연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

A flow exchange element is presented which lowers temperature gradients in fuel elements and reduces maximum local temperature within high temperature gas-cooled reactors. The flow exchange element is inserted within a column of fuel elements where it serves to redirect coolant flow. Coolant which has been flowing in a hotter region of the column is redirected to a cooler region, and coolant which has been flowing in the cooler region of the column is redirected to the hotter region. The safety, efficiency, and longevity of the high temperature gas-coole...

1. In a gas-cooled nuclear reactor having a pressure vessel, a core disposed within said pressure vessel, said core having a plurality of fuel elements arranged in an array wherein hotter and cooler regions exist at different radial locations at any vertical level within said core, the combination comprising a plurality of prism-shaped nuclear fuel elements, each having an upper face, a lower face, vertical sidewalls and a plurality of vertical coolant passageways extending between its upper and lower faces and interior of its sidewalls through which coolant gas flows, said array including a plurality of stacks of said fuel elements with said vertical passageways in upper elements of each stack being aligned and vertical passageways in lower elements of each stack being aligned, and in at least some of said stacks flow-exchange means disposed between said upper stacked fuel elements and said lower stacked fuel elements, said flow exchange means each having a top face, a bottom face, vertical sidewalls and a plurality of non-intersecting passageways extending between its top face and its bottom face and within its sidewalls, each of said plurality of non-intersecting passageways connecting a coolant passageway in the next upper fuel element to a coolant passageway in the next lower fuel element, at least some of said connecting passageways in said flow-exchange means being disposed at an angle to the vertical for shifting the coolant flow between a vertical passageway at one side of the next upper fuel element and a vertical passageway at another side of the next lower fuel element. 2. A combination in accordance with claim 1 in which some of said passageways in said flow-exchange block are inclined to shift the coolant flow from one side of the stack to another, and others of said passageways in said flow-exchange means are axially aligned for straight-through flow of coolant between said upper and lower stacked fuel elements. 3. A combination in accordance with claim 1 in which some of said passageways in said flow-exchange means are inclined to shift the coolant flow through approximately 180 degrees, and others of said passageways are axially aligned for straight-through flow of coolant between said upper and lower stacked fuel elements. 4. A combination according to claim 1 wherein each of said flow exchange means comprises a prism-shaped block having coolant flow passageways extending therethrough from a top face of said block to a bottom face of said block, each block passageway having an entrance at the top face and an entrance at the bottom face, a plurality of said block passageways being inclined to the vertical to divert coolant flowing between a passageway at one side of one vertically adjacent fuel element and a passageway at another side of the other vertically adjacent fuel element. 5. A combination in accordance with claim 1 wherein said upper and lower fuel elements are in the shape of hexagonal prisms and wherein said each of said flow-exchange means comprises a block in the shape of a regular hexagonal prism having passageways that each extend therethrough between an entrance at the top face of said block and an entrance at the bottom face of said block, said entrances being arranged in concentric hexagonal rows on the top face and on the bottom face, a plurality of said passageways being non-shift passageways extending vertically through said block with top and bottom entrances vertically aligned, and a plurality of passageways being shift passageways extending at an angle through the block to convey coolant from one side of said block to another side of said block. 6. The combination in accordance with claim 5 further characterized in that each of said passageways having entrances on the outermost of the hexagonal rows of entrances is a shift passageway. 7. The combination in accordance with claim 5 further characterized in that each passageway having entrances on the outermost row is a shift passageway and each passageway having entrances on the innermost row is a non-shift passageway. 8. The combination in accordance with claim 5 further characterized in that each shift passageway extends parallel to the perimeter of said block along a constant slope. 9. In a gas-cooled nuclear reactor having a pressure vessel, a core disposed with said pressure vessel and a means for flowing cooling gas vertically through said core, said core comprising a plurality of prime-shaped fuel elements each having an upper face, a lower face, vertical sidewalls and a plurality of passageways extending vertically between said upper face and said lower face and within said sidewalls, a plurality of prism-shaped heat exchange blocks each having an top face, a bottom face, vertical sidewalls and a plurality of non-intersecting passageways extending between its top face and its bottom face and within its sidewalls, at least a portion of said block passageways being flow-exchange passageways opening to said top and bottom faces on different sides, said fuel elements being arranged in said core in a plurality of stacks of prism-shaped fuel elements with the vertical passageways of vertically stacked elements aligned and with the array of stacks providing hotter and cooler radial locations at any vertical level with said core, at least some of said stacks containing at least one flow-exchange block disposed between upper and lower stacked fuel elements, each passageway through said block communicating a passageway of the fuel element stacked thereabove with a passageway of the fuel element stacked therebelow, each of said flow-exchange passageways shifting coolant gas flow between aligned vertical passageways at one side of stacked upper fuel elements and aligned vertical passageways at another side of stacked lower fuel elements. 10. In a nuclear reactor having a pressure vessel, a core disposed within said pressure vessel and a means for flowing coolant gas vertically to said core, said core comprising a plurality of hexagonal prism-shaped fuel elements each having an upper face, a lower face, vertical sidewalls and a plurality of vertical passageways extending between said upper face and said lower face and within said sidewalls, said passageways being arranged in concentric hexagonal rows, a plurality of flow-exchange blocks each in the shape of a hexagonal prism having a top face, a bottom face, vertical sidewalls and a plurality of non-intersecting passageways extending from its top face to its bottom face within its sidewalls, said block passageways being arranged in concentric hexagonal rows, the passageways in inner rows extending vertically between said top face and said bottom face, the passageways in at least the outermost row extending at an angle through the block to open on said bottom face along one side of said block and to open at said top face along another side of said block, said fuel elements being arranged in said core in a plurality of stacks of fuel elements, the vertical passageways of stacked fuel elements being aligned, the array of stacks providing hotter and cooler radial locations within said core, and at least some of said stacks of fuel elements containing at least one of said flow-exchange blocks disposed between upper and lower stacked fuel elements, each passageway of said flow-exchange block communicating a passage of the fuel element stacked thereabove with a passageway of the fuel element stacked therebelow, each of said angled passageway shifting coolant gas flow between aligned vertical passageways at one side of stacked upper fuel elements and aligned vertical passageways at another side of stacked lower fuel elements.
