Abstract: A thermal hydraulic model is developed for a solid pin-fueled fluoride-salt-cooled small modular advanced high temperature reactor (SmAHTR). This preconceptual SmAHTR was developed by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory ...

Abstract: Studies in the literature have shown that zeotropic mixture condensation rates are lower than those predicted using a purefluid approach. This has been attributed to the decrease in fluid temperature that occurs with ...

Abstract: The effect of temperature difference (Tsat − Tcoolant) on condensation heat transfer coefficients inside horizontal tubes is investigated in detail. Condensation experiments are conducted on propane inside a 7.75 mm ...

Abstract: Machine learning (ML) offers a variety of techniques to understand many complex problems in different fields. The field of heat transfer, and thermal systems in general, are governed by complicated sets of physics that can ...

Abstract: The performance of an adsorption heat pump is a function of the equilibrium uptake and diffusion resistances of a particular system, which determines the refrigerant throughput during a cycle. Previous studies have sought ...

Abstract: An experimental study on the flow of a highly viscous fluid through small diameter orifices was conducted. Pressure drops were measured for each of nine orifices, including orifices of nominal diameter 0.5, 1, and 3 mm and ...

Abstract: Fluoride-salt-cooled high-temperature reactors (FHRs) are an emerging category of next generation reactors. A thermal hydraulic modeling tool that can perform fluid flow and heat transfer analyses in the core region of the ...

Abstract: Numerous investigations have been conducted to extend adiabatic liquid–gas volumeoffluid (VOF) flow solvers to include condensation phenomena by adding an energy equation and phasechange source terms. Some proposed ...

Abstract: An experimental investigation of heat and mass transfer in a fallingfilm absorber with microchannel tube arrays was conducted. Liquid ammonia–water solution flows in a fallingfilm mode around an array of small diameter ...

Abstract: Passive, heat actuated ejector pumps offer simple and energyefficient options for a variety of end uses with no electrical input or moving parts. In an effort to obtain insights into ejector flow phenomena and to evaluate ...
