Abstract: This investigation is devoted to evaluating the thermal hydraulics behavior of sodium-based (Na) miniature heat sinks. The investigated geometrical parameters cover a range of 0.143–1 for heat sink aspect ratios, 0.267–21.7 mm ...

Abstract: Accident analysis and ensuring power plant safety are pivotal in the nuclear energy sector. Significant strides have been achieved over the past few decades regarding fire protection and safety, primarily centered on design ...

Abstract: The present work provides a reliable computational framework to investigate the laminar and turbulent forced convection of sodium and sodium–potassium (Na, NaK) in small-scale heat sinks with hydraulic diameters between 1 ...

Abstract: Understanding the estuarine turbulent flow from dams, channels, and pipes, as well as the river flow are very important due to the potential to cause damage to the bed of the river or channel and cause scouring of structures ...

Abstract: An analytical expression for turbulent kinematic viscosity (νt), based solely on the hydraulic Reynolds number (Re), was derived and evaluated. The analytical expression is valid for the fast estimation of νt for internal, ...

Abstract: The intermittency of renewable power generation systems on the low carbon electric grid can be alleviated by using nuclear systems as quasi-storage systems. Nuclear air-Brayton systems can produce and store hydrogen when ...

Abstract: The aim of this study is to examine the effects of Reynolds number (Re = 6000–20,000) on mean and turbulent quantities as well as turbulent structures in the near and intermediate regions of equilateral triangular and round ...
