(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The separate effects of surface wettability, porosity, and roughness on critical heat flux (CHF) and heat transfer coefficient (HTC) were examined using carefully-engineered surfaces. All test surfaces were prepared on ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)In ITER and in eventual reactors, enhanced impurity confinement due to internal transport barriers (ITBs) and H-mode operation establishes a very low tolerance for high-Z impurities [1]. Experiments have shown that impurity ...
