Abstract
This article is a survey of basic work on heat transfer between solid surfaces and flowing liquefied metal that has been reported by both Soviet and foreign authors. The results of experiments on heat transfer to liquid metals are analyzed for cases where flow took place in both long and short tubes, flat channels, over bundles of rods and over a plate along their longitudinal directions, across cylinders, with free convection and condensation of liquid metal vapors. The effect of additives on the rate of heat transfer is examined. Questions that arise in connection with boiling of liquid metals are discussed, as are problems of wetting effects on fluid friction and on heat transfer rate. Equations for calculation of heat transfer rates are given.
