Thermal-hydraulics of molten salt heat transfer based on similarity technology

• Development of similarity technique for molten salt: matching heat  transfer characteristics of molten salt based on Prandtl number
• Experimental studies on natural&forced circulation of molten salt simulant: investigation of flow and heat transfer characteristics of molten salt simulants (high Pr oil or heat transfer salt) along with visualization
• Numerical studies on design of advanced heat transport system using molten salt and molten salt simulants: Analysis of thermal-hydraulic performance of molten salt system (passive and active) using numerical tools; MARS and CFD codes
