ABSTRACT

A model of a supercritical water microreactor has been numerically simulated. The fluid flow with natural convection and temperature fields is calculated for four types of mixing patterns. Further, we discuss the fine mixing pattern for the rapid heating of a substrate. When forced convection is dominant, employing a method in which hot and cold water are mixed well yields good results. Further, it is preferable to avoid the case in which the inlet of the substrate is above the mixing point since natural convection reaches near the inlet of the substrate and the temperatures of the particles increase.
