Description

Based on the up-to-date research of the fluid-to-fluid modeling of critical heat flux (CHF) in bundle, the experiment on fluid-to-fluid modeling of CHF in 4 x 4 bundle was carried out. The results show that the models which fit to fluid-to-fluid modeling of CHF in tube can not fit to that in 4 x 4 rod bundle, and the last grid in the bundle has an effect on the CHF in Freon-12. It indicates that the effect of the last grid on the fluid-to-fluid modeling of CHF in bundle is complicated and the further study is necessary. (author)
