Advanced high temperature sodium cooled receiver design

In this paper, receiver designs for 3D printing are analyzed by CFD calculations that are based on Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) steady state simulations. The results show the surface and channel temperatures as well as dimensionless values to analyze the characteristics of the sodium flow....

Zusammenfassung:In this paper, receiver designs for 3D printing are analyzed by CFD calculations that are based on Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) steady state simulations. The results show the surface and channel temperatures as well as dimensionless values to analyze the characteristics of the sodium flow. Helical installations induce a rotational flow inside the channels and enhance the heat transfer. For larger scale receivers, “Cold spray” is described as an additive manufacturing process.
