detailed cad model of the [msre](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten-Salt_Reactor_Experiment) (molten salt reactor experiment), operated by oak ridge national laboratory 1965-69.
|
|
|
|
## msre core
|
|
|
|
[core/msrecore.pdf](core/docs/msrecore.pdf) lists reference of the msre core design, documented in the old msre reports and located in the repository [github.com/openmsr/msr-archive](https://github.com/openmsr/msr-archive/blob/master/README.md).
|
|
|
|
the work-in-progress cad model can be found [here](https://cad.onshape.com/documents/4f04f63bfd4138a61a54b3f8/w/11cb17d9ef25bb27f8ada6c0/e/72f417dd8eb3e2fa4f9ccb9e) on onshape.

## prerequisites
|
|
### CAD_to_openMC
|
|
[CAD_to_openMC](https://github.com/openmsr/CAD_to_openMC) is an open-source package to convert CAD geometry (in the form of '.step' files) into an openmc-readable h5m file
|
|
|
|
### openmc
|
|
these simulations use [openmc](https://docs.openmc.org/en/stable/). automated source installation scripts for linux can be found [here](https://github.com/openmsr/openmc_install_scripts)
|
|
|
|
## simulation guide
|
|
|
|
first, clone the repository
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
git clone https://github.com/openmsr/are.git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
enter the are folder and run the `run.sh` script
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cd are
|
|
bash run.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|

## msre heat exchangers
|
|
|
|
open-access [master's thesis](https://ltu.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:1546993/FULLTEXT01.pdf) produced by Malcolm Akner about simulations of the heat exchangers of the msre, titled:
|
|
|
|
Validating results from the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment by use of turbulent CFD simulations
|
|
- A study of a modified U-tube shell-and-tube primary heat exchanger and radiator with molten salts
|
|
|
|
### msre primary heat exchanger
