ARMY GAS-COOLED REACTOR SYSTEMS PROGRAM HECTIC AN IBM 704 COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR HEAT TRANSFER ANALYSIS OF GAS-COOLED REACTORS

摘要

HECTIC is an IBM 704 computer program for calculating heat transfer rates and temperatures in the fuel elements of typical gas-cooled nuclear reactors. The program is extremely flexible and unique in that the ef¬fects of turbulent interchange between flow passages are considered. The computation procedure amounts to a "nodal" or "lumped parameter" type calculation. A full-size run requires approximately 15 minutes of machine time.
