Investigation of Pressure-Tube and Calandria-Tube Deformation Following a Single Channel Blockage Event in ACR-700
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Advanced Nuclear Power Program, 2005-11)
The ACR-700 is an advanced pressure-tube (PT) reactor being developed by Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL). As in conventional CANDU reactors, the PTs are horizontal. Each PT is surrounded by a calandria tube (CT), ...
Critical Heat Flux Enhancement via Surface Modification Using Colloidal Dispersions of Nanoparticles (Nanofluids)
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Advanced Nuclear Power Program, 2008-06)
Nanofluids are engineered colloidal dispersions of nanoparticles (1-100nm) in common fluids
(water, refrigerants, or ethanol…). Materials used for nanoparticles include chemically stable
metals (e.g., gold, silver, ...
Thermal-Hydraulic Analysis of Innovative Fuel Configurations for the Sodium Fast Reactor
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Advanced Nuclear Power Program, 2009-08)
The sodium fast reactor (SFR) is currently being reconsidered as an instrument for
actinide management throughout the world, thanks in part to international programs such
as the Generation-IV and especially the Global ...
