Flow and heat transfer analysis of the KER Loops

A study has been made of the flow and pressure-drop characteristics of the KER Loops. This was needed for the redesign of these loops to permit them to serve as a suitable test facility for proposed studies in an expanded range of operation. The report serves to indicate the magnitude of redesign required to achieve the desired goals of 80,000 lbs. per hour tube flow, and 4,000 kw heat exchanger capacity. 4 figs., 5 tabs.
