Researchers have developed a three-dimensional computational code for the thermal-hydraulic design and accident analysis of high temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGRs). This software significantly surpasses traditional codes in both functionality and computational efficiency, thereby facilitating HTGR engineering design and enabling in-depth investigations into complex flow and heat transfer phenomena.
A Rapid Communication proposes the idea of a new form of infrastructure for oil and gas transportation network with electricity grid playing a vital role. This new energy system “substance-energy network” provides a general solutions for large-scale renewable energy consumption, high-reliability energy security, and areas in which direct electrification is difficult.
