NEUP CINR-18-14963: Development of Nuclear Hybrid Energy Systems: Temperature Amplification through Chemical Heat Pumps for Industrial Applications

Proposed research involves experimental and theoretical investigations of a chemical heat pump (CHP) system that can provide efficient temperature amplification, allowing the conventional LWRs and SMRs to support industrial process heat applications. Research outcomes will include nuclear hybrid energy system (NHES) architecture containing a CHP, experimental data on the CHP performance, and dynamic model of the system, validated through experimentation, that can be used for scale-up and design.
