This report provides an overview of the existing wire-wrapped fuel bundle friction factor/pressure drop correlations and evaluates qualitatively which of the existing friction factor correlations are the best in retracing the results of a large set of the experimental data available on wire-wrapped fuel assemblies tested under different coolant conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
