Thermal hydraulics of fusion-synfuel blankets
Conference
·
OSTI ID:5725475
Thermal hydraulic calculations are performed for two blanket designs for synfuel applications. Tradeoffs in temperature and pressure drop for the blanket design, i.e., log versus cylindrical shaped modules as well as flow across packed beds or along rods, are assessed. In either design the outer cooled stainless steel shell is maintained at approx. 300/sup 0/C while the high temperature steam-cooled region may reach 1400 to 1500/sup 0/C. Steam flow rates and pressure drops are found to be reasonable, as are the helium flow rates and pressure drops for the electric power production modules.
