Stability analysis on single-phase natural circulation in Argonne Lead Loop Facility

Creator:

Tang, Hong

Abstract:

Natural convection provides a means for circulating fluids without the use of pumps. This type of system is of great interest for a wide variety of applications, including solar heaters, process industry, and nuclear reactors. Natural convection will play a vital role in the area of passive safety and reliability,...

Effects of fluid axial conduction on liquid metal natural circulation and linear stability

Creator:

Sabharwall, Piyush

Abstract:

The effect of fluid axial thermal conduction on one-dimensional liquid metal natural circulation and its linear stability was performed through non-dimensional analysis, steady-state assessment, and linear perturbation evaluation. The Nyquist criterion and a root search method were employed to find the linear stability boundary of both forward and backward circulations....
