  • Numerical study of mass transfer enhanced by theromocapillary convection in a 2-D microscale channel

    Creator:
    Kittidacha, Witoon
    Abstract:
    The effect of unsteady thermocapillary convection on the mass transfer rate of a solute between two immiscible liquids within a rectangular microscale channel with differentially heated sidewalls was numerically investigated. A computational fluid dynamic code in Fortran77 was developed using the finite volume method with Marker and Cell (MAC) technique...

  • 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....

  • Experimental study of subcooled water spray cooling using flow symmetric micro-structured surfaces

    Creator:
    Tulchinsky, Alex M.
    Abstract:
    Spray impingement cooling has been shown to be a leading candidate for future high heat flux cooling applications. In general, spray cooling curves consist of three heat flux regimes; single-phase, two-phase and critical heat flux (CHF). CHF is considered the design limit for almost all two-phase cooling applications, as a...

  • Modeling convective boiling flow with in-situ local vapor extraction

    Creator:
    Salakij, Saran
    Abstract:
    The pressure drop of convective boiling flow may be reduced by extracting vapor locally since the entire generated vapor does not have to travel through the entire channel length. In this study, the theoretical model was developed to simulate a convective boiling flow through a fractal-like branching microchannel network with...

  • 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...
