NEUP CINR-21-24287: Investigating heat transfer in horizontally oriented HTGR under normal and PCC conditions

Experimental research will be conducted to understand heat transfer inside graphite matrix of horizontal microscale High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactors (HTGRs). The existing high temperature test facilities at KSU and CCNY will be used to simulate normal operation and Pressurized Conduction Cooldown (PCC). The focus of these experiments is to generate benchmark data under forced and natural convection with coupled multi-mode heat transfer in scaled-down prismatic blocks.
