N2 - A new test facility, COOLOCE has been designed and built
for experimental investigations of coolability of porous
particle beds with a flexible geometry. The main
objective of the experiments is to compare the
coolability of a heap-like (conical) particle bed
configuration to that of an evenly-distributed
cylindrical particle bed. The first experiments with a
conical particle bed have been performed. The results
suggest that the dryout power is relatively high in the
conical particle bed. In addition to the experimental
work, analytical work on the issue, including code
development, is performed.
