Proceedings ArticleDOI
Nanofluid Heat Transfer Enhancement for Nuclear Reactor Applications
Jacopo Buongiorno,Lin-Wen Hu +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarize the MIT research in this area with particular emphasis to boiling behavior, including, prominently, the Critical Heat Flux limit and quenching phenomena, with the goal of evaluating their benefits for and applicability to nuclear power systems (i.e., primary coolant, safety systems, severe accident mitigation strategies).
Journal ArticleDOI
Measurement of Key Pool Boiling Parameters in Nanofluids for Nuclear Applications
TL;DR: In this article, the authors have identified the important boiling parameters to be measured and deployed a pool boiling facility equipped with a thin indium-tin-oxide heater deposited over a sapphire substrate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flow boiling in vertical narrow microchannels of different surface wettability characteristics
TL;DR: In this article, an experimental investigation of saturated flow boiling in a high-aspect-ratio, one-sided heating rectangular microchannel was conducted with deionized water as the working fluid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bubble nucleation on nano- to micro-size cavities and posts: An experimental validation of classical theory
Sanjeeva Witharana,B. Phillips,Sebastian Strobel,Hyungdae Kim,Thomas J. McKrell,Jae-Byum Chang,Jacopo Buongiorno,Karl K. Berggren,Li Chen,Yulong Ding +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used infrared thermometry to measure the nucleation temperature of water on custom-fabricated nano-to micro-scale cavities (from 90nm to 4.5nm in diameter) and posts (from 60nm to 5μm in diameter), machined on ultra smooth and clean silicon wafers using electron beam lithography.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Offshore Floating Nuclear Plant Concept
TL;DR: In this paper, a new offshore floating nuclear plant (OFNP) concept with high potential for attractive economics and an unprecedented level of safety is presented, which creatively combines state-of-the-art light and power technologies.
