Numerical simulation of ceramic breeder pebble bed thermal creep behavior
The evolution of ceramic breeder pebble bed thermal creep deformation subjected to an external load and a differential thermal stress was studied using a modified discrete numerical code previously developed for the pebble bed thermomechanical evaluation. The rate change of creep deformation was modeled at the particle contact based on a diffusion creep mechanism. Numerical results of strain hi...
متن کاملExperimental study of the interaction of ceramic breeder pebble beds with structural materials under thermo-mechanical loads
This paper presents the first results obtained in a facility constructed at the University of California, Los Angeles to study the interaction of ceramic breeder pebble beds with structural materials in conditions relevant to fusion energy power plant blanket operations. The experiments study the thermo-mechanical performance of lithium meta-titanate oxide (Li2TiO3) pebbles and silicon carbide ...
متن کاملApplication of discrete element method to study mechanical behaviors of ceramic breeder pebble beds
In this paper, the discrete element method (DEM) approach has been applied to study mechanical behaviors of ceramic breeder ebble beds. Directly simulating the contact state of each individual particle by the physically based interaction laws, the DEM umerical program is capable of predicting the mechanical behaviors of non-standard packing structures. The program can also rovide the data to tr...
متن کاملMit Pebble Bed Reactor Project
MIT has been developing a conceptual design for pebble bed reactors since approximately 1998, when a student design project concluded that in order to resurrect the nuclear power industry a new, innovative approach was needed, not only in reactor design but also in construction and operation. In their quest to identify the appropriate technology several key conclusions were reached. First was t...
متن کاملStudy on Pebble-Fluid Interaction Effect in Pebble Bed Reactors
INTRODUCTION In pebble bed reactors (PBRs), fuel pebbles containing TRISO particles continuously circulate within the core during operation, while the coolant fluid, either helium gas (in Pebble Bed Gas-cooled Reactors) or molten flibe salt (in Pebble Bed-Advanced High Temperature Reactors), continuously passes through the pebbles to transfer the heat generated by fission reactions out of the c...
