The objective of this research was to study the characteristics of fluid flow and natural convective heat transfer in vertical fuel elements. The experiment assembly consisted of four vertical fuel elements, square grid arrays in shape, forming each subchannel accompanied by cooling fluid and heat exchanger. Temperature distribution on the heated walls and cooling fluids were obtained from direct measurements utilizing thermocouples. The measurement results were to compare with mathematical simulations using the finite difference methods. Domain Apollo 995 version was employ. The velocity distributions showing the flow characteristic were also produced as result of the mathematical simulation. Isothermal contour photography utilizing Mach-Zehnder interferometer was also conducted in order to analize the formation of fully developed fluid flow. <br />
