Description

The results of experimental and computational thermohydraulic research for the experimental demonstration lead-cooled fast reactor BREST are considered. Method of experiments and design of the model subassembly are described. The generalized recommendations (formula, graphic dependence) to estimate the Nusselt numbers and temperature non-uniformities along a perimeter of fuel pins of this reactor for a number of cases representing the greatest practical interest for thermohydraulic substantiation of the reactor core are given.
