Download or read book Reduction of Pressure tube written by Atomic Energy of Canada Limited and published by Pinawa, Man. : Whiteshell Laboratories. This book was released on 1992 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One way to increase the passive safety of a CANDU pressurized heavy water reactor is to decrease the contact conductance between the pressure and calandria tubes during loss of coolant situations. Such a decrease would help prevent the calandria tube from going into film boiling. This report summarizes the results of a test to demonstrate the degree of reduction in the contact conductance. The test incorporated a wire screen in the fuel channel annulus next to the inner surface of the calandria tube. It had been suggested that the screen would effectively reduce the heat transfer rate during pressure tube/calandria tube contact and the calandria tube would remain in nucleate boiling. As a control in the test, part of the experimental assembly did not have a screen between the pressure and the calandria tubes. The results reported compare the performance of the control and screen-equipped sections of the experimental assembly.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation The 41 papers of this proceedings volume were first presented at the 13th symposium on Zirconium in the Nuclear Industry held in Annecy, France in June of 2001. Many of the papers are devoted to material related issues, corrosion and hydriding behavior, in-reactor studies, and the behavior and properties of Zr alloys used in storing spent fuel. Some papers report on studies of second phase particles, irradiation creep and growth, and material performance during loss of coolant and reactivity initiated accidents.

Download or read book Simplified contact and gap conductance models for wavy pressure tube surfaces written by J. W. Devaal and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ridge-like waviness that forms on pressure tube surfaces during high temperature ballooning is idealized as a sinusoidal waveform, and a simplified model for predicting the thermal conductance when the pressure tube contacts its calandria tube is presented. the calandria tube is modelled as a smooth surface, and the extent of contact between these two surfaces is determined by either elastic or plastic deformation of the surface material near the waveform crests. once the width of the contact strips is known, thermal models are applied to this geometry to determine the contact, gap, and radiative components of the total joint conductance. the work described in this report was funded by the cog - candev program: work package no. 482.

This book was released on 2013-09-24 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work covers both theoretical and practical aspects of thermal contact conductance. The theoretical discussion focuses on heat transfer through spots, joints, and surfaces, as well as the role of interstitial materials (both planned and inadvertent). The practical discussion includes formulae and data that can be used in designing heat-transfer equipment for a variety of joints, including special geometries and configurations. All of the material has been updated to reflect the latest advances in the field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The construction of nuclear power plants in the United States is stopping, as regulators, reactor manufacturers, and operators sort out a host of technical and institutional problems. This volume summarizes the status of nuclear power, analyzes the obstacles to resumption of construction of nuclear plants, and describes and evaluates the technological alternatives for safer, more economical reactors. Topics covered include: Institutional issues-including regulatory practices at the federal and state levels, the growing trends toward greater competition in the generation of electricity, and nuclear and nonnuclear generation options. Critical evaluation of advanced reactors-covering attributes such as cost, construction time, safety, development status, and fuel cycles. Finally, three alternative federal research and development programs are presented.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This excellent volume combines a great deal of data only previously available from many different sources into a single, informative volume. It presents evaporation technology as it exists today. Although evaporation is one of the oldest unit operations, it is also an area with dramatic changes in the last quarter century. Although other methods of separation are available, evaporation remains the best process for many applications. All factors must be evaluated in order to select the best evaporator type. This book will be extremely useful in evaluating and deciding which evaporation technology will meet a particular set of requirements.
