摘要
When forced circulation of the coolant is lost in a gas cooled reactor, natural circulation takes place in the reactor core. Natural circulation in the many parallel vertical channels with different heat inputs is quite complicated because the flow rate and direction depend on the time history of the heat input of each channel. Since only a few previous studies were concerned with this problem, an experimental and analytical study was performed to investigate the natural circulation in an array of parallel channels with different heat inputs. The experimental apparatus consisted of four vertical channels filled with water. Each channel was furnished with a heater pin and heated by various combinations of time-varying heat inputs. Flow velocity of the water was measured, and an abrupt change of the flow direction was observed. An analytical code predicted well the experimental results.
