Abstract
The results of
experimental studies on the structure of the temperature field in the tube
cross section at the flow of liquid-metal coolant in a T-shaped mixer are
presented. Experiments were carried out using the Rose alloy as the working
fluid. To determine temperature distribution on the test section wall, infrared
thermography was used; to determine temperature distribution in the channel
cross section, a mobile thermocouple was used. Considerable temperature
maldistribution in the mixing zone of liquid flows with different temperatures
on the tube wall and in the coolant melt is shown.
