Natural Convection Heat Transfer and Boundary Layer Transition for Vertical Heated Cylinders

Creator:

Goodrich, Sam S.

Abstract:

In recent years, the global nuclear industry has placed a greater emphasis on passively safe reactor designs. In particular, much attention and design work has been applied to engineered systems for passive cooling of nuclear fuel, whether it be loaded in a core or stored in spent fuel pools. The...

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....
