Abstract The cooling of a (pebble bed) spent fuel in a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) is adversely affected by
an increase in the temperature of the used gas (air). To investigate this problem, a configuration consisting of
three copper spheres arranged in tandem subjected to a forced mist flow inside a cylindrical channel is considered.
The heat transfer coefficients and related variations as a function of Reynolds number are investigated accordingly. The experimental results show that when compared to those with only airflow, the heat transfer coefficient
of the spherical elements with mist flow (j = 112 kg/m2 hr, Re =… More >
