Specifics of forced-convection heat transfer to supercritical water flowing upward in annular and bundle flow geometries
(2016-08-01)
Since annulus- and bundle-flow geometries impede coolant flow, heat transfer to the coolant would occur differently than in bare tubes. The main objective of this work is to propose and verity a universal method to accurately ...
Assessment of FLUENT CFD code as an analysis tool for SCW applications
(2012-08-01)
Chosen as one of six Generation‒IV nuclear-reactor concepts, SuperCritical Water-cooled Reactors (SCWRs) are expected to have high thermal efficiencies within the range of 45 ‒ 50% owing to the reactor‟s high pressures and ...
CFD determination of fluid and geometry related localized heat transfer phenomena for supercritical water flow
(2017-04-01)
The proposed concept of Supercritical Water-cooled Reactor (SCWR) as part of the Generation IV International Forum aims to improve the thermal efficiency over current power plants by utilizing cooling water at pressures ...
Experimental and theoretical investigation of novel phase change materials for thermal applications
(2015-08-01)
An experimental investigation is conducted to test the thermal properties, behaviour and characteristics of R134a clathrates with additives, as phase change materials (PCMs). PCMs’ charging characteristics are analysed and ...
Mass transfer and particle dissolution in liquid-gas and solid-liquid flows: Application to hydrogen production processes.
(2013-10-01)
Many environmental problems are related to the production, transformation and use
of energy. Some of the concerns include, but are not limited to, acid rain, ozone depletion
and climate change. Therefore, “greener” ...
Development and analysis of thermal management strategies to improve Lithium-ion battery performance
(2024-01-01)
The transportation industry contributes more than a quarter of the global greenhouse gas emissions and transportation electrification was introduced as a means to decarbonize the industry. One of the major challenges related ...
