  • 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...

  • Experimental Investigation of the Transition to Natural Convection in HTGR Applications using the Oregon State SFSETF

    Creator:
    Fishler, Joshua D.
    Abstract:
    High Temperature Gas Reactors (HTGRs) are positioned to disrupt local and global markets via their unique ability to produce carbon-free process heat, high efficiency power generation, and passively safe operational features. However, significant impediments still exist to delay deployment of this particular technology, including a lack of experimental data, verified...

  • 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...
