Abstract A heat pipe module was developed for the thermal hydraulics system code AC2/ATHLET to facilitate the analysis of heat pipe cooled-reactor concepts. The tool enables the transient simulation of liquid metal heat pipes. For validation, an experiment with a potassium heat pipe was successfully simulated. The simulation with different angles of inclination from horizontal to vertical is possible.
Abstract The heat pipe code Sockeye, led by Idaho National Laboratory and funded by the Nuclear Energy Advanced Modeling and Simulation program of the U.S. Department of Energy, provides engineering-scale models of high-temperature heat pipes for use in nuclear microreactors. Sockeye has three heat pipe models, referre...
A study and analysis of the heat flow in the enclosing structure have been carried out. The results of actual and theoretical values of thermo-technical characteristics are given. The main problems arising in the thermotechnical calculations are presented.

The thermal-hydraulic performance of a multi-stage sudden expanded channel design for Earth-Air Heat Exchanger (EAHE) application is explored in this study. The computational analysis is based on a horizontal cross-section model composed of a series of large (diameter 0.1 m) and small (diameter 0.05 m) cylindrical sect...
