Transient forced convection heat transfer due to exponentially increasing heat input to a heater is important as a database for the safety assessment of the transient heat transfer process in a very high temperature gas-cooled reactor (VHTR). Forced convection transient heat transfer for helium gas flowing over a cylinder in a narrow channel was experimentally studied at various periods of exponential increases in heat input. The test heater was mounted *
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.
