On the effects of centrifugal forces in air-water two-phase flow regime transitions of an adiabatic helical geometry

Creator:

Young, Eric P.

Abstract:

Two-phase flow in helical conduits is important in many industries where reaction between components, heat transfer, and mass transport are utilized as processes. The helical design is chosen for the effects of secondary flow patterns that reduce axial dispersion, increased heat transfer, and also their compact design. The first is...

Comparative analysis of the Žukauskas method and data from the OSU MASLWR test facility steam generator

Creator:

Wuth, Bradyn J.

Abstract:

Some of the next generation of small modular reactors have been designed with helically coiled steam generators integrated into the reactor vessel to enhance natural circulation. According to the developers of TASS/SMR, a one-dimensional thermal hydraulic code written to model the Korean Atomic Energy Research Institute's SMART reactor, the Žukauskas...

Scaling of the Chinese HTR-PM Reactor Design for Licensing and Testing at the Oregon State University High Temperature Test Facility

Creator:

Cox, Jordan

Abstract:

The United States (US) Department of Energy (DOE) has identified the pebble-bed reactor as a high priority for US research with the end goal of licensing a pebble-bed reactor (PBR) for operation in the United States. Before this can be accomplished significant research must be done regarding the safety of...
