Self-evaporating metal magnetic fluid integrated reactor

Abstract

The invention discloses a self-evaporating metal magnetic fluid integrated reactor. The reactor internally comprises a reactor pressure vessel, a reactor internal component, a reactor core, an internal magnet, a starter motor and a turbine, wherein the reactor pressure vessel consists of a nearly cylindrical cylinder body, a cover body with which the top of the cylinder body is covered and a bottom sealing head supported at the bottom of the cylinder body. The reactor externally comprises an outer magnet, a rotating drum control rod, a heat pipe radiator and a shielding structure. The reactoris applicable to fast reactors and also applicable to other persistent heat sources such as isotope heat sources; meanwhile, the structural size and output power of the reactor can be adjusted in a large range.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of space small-scale nuclear power devices, and in particular relates to an integrated micro-reactor of self-evaporating metal magnetic fluid with full-environment automatic circulation capability. Background technique [0002] As the clean energy that is most likely to achieve large-scale and stable power generation, nuclear energy is one of the important ways to alleviate the contradiction between the environment and energy demand. The key to the application of nuclear energy lies in its safety. With the development of nuclear power technology, third-generation and fourth-generation nuclear power systems generally have passive safety features such as natural circulation of full power or partial power, and passive waste heat discharge. [0003] At the same time, with the expansion of the scope of human space exploration and the extension of exploration time, it has become an important requirement for space ...

Problems solved by technology

However, the thermocouple conversion device has poor radiation resistance and low energy conversion efficiency - to achieve high conversion efficiency, it must have a very high hot end temperature. Therefore, Europe, the United States and my country are also vigorously promoting the Stirling cycle. Research on energy conversion methods such as closed Brayton cycle; the latter has high energy conversion efficiency, but as an energy conversion unit, compared with a thermocouple, the equipment per unit conversion power has a larger mass, a more complicated mechanical structure, and more moving parts. Many, especially closed Brayton cycles
