As part of the development of safety design technologies for sodium-cooled fast reactor coupled to thermal energy storage system withs odium–nitrate molten salt heat exchanger, we are considering optimization of heat exchanger type and measures to improve heat transfer. We have conducted Computational Fluid Dynamics analyses with the partial model of the selected heat exchanger type. In this presentation we present the heat transfer performance based on the analyses results.
