Abstract

Pressure drop experiments was conducted for liquid sodium in an electrically heated 7-rod bundle. The electrically heated 7-rod bundle was placed in a hexagonal tube. In the experiment,the heat flux ranges from 0~300 kw·m-2,mass velocity from 40~450 kg·m-2·s-1, system pressure from 10~200 KPa and the average temperature of liquid sodium from 350~650℃.The effects of the heat flux, system pressure and the average temperature of liquid sodium on the pressure drop was in-depth analyzed. A new correlation for pressure drop was developed based on the experimental data of liquid sodium in a 7-rod bundle.
