CFD analysis of WCLL BB PbLi manifold

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2017
Abstract ENEA CR Brasimone has developed the new design of the Water Cooled Lithium Lead Breeding Blanket (WCLL BB). In the new design Breeding Zone (BZ) water coolant flows in radial-toroidal direction, and PbLi flows in radial-poloidal direction; a gap between the Back Plate (BP) and the BZ constitutes the PbLi inlet manifold.

MHD flow and heat transfer in model geometries for WCLL blankets

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2017
Abstract In the water cooled lead lithium (WCLL) blanket liquid lead lithium PbLi is used as breeder, neutron multiplier, and as heat transfer medium. The released heat is removed by water that flows at a pressure of 155 bar through cooling pipes immersed in the liquid-metal pool.

WCLL breeding blanket design and integration for DEMO 2015: status and perspectives

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2017
Abstract Water-cooled lithium-lead breeding blanket is considered a candidate option for European DEMO nuclear fusion reactor. ENEA and the linked third parties have proposed and are developing a multi-module blanket segment concept based on DEMO 2015 specifications. The layout of the module is based on horizontal (i.e. radial-toroidal) water-cooling

MHD pressure drop estimate for the WCLL in-magnet PbLi loop

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2020
Abstract In the Water-Cooled Lithium Lead (WCLL) blanket, the eutectic alloy lithium-lead (PbLi) is used as tritium breeder and carrier, neutron multiplier, and heat transfer medium. The PbLi hydraulic loop section in the range of the reactor field coils, which includes the blanket and a non-negligible length of the connection pipes, is affected by ...

Magnetohydrodynamic simulation of the WCLL breeding blanket with helical cooling pipes

Fusion Engineering and Design
The Water-Cooled Lead Lithium (WCLL) is a Breeding Blanket (BB) concept presently in the development phase for implementation in the DEMO fusion reactor demonstrator. The Lead lithium eutectic alloy (PbLi) breeder is moved at a slow velocity to diminish Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) pressure losses.
