Heat transfer and flow characteristics of a cooling thimble in a molten salt reactor residual heat removal system

In the passive residual heat removal system of a molten salt reactor, one of the residual heat removal methods is to use the thimble-type heat transfer elements of the drain salt tank to remove the residual heat of fuel salts. An experimental loop is designed and built with a single heat transfer el...
