Experimental Investigation in Improving Thermal Performance of Passive Heat Removal System using Mist Assisted Evaporative Cooling

Abstract

Demands to increase the safety and reliability of the modern nuclear reactors are constantly being made. Typical demands include the increases the thermal performance of the passive heat removal system PHRS by removing larger amounts of energy and applied a technique that leads to reduce size and weight of the PHRS unit. This article presents an experimental investigation on the natural convection based on alternative cooling approach using water mist. The results obtained from the related experimental work indicated that the heat transfer rate was enhanced over that for the airflow as a result of water mist evaporation on the surface of the tubes. The Nu number increases by about 148%, 144%, and 128% respectively for all tube rows compared with airflow. The experimental results of the thermal performance factor values obtained by suspended water mist were correlated as functions of Rayleigh number (Ra) and Weber number (We). Subsequently, the predicted thermal performance factor from the correlation was plotted to compare with the experimental data. It was found that the thermal performance factor was within ±11%.

Allotropy of selenium nanoparticles: Colourful transition, synthesis, and biotechnological applications

“…In addition, green chemistry is gaining attention as a hybrid and safe method based on the use of environmentally benign solvents and non‐toxic reducing agents. For instance, silver NPs have been synthesized using several green solvents such as water, polyethylene glycol (PEG) and β‐D‐glucose as reducing agent (Shameli et al, 2012 ; Shanan Abed et al, 2019 ). Despite all the advances that have been made with regards to physico‐chemically methods, the biosynthesis of Se 0 by non‐pathogenic microorganisms is gaining attention in the last years as an eco‐friendly, non‐toxic, and cheaper procedure to safely produce nanoparticles (Salunke et al, 2014 ; Wadhwani et al, 2016 ).…”

[32][33][34][35] However, by adjusting a number of synthesis-related parameters, the synthesis conditions for the present reaction were optimized.…”

Effects of Upper-Side Inclination Angle on Aerodynamic Loads of a Golf Cart using 3D CFD

“…These advantages include cost and time savings for new design iterations, the ability to study systems where experiments are difficult to control, such as very large systems, the capability to investigate systems under hazardous conditions, such as safety studies and accident scenarios, making CFD a safer alternative, virtually unlimited detail in the obtained results [16]. Research using the CFD simulation method has also succeeded in solving many cases, including Hadi et al, [17], Bajuri et al, [18], Jena and Gairola [19], Bahambary and Fleck [20], and Kamal et al, [21].…”
