Design and Construction of an Experimental Apparatus for Heat Transfer Studies in Dissociating Iodine Vapor

Abstract

A closed loop tunnel and test section have been designed to enable the experimental determination of the heat transfer rate to a gas in laminar flow for varying degrees of dissociation. The iodine gas, circulated around the tunnel, enters the tubular two inch test section at a pressure between .001 and 1 atmosphere, a temperature between 250 deg and 400 deg F, and is subjected to a constant test section wall temperature which may be varied up to 1500 deg F. The apparatus is constructed principally of six inch porcelain coated steel pipe and fittings.
