dc.description.abstract | In this work a numerical simulation of the Energy Amplifier Demonstration Facility (EADF) [1, 2] downcomer channel is presented. The simulation is fully three-dimensional (3D) and is focused on a Steady-State Analysis. All relevant heat transfer phenomena are taken into account. The Intermediate Heat eXchangers (IHX) of the EADF reference configuration are immersed in the lead-bismuth eutectic of the downcomer and no physical barrier separates the hot and cold collectors. As expected, the simulation shows a thermal stratification outside the IHX, whose characteristics mainly depend on the IHX pressure loss. A parametric study of the effects of the IHX pressure loss coeficient on the thermal stratification pattern is presented. | IT |
