Thermal Hydraulic Performance Characteristics of EBWR (0 to 100 Mwt)

Description: The modifications of the EBWR internals for operation at higher power included: redesign of riser, relocation and resizing of feed-water injection ring and inlet nozzle, enclosing the core with a cylindrical shell and providing a tight closure between riser and core, and redesign of the steam-discharge system. The volume fraction of steam voids, recirculation flow rate, subcooling, liquid level, steam carryunder in downcomer, and liquid carryover in effluent stream were determined. Instrumentat… more

Performance Characteristics of a Liquid Metal MHD Generator

Description: Report issued by the Argonne National Laboratory discussing the performance of magnetohydrodynamic generators. As stated in the abstract, "an experimental study was made of the performance characteristics of a liquid metal MHD generator utilizing single-phase sodium-potassium and two-phase sodium-potassium-nitrogen fluids. The purpose of this study was to compare the generator performance with theory for single-phase flow and to determine the effects of the introduction of the gaseous phase on … more
