Abstract

Experimental investigations of liquid helium heat transfer from a channel configuration are reported. Four model test sections are constructed each consisting of a rectangular cross section channel 127 mm in length and 12.7 mm wide with a narrow gap of dimension 0.5, 1, 2 and 3 mm respectively. The channels are open at both ends to permit natural circulation of the helium coolant. Variables within the experiment include bath temperature and channel orientation. Values for the peak heat flux are compared to available correlations. An empirical fit to the angular dependence of the peak heat flux is suggested.
