Design of Chinese Modular High-temperature Gas-cooled Reactor Htr-pm

Modular high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (MHTGR) has distinct advantages in the sense of the inherent safety, economy property, high electricity efficiency, potential usage for hydrogen production, and etc. Chinese design of MHTGR, named as High Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor-Pebble bed Module (HTR-PM), based on the technology and experiences of the HTR-10, is under the standard design phase...

High-Temperature Membrane Reactor for Catalytic Gas-Solid Reactions

A mathematical model, based on the dusty-gas model extended with surface diffusion, is presented that describes mass transport owing to molecular diffusion and viscous flow, as well as an instantaneous reversible reaction inside a membrane reactor. The reactants are fed to opposite sides of the membrane, considering masstransfer resistances in the gas phase outside the membrane. The Claus react...

Tritium Production Analysis and Management Strategies for a Fluoride - salt - cooled High - temperature Test Reactor ( FHTR )

The Fluoride-salt-cooled High-temperature Test Reactor (FHTR) is a test reactor concept that aims to demonstrate the neutronics, thermal-hydraulics, materials, tritium management, and to address other reactor operational and maintenance issues before a commercial Fluoride-salt-cooled High-temperature Reactor (FHR) can be deployed. The MIT Nuclear Systems Design class proposed a design for a 100...

Two-Phase Flow Simulation of Gas Entrainment Phenomena in Large-Scale Experimental Model of Sodium-Cooled Fast Reactor

The authors have been developed a high-precision and high-performance numerical simulation algorithm for gas-liquid two-phase flows to simulate the gas entrainment (GE) phenomena in a large-sized sodium-cooled fast reactor in Japan (JSFR). In the simulation algorithm, the piecewise linear interface reconstruction (PLIC) algorithm is employed for the interface-tracking and physics-basis simulati...
