Information

The Lyon-Martinelli heat transfer correlation is for flow of liquid metal in circular tubes with contant heat flux along the tube wall.

Range of validity:

• liquid metal coolant
• flow in circular tubes
• constant heat flux along tube wall (Lyon-Martinelli) or constant wall temperature (Seban-Shimazaki)
