With the development of the fourth-generation nuclear power technology, heat pipe cooled
reactor (HPCR) plays an important role in achieving carbon neutrality and actively and …

Heat pipe cooled reactors experience temperature rises of up to 800 K during startup. The in-
core heat pipes and the energy conversion system are initially frozen, which leads to a …

Heat pipes continuously transport the latent heat of vaporization from the evaporator to the
condenser in the heat pipes due to the capillary pressure created by the menisci in the wick …

Due to unexpected gas leakage and long-term operation, the non-condensable gas (NCG)
inevitably exists in high-temperature alkali metal heat pipe. Previous studies have mainly …

With superior inherent safety and low maintenance demand, heat pipe cooled micro-reactor
is a potential solution for decentralized remote electricity supply, as well as space power …

Heat pipe cooled reactor has wide application prospects in space environment because of
the advantages of high reliability and small mass. Heat Pipe-Segmented Thermoelectric …

To reduce the use of cutting fluid, the concept of transforming the tool or holder into an
automatic heat dissipation device was proposed. A novel structure of pulsating heat pipe self …

Heat pipe cooled reactors passively transfer heat from the core to the energy conversion
system through alkali metal heat pipes. Further studies of the heat transfer characteristics of …

Non-uniform loads are widely present in heat pipe applications and have significant effects
on their performance. In this work, a transient 3D CFD model is developed to investigate the …

High-temperature heat pipes are often used as heat exchangers in nuclear reactors
because of their remarkable advantages in terms of thermal conductivity, isothermal …
