Numerical Analysis of FLiBe Laminar Convective Heat Transfer Characteristics in Tubes Fitted With Coaxial Cross Twisted Tape Inserts

Molten salts are now widely used as heat transfer fluids in solar thermal plants and molten salt nuclear reactors. In order to explore their heat transfer enhancement method, new coaxial cross twisted tapes (CCTTs) are applied to plain tubes with molten salt FLiBe as the working fluid, and the chara...
