A fuel-assembly simulator with four heated rods was installed inside a square channel with rounded corner. The outer diameter of each heated rod is 8mm with an effective heated length of 600mm. The experiments covered the pressure range of 23–28MPa, mass-flux range of 350–1000kg/(m2s) …
