Abstract: Experimental data were collected for one smooth round tube bundle and three twisted elliptical tube bundles using a kerosene mixture as a condensing vapor and air as a noncondensable gas. Experimental results showed that ...

Abstract: Molten salt reactor (MSR) has been recognized as one of the next-generation nuclear power systems. Most MSR concepts are the variants evolved from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL's) molten-salt breeder reactor ...

Abstract: The nuclear industry has seen an increased use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technology as a high-fidelity tool for design-basis and beyond-design-basis accident simulations. Among its applications, CFD modeling ...
