RESEARCH

Steel Tubes and Liquid Metals
TRY TO SOLVE PROBLEM

A liquid metals heat transfer
project, with implications in the
generations of power from nuclear
fission, is underway at the Univer-
sity of Delaware, in cooperation
with the Office of Naval Research.
Edward c. Lawson, Jr., assistant
professor of mechanical engineer
ing, is directing the project aided
by Fred Kacena, Morris Ojalvo and
Robert Kleinberg.
Under contract to the Office of
Naval Research, the university will
continue its research to determine
film or surface coefficients of heat
transfer between steel tubes and
liquid metals. The work under the
present contract is to continue un-
til next May 81. The project pre-
viously was supported by the Cen
eral Electric Company.

curry vapor can be generated is
feasible. Several experimental
atomic power plants are onw under
construction. The only major diff
erence between these plants and
corresponding modern steam plants
will be the use of slight quantities
of fashionable material in small
volume nuclear reactor, instead of
the combustion of large quantities
of fuel in a large-volume furnace
to provide the necessary heat en-
ergy at high temperatures. A wen
designed reactor will require an
estimated one-twentieth of the vor-
ume of a modern steam boiler, and
will consume less than one-ten-
thousandth of the volume of fuel.
The hazard of radioactive mater
ial is a considerable factor, Profess
sor Clover pointed out, as is the
lack of knowledge of the behavior
