| Summary: | The d evelopment of nuclear reactor today is better than a few years ago.
One of generation IV reactor designs which is made in Indonesia is
PassiveCompact Molten Salt Reactor(PCMSR) that uses a passive cooling system
for transferringheat from the reactor core.
The study was conducted by collecting the parameters needed by the
design. Furthermore, data to support the design of the primary coolant system was
collected. Modeling was performed in the form of differential equations and
solved numerically to obtain the temperature distribution. Pressure drop / rise
calculation was required in the primary coolant system to obtain chimney height.
In this study, height of Primary Heat Exchangeris getting lower when
number of tubes is larger. While the number of baffles does not change the
temperature distribution forIntermediate Heat Exchangerand its height. Pressure
drop in Primary Heat Exchanger decreases with the increase in the number of
tubes. For Intermediate Heat Exchanger, pressure rise decreases with the increase
in the number of baffles from three to six pieces. In addition, the chimney height
increases for number of tubes 35000 to 38000, then it decreasesfor number of
tubes 39000 and 40000 pieces. Variations of baffles shows the increasing number
of baffles from three to sixcauses chimney height increases for all variations of the
number of tubes.
