摘要
A thermal-hydraulics study of the core of the Molten Salt Fast Reactor (MSFR) is presented. The numerical simulations were carried-out using a Computation Fluid Dynamic code. The main objectives of the thermal-hydraulics studies are to design the core cavity walls in order to increase the overall flow mixing and to reduce the temperature peaking factors in the salt and on the core walls. The results of the CFD simulations show that for the chosen core design acceptable temperature distributions can be obtained by using a curved core cavity shape, inlets and outlets. The hot spot temperature is less than 10 degrees C above the average core outlet temperature and is located in the centre of the top wall of the core. The results show also a moderate level of sensitivity to the working point. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
