Description

For safety studies low Reynold numbers, free convective heat transfer and high temperature radiation are considered when assuming failure of the total forced convective cooling system of the gas-cooled high temperature reactor with pebble bed core. A computer programme (THERMIX) has been developed to calculate the fluid dynamics and heat transfer of a pebble bed. The Nusselt number for natural convective heat transfer was found to be independent of the void fraction. (DG)
