High-Efficiency Axial Pumps for Reactor Use

  • Published:
Russian Engineering Research Aims and scope

Abstract

The flow of viscous liquid in highly efficient commercial axial pumps is hydrodynamically analyzed. Design recommendations are made regarding the flow sections of the pump, so as to ensure a pressure characteristic with no descending section and efficient coolant circulation in a fast-neutron reactor.
