CFD determination of fluid and geometry related localized heat transfer phenomena for supercritical water flow
Farah, Amjad (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 ... -
Characterization of eutectic In-Bi-Sn alloy (Field’s metal) for use in single and two-phase liquid metal flow in natural circulation systems
Lipchitz, Adam (2015-04-01)An In-Bi-Sn eutectic alloy was characterized for the purpose of liquid metal natural circulation experiments. The alloy was chosen to reduce the power requirement and enhance the safety of these types of experiments. The ... -
Specifics of forced-convective heat transfer to supercritical CO2 flowing upward in vertical bare tubes
Saltanov, Eugene (2015-04-01)Heat transfer in the forced convection regime of fluids at supercritical conditions has been studied extensively for the past 60 years. The dominant approach to summarize the experimental results was by proposing empirical ...
