Molten Salt Fast Reactor Thermochemistry Model #315

Closed mtnwalker closed 2 weeks ago

mtnwalker commented 8 months ago

Model Description

This model is a multiphysics RZ model of the Molten Salt Fast Reactor that solves the steady-state thermochemistry of the system using a multiphysics restart currently on VTB. Can be run on workstation.

Project description

This model was developed by Samuel Walker and was funded by the NEAMS program and ART-MSR program.

Impact

This is a valuable contribution to modeling the full multiphysics behavior of Molten Salt Reactors by including the important aspect of thermochemistry. Gives an example of how to use the newly MOOSE wrapped Thermochimica within the chemical reactions module.
