For a Pebble Bed Reactor, there is a complex interaction between the flowing gas and the heat generating pebbles. It is important to understand this interaction in order to accurately account for the gas dispersion and heat exchange in the Pebble Bed Reactor. In the experiment, helium gas will be used as a tracer in an air stream traveling through on a plastic column of pebbles. The air is injected at two locations above and below the column which is three feet in height and 30 cm in diameter. Relative to the pebbles, the gas travels very quickly, so the pebbles are stationary for the experiment. Three samples are taken and analyzed from each injection point. The entire system can be divided into different mixing zones. The data from the sa...
