Specifics of forced-convective heat transfer to supercritical CO2 flowing upward in vertical bare tubes
(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 ...
Characterization of eutectic In-Bi-Sn alloy (Field’s metal) for use in single and two-phase liquid metal flow in natural circulation systems
(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 ...
An evaluation of the net breeding capability of heterogeneously-fuelled pressure-tube heavy water reactors with the thorium fuel cycle
(2015-12-01)
The thorium fuel cycle is a promising future option for an alternative to uranium. The pressure tube heavy water reactor (PT-HWR) has for decades been considered capable of achieving net breeding on the thorium fuel cycle, ...
