Boiling heat transfer on a simulated nuclear fuel rod with annular fins
This work describes an improved design for a nuclear fuel rod, which was developed using an experimental circuit that simulates the nuclear rod environment in a pressurized water reactor (PWR). The heat exchanger circuit runs atmospheric to high-pressure boiling water through an annular finned tube (153 fins), which is used to enhance confined heat transfer rates and guide the nucleate boiling ...
متن کاملParametric study of the influence of cooling channel dimensions on PEM fuel cell thermal performance
In a polymer membrane fuel cell more than half of the chemical energy of hydrogen is converted to heat during generation of electricity. This causes an increase in the cell temperature. The Cooling field design has a significant role in cell cooling. The cell's performance and stability are reduced due to inappropriate heat dissipation. In this paper, the cooling flow and heat transfer in cooli...
متن کاملLarge-Scale Simulations on Thermal-Hydraulics in Fuel Bundles of Advanced Nuclear Reactors
In order to predict the water-vapor two-phase flow dynamics in a fuel bundle of an advanced light-water reactor, large-scale numerical simulations were performed using a highly parallel-vector supercomputer, the earth simulator. Although conventional analysis methods such as subchannel codes and system analysis codes need composition equations based on the experimental data, it is difficult to ...
متن کاملCfd Study on Coolant Mixing in Vver-440 Fuel Rod Bundles and Fuel Assembly Heads
A CFD model of VVER-440 fuel assembly heads was developed based on the technical documentation of a full-scale test facility built in the Kurchatov Institute, Moscow. Steady-state and transient calculations were performed to validate the model with a measurement set and investigate the effects of the spatial discretization, choosing of different turbulence models and use of different inlet boun...
