Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a novel nuclear reactor coolant curved single-channel flow heat transfer characteristic experimental device, in particular to an experimental device for simulating the typical curved single-channel flow heat transfer characteristic of mixed reactor subcritical energy cladding coolant. It belongs to the field of new energy development of fusion-driven fission reactors, specifically, it belongs to the field of experimental technology necessary for the verification of thermal hydraulic design and the formulation of thermal safety rules. Background technique [0002] After the Fukushima nuclear accident in Japan, the safety of fission reactors has been questioned; coupled with the difficulty of waste disposal, limited fuel reserves and nuclear proliferation issues, fission nuclear reactors are difficult to meet the long-term energy needs of mankind. With the current technical conditions, pure deuterium-tritium fusion commercial nuc...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The existing device cannot simulate the flow and heat transfer characteristics of the subcritical cladding coolant curved channel driven by the ITER device under the condition of circumferential non-uniform heating. The experimental device needs to be redesigned to provide experimental support for the thermal design of subcritical energy reactors and the establishment of related criteria.
