Theoretical and experimental investigation of the heat transfer and pressure drop optimisation on textured heat transfer surfaces

Theoretical and experimental investigation of the heat transfer and pressure drop optimisation on textured heat transfer surfaces

Modern nuclear reactors still use Zirconium-4 Alloy (Zircaloy®) as the cladding material for fuel elements. A substantial amount of research has been done to investigate the boiling heat transfer behind the cooling mechanism of the reactor. Boiling heat transfer is notoriously difficult to quantify...
