The University of Texas at Arlington received a $500,000 Project Grant award from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to conduct high fidelity experiments and simulations of heat pipe performance under steady-state, transient, and accident conditions from September 2021 through September 2024. This award supports research under the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Scholarship and Fellowship Program (CFDA #77.008), which provides funding for nuclear-related research, as well as undergraduate scholarships, graduate fellowships, and community college programs. The University of Texas at Arlington will leverage its expertise in nuclear engineering and thermal systems to experimentally and computationally analyze heat transfer mechanisms in heat pipes under various operational scenarios. Insights from this research could help inform safety evaluations and modernization efforts for nuclear power plants.
