Experimental Studies of the Initial Section in the Channel Simulator of a Heat-Releasing Element Cell

Abstract

The study had provided complete measurement results of the velocity field and the pressure loss of the initial section in the channel of the scaled-up close-packed model of the heat-releasing element cell. It also provides estimates of pressure losses based on the boundary layer calculation and their comparison with the experimental ones.
