NEUP CINR-21-24183: Experimental investigation and development of models and correlations for cladding-to-coolant heat transfer phenomena in transient conditions in support of TREAT and the LWR fleet.

We will investigate thermal-hydraulics transient heat transfer phenomena of relevance for the safety and the operation of the TREAT and LWR reactors. We will elucidate the performance of ATF materials during RIA scenario and post-CHF and reflood scenarios, and develop models and correlations to be integrated into computational tools for the design and safety analysis of nuclear systems.
