Multiphysics Simulation and Thermal Characterization of VVER-1200 Steam Generator for Optimized Heat Transfer and Structural Integrity
Abstract: VVER-1200 is a Russian design reactor which consist of Two circuits comprising reactor core, piping, vertical steam generator, pressurizer, active and passive safety systems, turbine and generator. This reactor involves single phase flow from reactor core to steam generator (SG) where high pressurized water exchanges heat with normal water resulting in steam production. The flow is turbulent, which enables maximum efficiency to heat transfer. Using ANSYS Workbench's multi-physics simulation capabilities, …

Development of a Sustainable Mini Powerhouse for a Micro Steam Power Plant
Abstract: This study outlines the steps taken to sustain and relocate a mini powerhouse for a 5 kW steam power plant, addressing previous structural and environmental inefficiencies. Due to corrosion, instability, and inadequate thermal management at the original site, a new location was selected and reinforced to meet these challenges. Key changes included site preparation involving granites and other structural support materials, enhanced thermal insulation, and improved ventilation systems. Performance evaluations …
