A full-scale heat transfer test facility has been designed and built for the determination of effective thermal conductivity of pebble bed, which is a macroscopic parameter to characterize the heat transfer capacity of the core in the High Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor. The data acquisition system is developed to collect, display and record the temperature data in monitoring points. Two alternative software systems are designed to obtain better performance. To enhance precision of the measurement system, several aspects are analyzed and optimized in the implementation of LabVIEW. The error of the hardware system is analyzed, which is within the acceptable range. The data acquisition system can meet the practical demands of temperature acquisition in the range of thermal analysis.

Thermal dispersion is an important topic in the convective heat transfer in porous media. In order to determine the heat transfer in a packed bed, the effective thermal conductivity including both stagnant and dispersion thermal conductivities should be known. Several theoretical and experimental studies have been performed on the determination of the effective thermal conductivity. The aim of this study is to review the experimental studies done on the determination of the effective thermal conductivity of the packed beds. In this study, firstly brief information on the definition of the thermal dispersion is presented and then the reported experimental studies on the determination of the effective thermal conductivity are summarized and compared. The reported experimental methods are classified into three groups: (1) heat addition/removal at the lateral boundaries, (2) heat addition at the inlet/outlet boundary, (3) heat addition inside the bed. For each performed study, the experimental details, methods, obtained results, and suggested correlations for the determination of the effective thermal conductivity are presented. The similarities and differences between experimental methods and reported studies are shown by tables. Comparison of the correlations for the effective thermal conductivity is made by using figures and the results of the studies are discussed.

This paper describes the use of modern measuring and data acquisition system for determining characteristics of feromagnetic material. For this purpose data acquisition card NI USB-6009, PC with data acquisition software and fluxmeter Electrical Steel Measuring System MPG 100 D were used. Based on the results obtained by measurements the modeling of hysteresis loop is performed by using appropriate mathematical model.
