Gemini B Interface Heat Exchanger Flow Distribution Test.

Abstract

A series of flow tests were conducted to determine the optimum header-core and flow path configuration for uniform velocity distribution through two different heat exchanger configurations, to aid in the design of the Gemini B/Laboratory interface heat exchanger. The flow tests consisted of flowing colored water through a visualization model of different proposed interface heat exchanger loop configurations at a Reynolds Number equivalent to that of coolant fluid flowing at 140 lb/hr and 70F. Motion pictures were taken into a mirror setup, to simultaneously record the flow distribution on both sides of the model. (Author)
