Abstract
The present article is concerned with certain methods for raising the power level of reactors with gaseous coolants: additional cooling of the gas ahead of the gas compressor, increasing the pressure in the loop, and profiling the coolant flow through the reactor.
Equations for calculating the theoretical thermodynamic cycle for a reactor with a gaseous coolant, the coolant temperature at the downstream end of the reactor, and the profiling of the coolant flow are derived.
