Description

In order to enhance the heat transfer performance of innovative decay heat removal system for FBRs, we have proposed to adopt a porous plate as a thermal radiation heat collector. Experimental studies are made on the convective heat transfer of three types of thin porous plates under natural convection. Heat transfer performances and temperature profiles near the porous plates are compared with each other. It is revealed that the porous plates have high heat transfer performances. The effect of pore size on the heat transfer characteristics under natural convection is smaller than that under forced convection. (author)
