Thermal-hydraulic analysis of He–Xe gas mixture in 2×2 rod bundle wrapped with helical wires

Gas-cooled space reactor, which adopts He–Xe gas mixture as working fluid, is a better choice for megawatt power generation. In this paper, thermal-hydraulic characteristics of He–Xe gas mixture in 2 × 2 rod bundle wrapped with helical wires is numerically investigated. The velocity, pressure and te...
