The pertinent parameters required for the analysis of coolant channels are tabulated in Table 3. Figure 17 shows the power dissipate and the temperature increase in each channel at 265 kW reactor total power. This power was the results of the thermal power calibration (Mesquita et al. 2007). The profile of the mass flow rate and velocity in the core is shown in the graphs of Figure 18. Figure 19 compares experimental and theoretical profile of mass flux G in the core coolant channels. The theoretical values were calculated using PANTERA code (Veloso, 2005). As it can see by the Reynolds number the flow regime is turbulent in channels near the core centre.

Figure 20 shows the water temperatures evolution at the reactor pool, and the inlet and outlet coolant temperature in the core’s hottest channel until the beginning of steady state. The results showed that the thermocouples positioned 143 mm over the top grid plate (Inf 7) measure a temperature level higher than all the other thermocouples positioned over the reactor core. The temperature measurements above the core showed that thorough mixing of water occurs within the first centimeters above core top resulting in a uniform water temperature. It means that the chimney effect is not much high, less than 400 mm above the reactor core, in agreement with similar experiments reported by Rao et al. (1988). The chimney effect is considered as an unheated extension of the core. The chimney height is the
distance between the channel exit and the fluid isotherm plan above the core and it depends of the reactor power.
