EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF THE FLOW RATE OF HEAVY LIQUID-METAL COOLANT

摘要

The purpose of the present work was to investigate experimentally the flow velocity of lead-bismuth eutectic in a channel whose cross section is circular and where the oxygen content is monitored and regulated [1].rnThe high-temperature liquid-metal stand FT1 was developed to perform these investigations. The stand contains an experimental section with a sensor for measuring the local velocity in the cross section of the channel (Fig. 1). The experimental section consists of a tube (tube material - 08Kh18N10T austenitic steel) with inner diameter 26 mm and wall thickness 3 mm. The velocity was measured in the lead-bismuth coolant flow.
