  • Heat transfer channels
    Patent number: 4056440
    Abstract: Nuclear fuel rods, or other heat emitting rod like bodies are arranged in a coolant channel in a cluster spaced apart from one another and from the channel wall. The channel contains a number of lattice positions uniformly distributed over the flow section there being an odd number of positions in an outer annular row adjacent the channel wall occupied by nuclear fuel rods for example. This discourages coolant flow patterns deleterious to high heat flux.
