Dual change-of-phase in forced flow on a finite wall, with application to SLSF safety analysis

Description: An important study related to the safety analysis of Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactors (LMFBRs) is to understand the phenomena of molten fuel relocation and refreezing on the core cold structures following a hypothesized loss-of-flow accident (LOFA). An assessment of molten fuel containment capability for the Sodium Loop Safety Facility (SLSF) in-pile experiments following a postulated LOFA is presented, considering the conditions of molten fuel flow, simultaneous melting in the outer duct wal… more

Prediction of LOFT core fluid conditions during blowdown and refill

Description: One of the primary objectives of the LOFT (Loss-of-Fluid Test) Program is to provide data required to evaluate and improve the analytical methods currently used to predict the LOCA (Loss-of-Coolant Accident) response of large pressurized water reactors. The purpose of the paper is to describe the computer modeling methods used in predicting the fluid conditions in the LOFT core during the blowdown and refill phases of a nuclear LOCE (Loss-of-Coolant Experiment). Prediction results for a LOFT no… more

Low-pressure-ratio regenerative exhaust-heated gas turbine. Final report

Description: A design study of coal-burning gas-turbine engines using the exhaust-heated cycle and state-of-the-art components has been completed. In addition, some initial experiments on a type of rotary ceramic-matrix regenerator that would be used to transfer heat from the products of coal combustion in the hot turbine exhaust to the cool compressed air have been conducted. Highly favorable results have been obtained on all aspects on which definite conclusions could be drawn.

LOFT isothermal and nuclear experiment results

Description: Results from the isothermal and nuclear loss-of-coolant experiments (LOCE) conducted in the Loss-of-Fluid Test (LOFT) facility are presented. The LOFT experiments have furnished thermal-hydraulic data from transients which are similar in nature and duration to those in a large pressurized water reactor (PWR) during a postulated loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA). The results are discussed in the order of system blowdown, core thermal response, and emergency core cooling performance and effectivene… more

Results of semiscale pumps on/off experiments

Description: Six experiments were conducted in the Semiscale Mod-3 system to investigate the effect of primary coolant pump operation on thermal-hydraulic behavior during a small break loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA). They were three cold leg break and three hot leg break experiments. The break size simulated was 2.5% (of cold leg pipe flow area), representing a circular opening in the side of a PWR pipe of approximately 11 cm. For each of the experiments, emergency core coolant (ECC) was injected into the … more

Interstellar propulsion using a pellet stream for momentum transfer

Description: A pellet-stream concept for interstellar propulsion is described. Small pellets are accelerated in the solar system and accurately guided to an interstellar probe where they are intercepted and transfer momentum. This propulsion system appears to offer orders-of-magnitude improvements in terms of engineering simplicity and power requirements over any other known feasible system for transport over interstellar distance in a time comparable to a human lifespan.
