The design and calibration of a new differential calorimetric dedicated to nuclear heating measurements
Nuclear heating rates are key parameters for the design of materials irradiation experiments. A novel mobile differential calorimeter (CAMORE) has been designed and tested for the High Flux Engineering Test Reactor (HFETR). Monte Carlo simulations and 3D Computational Fluid Dynamics are used for structural and thermal design, and stainless steel was chosen as the sample material to have best precision. An inner electrical heating assembly up to 30 W is set inside the CAMORE to simulate the nuclear heating. The performance of the manufactured calorimeter have been tested in lab, the thermal response sensitivity of 35.57°C·g·W–1 (@ 3 W·g−1) have been achieved, and adhering to safety temperature constraints. The calibration curves are obtained using the electrical heating, the difference between the sample and reference cell is less than 2 %, which are well agreed with simulations, confirming the suitability for measuring nuclear heating rates within the reactor.
期刊介绍:
Annals of Nuclear Energy provides an international medium for the communication of original research, ideas and developments in all areas of the field of nuclear energy science and technology. Its scope embraces nuclear fuel reserves, fuel cycles and cost, materials, processing, system and component technology (fission only), design and optimization, direct conversion of nuclear energy sources, environmental control, reactor physics, heat transfer and fluid dynamics, structural analysis, fuel management, future developments, nuclear fuel and safety, nuclear aerosol, neutron physics, computer technology (both software and hardware), risk assessment, radioactive waste disposal and reactor thermal hydraulics. Papers submitted to Annals need to demonstrate a clear link to nuclear power generation/nuclear engineering. Papers which deal with pure nuclear physics, pure health physics, imaging, or attenuation and shielding properties of concretes and various geological materials are not within the scope of the journal. Also, papers that deal with policy or economics are not within the scope of the journal.
