Download or read book Design of an HTGR for High-temperature Process Heat Applications written by and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) offers a unique heat source for process heat applications since its operating temperature is substantially higher than that of other types of nuclear reactors. This paper discusses a design study of an advanced 842-MW(t) very high temperature reactor (VHTR) coupled with a chemical process whose product is hydrogen (or a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide) generated by steam reforming of a light hydrocarbon mixture. A key feature of the plant is the nuclear reactor core, which utilizes helium as its primary coolant, has ceramic-coated fuel particles containing uranium and thorium, and employs graphite as the moderator and structural material. As in other HTGR designs, the VHTR has its entire primary coolant system contained in a prestressed concrete reactor vessel (PCRV) which provides the necessary biological shielding and pressure containment. The high-temperature nuclear thermal energy is transported to the externally located process plant by a secondary helium transport loop. In addition to providing the thermal driving potential required for the reforming process, the nuclear heat is also used to generate high-temperature, high-pressure steam to satisfy both the process and electrical generation needs for the operation of the nuclear plant and reforming process plant.

Download or read book Modeling the High-temperature Gas-cooled Reactor Process Heat Plant written by and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The high-temperature heat available from the High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor (HTGR) makes it suitable for many process applications. One of these applications is a large-scale energy production plant where nuclear energy is converted into chemical energy and stored for industrial or utility applications. This concept combines presently available nuclear HTGR technology and energy conversion chemical technology. The design of this complex plant involves questions of interacting plant dynamics and overall plant control. This paper discusses how these questions were answered with the aid of a hybrid computer model that was developed within the time-frame of the conceptual design studies. A brief discussion is given of the generally good operability shown for the plant and of the specific potential problems and their anticipated solution. The paper stresses the advantages of providing this information in the earliest conceptual phases of the design.

This book was released on 1975 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The high-temperature gas-cooled nuclear reactor (HTGR) is an attractive potential source of primary energy for many industrial and chemical process applications. Significant modification of current HTGR core design will be required to achieve the required elevations in exit gas temperatures without exceeding the maximum allowable temperature limits for the fuel material. A preliminary evaluation of the effects of various proposed design modifications by predicting the resulting fuel and gas temperatures with computer calculational modeling techniques is reported. The design modifications evaluated are generally those proposed by the General Atomic Company (GAC), a manufacturer of HTGRs, and some developed at the LASL. The GAC modifications do result in predicted fuel and exit gas temperatures which meet the proposed design objectives. (auth).

This book was released on 2008 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The U.S. Department of Energy's Generation IV Program has generated considerable interest for High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactors (HTGR), in particular, the Very-High-Temperature Reactor (VHTR). VHTR is one of the six reactor concepts selected by the Generation IV International Forum and is anticipated to be reactor type for the Next Generation Nuclear Plant (NGNP). The VHTR concept, with a projected plant design service life of 60 years, is being actively researched not only due to its near-term deployment potential but also because it offers a broad range of process heat applications ranging from electricity generation to hydrogen co-generation. To efficiently and reliably transfer the thermal output from the reactor core, VHTRs require high temperature (900-950 0C) and high integrity heat exchangers with high effectiveness during normal and off-normal conditions. A class of compact plate-type heat exchangers, namely, Printed Circuit Heat Exchangers (PCHEs), made of high-temperature materials and found to have these above characteristics are being increasingly pursued for heavy duty applications. The current thesis work is a part of a larger research project aimed at investigating the design, fabrication, testing, modeling, and optimization of PCHEs at operating temperatures proposed to be realized in VHTRs. In the present work, two PCHEs were designed and fabricated. In addition, a detailed design of a high-temperature helium test facility to test the thermal-hydraulic performance of these PCHEs was completed. Owing to the high operating temperatures and pressures, a detailed investigation on various high-temperature materials was carried out to aid in the design of the test facility and the heat exchangers. The study showed that Alloys 617 and 230 are the leading candidate materials for high-temperature applications. However, economics and material availability in the required form dictated the final design operating conditions. The helium test facility is of Alloy 800HT construction and is currently being constructed at The Ohio State University. It is intended to facilitate experiments at operating temperatures and pressures up to 900 0C and 3 MPa, respectively. Two PCHEs, each having 10 hot and 10 cold plates with 12 channels in each plate, were fabricated using Alloy 617 plates. In addition, the processes related to the fabrication of PCHEs, namely photochemical machining and diffusion bonding techniques were investigated and successfully established for Alloy 617 plates. The PCHEs will be tested in the helium test facility for their heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics at various operating temperatures and pressures. The experimental database generated from the test facility will then be used for model development and computer code validation. In summary, the current thesis focuses on the study of the high-temperature materials, design of the helium test facility, design, development, and fabrication of the high-temperature PCHEs.
