Scaling and analysis of mixing in large stratified volumes
- P. Peterson
- Physics
- 1 March 1994
Abstract This work develops scaling and governing equations for mixing processes in large interconnected enclosures under stratified conditions. Injected buoyant jets, plumes from heat sources, and… Expand
Net-zero emissions energy systems

- 29 June 2018
Path to zero carbon emissions Models show that to avert dangerous levels of climate change, global carbon dioxide emissions must fall to zero later this century. Most of these emissions arise from… Expand
HYLIFE-II: A Molten-Salt Inertial Fusion Energy Power Plant Design — Final Report
- R. Moir, R. Bieri, +14 authors W. Williams
- Physics
- 1994
Enhanced safety and performance improvements have been made to the liquid-wall HYLIFE reactor, yielding the current HYLIFE-II conceptual design. Liquid lithium has been replaced with a neutronically… Expand
Pressure suppression pool mixing in passive advanced BWR plants
- R. Gamble, T. Nguyen, B. Shiralkar, P. Peterson, R. Greif, H. Tabata
- Environmental Science
- 1 February 2001
In the SBWR passive boiling water reactor, the long-term post-accident containment pressure is determined by the combination of noncondensible gas pressure and steam pressure in the wetwell gas… Expand
Multiple-Reheat Brayton Cycles for Nuclear Power Conversion with Molten Coolants
- P. Peterson
- Chemistry
- 1 December 2003
Abstract Gas-turbine power conversion systems can have lower capital costs than comparable steam-turbine systems due to their higher power density. The recent commercialization of magnetic bearing… Expand

- Engineering
- 1 May 2007
This experimental research investigates mixed convection and heat transfer augmentation by gaseous forced jets in a large enclosure, at conditions simulating those of passive containment cooling… Expand
High-Temperature Liquid-Fluoride-Salt Closed-Brayton-Cycle Solar Power Towers
- C. Forsberg, P. Peterson, Haihua Zhao
- Materials Science
- 1 May 2007
Liquid-fluoride-salt heat transfer fluids are proposed to raise the heat-to-electricity efficiencies of solar power towers to about 50%. The liquid salt would deliver heat from the solar furnace at… Expand
Options for Scaled Experiments for High Temperature Liquid Salt and Helium Fluid Mechanics and Convective Heat Transfer
- P. Bardet, P. Peterson
- Chemistry
- 1 September 2008
Abstract Liquid fluoride salts and helium have desirable properties for use as working fluids for high-temperature (500 to 1000°C) heat transport in fission and fusion applications. This paper… Expand
One-Dimensional Analysis of Thermal Stratification in AHTR and SFR Coolant Pools
- Haihua Zhao, P. Peterson
- Engineering
- 1 October 2007
Thermal stratification phenomena are very common in pool type reactor systems, such as the liquid-salt cooled Advanced High Temperature Reactor (AHTR) and liquid-metal cooled fast reactor systems… Expand
