Heat transfer measurements in a forced convection loop with two molten-fluoride salts: LiF--BeF/sub 2/--ThF/sub 2/--UF/sub 4/ and eutectic NaBF/sub 4/--NaF
Description:
Heat transfer coefficients were determined experimentally for two molten-fluoride salts (LiF-BeF/sub 2/-ThF/sub 2/-UF/sub 4/ (72-16-12-0.3 mole %) and NaBF/sub 4/-NaF (92-8 mole %) proposed as the fuel salt and coolant salt, respectively, for molten-salt breeder reactors. Information was obtained over a wide range of variables, with salt flowing through 12.7-mm-OD (0.5-in.) Hastelloy N tubing in a forced convection loop (FCL-2b). Satisfactory agreement with the empirical Sieder-Tate correlation…
