Abstract: Reactor coolant pump (RCP) is one of the most important equipment of the coolant loop in a pressurized water reactor system. Its safety relies on the characteristics of the rotordynamic system. For a canned motor RCP, the ...

Abstract: The separation efficiency of a vane-type separator is greatly affected by swirl instability. The separator consists of a swirling vane, a recovery vane and a main pipe. Driven by centrifugal force, the bubbly flow tends ...

Abstract: The gas–liquid separator is a key component in the gas removal system in thorium molten salt reactor (TMSR). In this paper, an experimental study focusing on the gas core formation in the gas–liquid separator was carried ...
