SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES BETWEEN SINGLE-SIDE AND UNIFORM HEATING FOR FUSION APPLICATIONS .2. SINE HEAT-FLUX

Quantitative correlation factors and functions are derived that relate the inside peak heat fluxes for cases involving single-side sine and uniform external heat flux distributions, which are applied to a circu lar coolant channel. The results are also presented in terms of a map that gives insight on how to improve high-heat-flux accommodation. The results show that similarities and differences depend on two dimensio nless parameters: the Blot number Bi and the channel radius ratio R(o) = r(o)/r(i).
