    • Analysis Of Flow Instabilities In Supercritical Watercooled Nuclear Reactors 

      Zhao, J.; Saha, P.; Kazimi, Mujid S. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Advanced Nuclear Power Program, 2004-09)
      Near the supercritical thermodynamic point, coolant density is very sensitive to temperature which gives potential to several instabilities in the supercritical water-cooled nuclear reactors. The flow stability features ...

    • Design of Compact Intermediate Heat Exchangers for Gas Cooled Fast Reactors 

      Gezelius, K.; Driscoll, Michael J. ;; Hejzlar, Pavel (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Advanced Nuclear Power Program, 2004-05)
      Two aspects of an intermediate heat exchanger (IHX) for GFR service have been investigated: (1) the intrinsic characteristics of the proposed compact printed circuit heat exchanger (PCHE); and (2) a specific design ...

    • A Super Critical Carbon Dioxide Cycle for Next Generation Nuclear Reactors 

      Dostal, Vaclav; Driscoll, Michael J.; Hejzlar, Pavel (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Advanced Nuclear Power Program, 2004-03)
      A systematic, detailed major component and system design evaluation and multiple-parameter optimization under practical constraints has been performed of the family of supercritical CO[subscript 2] Brayton power cycles for ...
