  • 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,...

  • 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....

  • 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...
