  • Feasibility Study on MHD Energy Conversion for Applications in Liquid Metal Cooled Nuclear Reactors

    Creator:
    Qiu, Hanrui
    Abstract:
    The application of two-phase magnetohydrodynamic(MHD) in liquid metal cooled nuclear reactors presents opportunities to simplify the power generation system by eliminating moving components like a turbine for enhanced safety. The proposed system in this thesis consists of two loops with immiscible working fluids. The compressed gas expands in the two-phase...

  • A Theoretical Model for Spherical Cap Bubble Geometry

    Creator:
    Wieland, Isaiah T.
    Abstract:
    The significant variation in bubble geometry, as a function of size, has fascinated scientists for hundreds of years. However, a comprehensive explanation for these observations and the underlying physics has eluded researchers. A theoretical model which describes a the relationship between forces that produce spherical cap bubble geometry has been...

  • Heat Loss Characterization of NIST-1's Containment Vessel

    Creator:
    Yoshiura, Ramon K.
    Abstract:
    NuScale Power has designed a small modular reactor using natural circulation cooling dependent systems for both steady-state and transient operations. The NuScale Integral Test System (NIST-1) facility was built to supply test data to NuScale Power to verify and validate computer codes for the NuScale Power Mod- ule (NPM) with...

  • Investigation of Drag Coefficient and Virtual Mass Coefficient on Rising Ellipsoidal Bubbles

    Creator:
    Dueñas, Alexander M.
    Abstract:
    Accurately describing drag and virtual mass forces in two-phase flows is crucial for high fidelity modeling of nuclear thermal hydraulic safety systems. This study compares existing drag coefficient correlations commonly used in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) applications for air bubbles to experimental data collected for ellipsoidal air bubbles of varying...

  • Flat Plate Free Convective Heat Transfer

    Creator:
    Bristol, Benjanmin R.
    Abstract:
    The OSU MASLWR Test facility is a scaled integral systems LOCA and proof-of-concept test facility for the Multi-Application Small Light Water Reactor design concept. A unique feature of this design is to utilize a small high pressure containment vessel to provide the safety containment function for an integral reactor pressure...

  • Gravity-based non-invasive superconducting gravimeter system for reactor coolant inventory monitoring

    Creator:
    Danielson, Jordan J.
    Abstract:
    All nuclear reactors rely heavily on the use of level sensing instrumentation to detect the behaviour of liquid in vessels. The majority of level sensing instruments are differential pressure sensing meters, which are invasive and could be the failure source in the pressure boundary of the primary coolant system. In...
