ANS is committed to advancing, fostering, and promoting the development and application of nuclear sciences and technologies to benefit society.
Explore the many uses for nuclear science and its impact on energy, the environment, healthcare, food, and more.
Division Spotlight
Thermal Hydraulics
The division provides a forum for focused technical dialogue on thermal hydraulic technology in the nuclear industry. Specifically, this will include heat transfer and fluid mechanics involved in the utilization of nuclear energy. It is intended to attract the highest quality of theoretical and experimental work to ANS, including research on basic phenomena and application to nuclear system design.

A special Chromel/Alumel thermocouple was fabricated whereby the bare ends of the wires were fixed ∼1 mm apart. In a medium with a good electrical conductivity (e.g., liquid sodium), the junction of this thermocouple is replaced by the medium itself. Hence, a fast undelayed response is expected. While mean temperature data of this device are in good agreement with data for conventional thermocouples, power spectral densities of the open element contain contributions from much higher frequencies than those of conventional thermocouples.
