Summary report on Columbia University heat transfer studies

Experimental investigations were undertaken at Columbia University to determine the heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics of fuel elements for the Savannah River reactors. Primarily the tests simulated quatrefoil operation, but a number of tests directly applicable to the operation of extended surface fuel elements were performed. Data books were published in which the experimental data are tabulated.
