摘要

The design of internal core debris catchers for sodium-cooled fast reactors requires a knowledge of the natural convection heat transfer coefficient from a downward-facing surface. This paper describes the Sodium Natural Convection (SONAC) Experiment for studying natural convection to sodium from a flat heater plate which can be inclined from the vertical to the horizontal with the heat flux in a downward direction. The experiment consists of an electrically heated plate, 316mm long and 300mm wide, immersed in a sodium pool, 690mm long, 300mm wide and 600mm deep; the latter is cooled externally by a highly rated air cooler. Experiments are reported for a uniform heat flux from the heater plate in a horizontal position and also inclined at 15 degrees to the horizontal.
