Thermal hydraulic analysis of the Oregon State TRIGA Reactor using RELAP5-3D

Creator:

Marcum, Wade R.

Abstract:

Oregon State University has recently conducted a complete core conversion analysis as part of the Reduced Enrichment for Research and Test Reactors Pprogram. The goals of the thermal hydraulic analyses were to calculate natural circulation flow rates, coolant temperatures and fuel temperatures as a function of core power for both...

Comprehensive Characterization of Motion of a Helical Coil Due to Flow Induced Vibration

Creator:

Harmon, Paul L.

Abstract:

Mechanical vibrations compromise the integrity of key components of thermal power plants. Without careful design, strong resonances during steady state operation can wear these components to the point of failure, leading to an unsafe situation that may force a plant to shut down. The purpose of this research is to...

Development of a Novel MEMS Thermal Sensor Array for Pebble Bed HTGRs

Creator:

Hertel, Matthew A.

Abstract:

A novel high temperature thermal instrument is proposed, which utilizes a dual-sensing platinum resistor encased in a mono-crystalline alpha-alumina (sapphire) substrate. The instrument is comprised of four platinum trace elements, oriented with 90° rotational symmetry atop a 1120 oriented crystal lattice substrate. All four of these sensors measure temperature directly...
