The feasibility of the manufacturing of a printed circuit type heat exchanger produced from graphite
(North-West University, 2009)The development of high temperature heat exchangers will play a vital part in the success of High Temperature Nuclear Reactors (HTRs). Manufacturing such heat exchangers from metals is becoming increasingly difficult as ... -
The influence of thorium on the temperature reactivity coefficient in a 400 MWth pebble bed high temperature plutonium incinerator reactor
(2012)Social and environmental justice for a growing and developing global population requires significant increases in energy use. A possible means of contributing to this energy increase is to incinerate plutonium from spent ... -
Investigation into different 1D/3D thermal fluid co-simulation methodologies as applied to HTR system configurations
(North-West University (South Africa)., 2022)The current PhD research focuses on the investigation into different 1D/3D thermal fluid co-simulation methodologies as applied to HTR system configurations. For the modelling and simulation of complex systems, 1D/3D ... -
Optimisation criteria of a Rankine steam cycle powered by thorium HTR
(2014)HOLCIM has various cement production plants across India. These plants struggle to produce the projected amount of cement due to electricity shortages. Although coal is abundant in India, the production thereof is in ...
