FFTF: Liquid metal rod bundle; 20 <= Pe <= 1000
Extends from TRANSFORM.Fluid.Pipes_Obsolete.ClosureModels.HeatTransfer.Models.PartialHeatTransfer_setQ_flows (Base model required to allow for models that set Q_flows state rather than temperature state).
Information
The FFTF liquid metal rod bundle heat transfer correlation was created for the Fast Fission Test Facility (FFTF) fuel assembly.
The correlation was taken from the following textbook:
AlanE. Waltar, Donald R. Todd, Pavel V. Tsvetkov
Fast Spectrum Reactors 2012
eq. 9.35 pg. 257
and is reported valid for:
- liquid metal coolant
- 20 <= Peclet Number <= 1000
