Temperature fields and heat transfer in free-packed fuel pin bundles cooled by heavy liquid metal

The paper considers heat transfer and temperature fields in a free-packed fuel pin bundle cooled by a heavy liquid metal with different types of spacing. Data is analyzed for three fuel assemblies with a pitch of s/d = 1.33: a smooth fuel pin bundle, a bundle of fuel pins spaced by a bilifar-helix w...
