• Thermal Hydraulic LMFBR Safety Experiments

! l.1 Dispersion in Internally Heated Boiling Pools (T. Ginsberg, H. Makowitz)

Work continued on preparation of the report on the feasibility of usin8 microwave heating in boiling pool studies. A first draft is nearly complete.

4 1.2 HCDA Bubble Energetics (T. Ginsberg; C. Moszynski, University of Delaware) l The informal report " Liquid Entrainment by an Expanding Gas or Vapor Bub-ble - A Review of Experiments and Models," BNL-NUREG-28343, was issued.

1.3 Heat Transfer in Internally Heated Pools (G.A. Greene)

A report summarizing the experiments and analysis of natural convection .

i j heat transfer from internally heated non-boiling liquids to vertical and in-clined boundaries was completed.
