Molten Salt Pump Journal-Bearings Dynamic Characteristics Under Hydrodynamic Lubrication Conditions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A reliable high-temperature molten salt pump is critical for the development of Fluoride-salt-cooled, High-temperature Reactors (FHRs). By supporting the rotating journal, the appropriate journal bearing can ensure that ...
Void Fraction Measurement and Prediction of Two-Phase Boiling Flows in a Tubular Test Section
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Void fraction is one of the most important parameters that affect two-phase flow heat transfer and pressure drop. In this paper, a commercial gamma densitometer and a high-speed X-ray radiography system developed at the ...
Tree-Based Ensemble Learning Models for Wall Temperature Predictions in Post-Critical Heat Flux Flow Regimes at Subcooled and Low-Quality Conditions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Accurately predicting post-critical heat flux (CHF) heat transfer is an important but challenging task in water-cooled reactor design and safety analysis. Although numerous heat transfer correlations have been developed ...
