Effect of cross sectional shape on critical heat flux in a vertical tube cooled by Freon-12

  • 1. Korea Advanced Energy Research Inst., Daeduk (Republic of Korea)

Description

Critical Heat Flux (CHF) measurements have been made in three subchannel shaped test sections cooled by Freon-12. The cross sections of the test sections were : round, triangular and rectangular ones. At a coolant quality of more than 10 % the effect of subchannel shape on CHF was not significant. The effect was significant, however, in the subcooled region where CHF was up to 38 % below that predicted by the W-3 tube correlation. (author)
