The design of compact heat exchangers and their mass flow distributors is still based on empirical approaches and both numerical analyses and experimentations are needed for designing the best geometries useful to reduce the mass flow rate non uniformities in parallel channels. As known, this is indeed a cause of reduction in both thermal and...

Aim of this work is the preliminary thermal-fluid-dynamic assessment of a subcritical system to perform integral measurements on transmutation processes, designed in the frame of EU CHANDA project: in particular, a low power Accelerator Driven System (ADS) may represent an attractive intermediate step to fill the gap between existing and future...
