...Seok-Ki Choi; Seong-O Kim; Hoon-Ki Choi A numerical study for the evaluation of heat transfer correlations for sodium flows in a heat exchanger of a fast breeder nuclear reactor is performed. Three different types of flows such as parallel flow, cross flow, and two inclined flows are considered...

... physical properties of different liquid metals. For liquid sodium, as an example test material, variation in the work function produces order-of-magnitude differences in the film thickness and evaporation profile. A comparison of the retarded DLP theory and nonretarded (Hamaker approximation) London...
