Summary:

An investigation is being made in the field of hightemperature vibrational heat transfer in water systems under conditions similar to those in operating nuclear reactor systems. A program of pool heating at atmospheric pressure and at vibrational frequencies from about 10 cps to 1 mcps is established as a necessary prerequisite to a pressurized, forced convection heat transfer testing program. The lower end of the frequency range (up to 4000 cps) is to be conducted using and electrodynamic shaker as the source of the vibrations. For the higher frequencies piezoelastic ceramic transducers will be employed to provide the vibrations. Extensive operation of the highpressure water heat transfer loop was carried out in an effort to learn as much or its operational behavior as possible, to proof check the various components of the loop, to debug its instrumentation, and to correct any inadequacies that might exist. The design of the vertical test section for the vibrational heat transfer testing program is presented. (N.W.R.)
