Functionally graded components are usually preferred for severe and critical service conditions, thanks to the possibility of achieving different complementary material properties within same structure. Wire + Arc Additive Manufacturing is an emerging technology which lends itself well production sound structures. In this study, integral structure two functional gradients, namely tantalum molybdenum, molybdenum tungsten, was successfully deposited. A linear gradient observed in both...
Heat sinks have manifold applications, from micro-electronics to nuclear fusion reactors.Their performance expectations will continue increase in line with the power consumption and miniaturisation of technology.Additive manufacturing enables creation novel, compact heat greater surface-to-volume ratios geometrical complexities than standard pin/fin arrays pipes.Despite this, there has been little research into use high surface area lattice structures as sinks.Here, hydraulic thermal five...

ITER's Ion Cyclotron Range of Frequencies (ICRF) system [Lamalle et al., Fusion Eng. Des. 88, 517–520 (2013)] comprises two antenna launchers designed by CYCLE (a consortium European associations listed in the author affiliations above) on behalf ITER Organisation (IO), each inserted as a Port Plug (PP) into one Vacuum Vessel (VV) ports. Each launcher is an array 4 toroidal 6 poloidal RF current straps specified to couple up 20 MW total plasma frequency range 40 55 MHz but limited maximum...
Abstract In the conceptual design of EU-DEMO, damage to plasma-facing components under disruption events is planned be mitigated by specific sacrificial limiter components. A new concept has been proposed using lattice structures fabricated with tungsten powder additive manufacturing techniques. The major potential benefits a structure for limiters are possibility customise thermal conductivity and structural compliance these manage temperatures stress within material limits lower...

ITER's Ion Cyclotron Range of Frequencies (ICRF) system [1] comprises two antenna launchers designed by CYCLE (a consortium European associations listed in the author affiliations above) on behalf F4E for ITER Organisation (IO), each inserted as a Port Plug (PP) into one Vacuum Vessel (VV) ports. Each launcher is an array 4 toroidal 6 poloidal RF current straps specified to couple up 20 MW total plasma frequency range 40 55 MHz but limited maximum voltage 45 kV and limits electric fields...
Tungsten is the leading candidate to provide a critical protective coating for copper and steel-based plasma facing components in nuclear reactors. However, fabrication of thick tungsten coatings on or steel challenged by significant difference melting points thermal expansion coefficients materials, which leads severe mismatch strains during manufacture service. This challenge investigated using new processing approach — field assisted sintering nanopowders directly onto pre-sculptured...
The current work uses a novel fundamental heat transfer experiment to understand the morphological and thermal performance effects of nanoparticle deposition processes on heating surfaces under high fluxes. This is unique study nanosuspension induced coated boiling realistic fusion relevant conditions. Al2O3H2O nanosuspensions have been used forced convection boiling. experiments were performed test bed able simulate reactor flux. Nanosuspensions are found deteriorate cooling due formation...
A low temperature jet impingement based heat sink module has been developed for potential application in a near-term fusion power plant divertor. The design is composed of number hexagonal CuCrZr sheets bonded together stack to form laminate structure. This method allows the production complex flow paths using relatively simple manufacturing techniques. thermo-fluid performance baseline employing cascade assessed and compared non-cascade case. Experimental validation numerical work was...
The necessity to handle heat loads in the MW/m2 range has become increasingly prevalent a number of industries. Termed high-heat flux cooling, some most challenging conditions this field occur at first wall and divertor regions fusion tokamak. Steady-state fluxes here may reach values excess 10 areas for stage DEMO. situation is exasperated further by environment within machine, which severely alters material properties with time. Even coolant choice itself can have an impact beyond thermal...
