Modelling the effective thermal conductivity in the near–wall region of a packed pebble bed
(North-West University, 2009)
Inherent safety is claimed for gas-cooled pebble bed reactors, such as the South African Pebble Bed Modular Reactor (PBMR), as a result of its design characteristics, materials used, fuel type and physics involved. Therefore, ...
Multi-quadrant performance simulation for subsonic axial flow compressors
(North-West University, 2007)
The emergence of closed-loop Brayton cycle power plants, such as the PBMR, resulted in the need to simulate start-up transients for industrial multi-stage axial flow compressors operating at subsonic conditions. This implies ...
