High temperature thermal hydraulics modeling of a molten salt: application to a molten salt fast reactor (MSFR) ***

An overview of the ongoing efforts in the area of the thermal hydraulics modeling of a Molten Salt Fast Reactor (MSFR) is presented. The MSFR employs a flowing liquid fuel based on a high temperature lithium fluoride salt. A molten salt flow can be considered in many situations as an incompressible...
