Abstract :
Oneoftheuniquefeaturesofthepebblebedmodularreactor(PBMR)isitsloadfollowingcapability,enabledbyextractingorinjectingofheliumfromortothesystemduringoperation. Fillingthetankswithaheatsinkwouldreducethenecessarygasstorageareadramatically.Theheatsinkwouldabsorbtheenergythatthehotgascontainsandconsequentlythegaswouldexperienceadecreaseintemperature.Thisimpliesthatthedensityofthegaswillincreaseandallowmoreheliumtobestoredinthesametankbeforethetankʹsmaximumoperatingpressureisreached. Acomputationalfluiddynamics(CFD)studyindicatedthattheheatsinkinfactreducedthetotalpressureinthetanksignificantly. Thelargeheattransferareathattheheatsinkprovidesensuresthatthiskindofsystemhasaquickthermalresponse.Inordertomakeoptimaluseofthisadvantage,thegasmustbedistributedevenlythroughoutthetankandnolocalhigh-temperatureregionsmustoccur.Afewinjectionconceptswereinvestigatedtooptimiseforthisrequirement.
