The application of system CFD to the design and optimization of high-temperature gas-cooled nuclear power plants
(ASME, 2008)The objective of this paper is to model the steady-state and dynamic operation of a pebble-bed-type high temperature gas-cooled reactor power plant using a system computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach. System CFD ... -
The flow and heat transfer in a packed bed high temperature gas-cooled reactor
(ASME, 2010)Engineers are faced with two major challenges when carrying out the thermal-fluid design of a complex system consisting of many interacting components such as the PBMR power plant. The first challenge is to predict the ... -
A methodology to investigate the contribution of conduction and radiation heat transfer to the effective thermal conductivity of packed graphite pebble beds, including the wall effect
(Elsevier, 2017)The effective thermal conductivity represents the overall heat transfer characteristics of a packed bed of spheres and must be considered in the analysis and design of pebble bed gas-cooled reactors. During depressurized ... -
A modelling evaluation of an ammonia-fuelled microchannel reformer for hydrogen generation
(Elsevier, 2014)Hydrogen production from an ammonia-fuelled microchannel reactor is simulated in a three-dimensional (3D) model implemented via Comsol Multiphysics™. The work described in this paper endeavours to obtain a mathematical ... -
Simulation of suction recirculation in double suction centrifugal pumps
(SACAM, 2018)Part-load operation conditions of a centrifugal pump will impose potentially strenuous effects on the operation and reliability of the turbomachine in question due to the risk of suction recirculation. Suction recirculation ...
