Design}, month = {Feb}, note = {A water-cooled ceramic breeder blanket has been developed. Heat flux and coolant pressure are applied to the first wall of the blanket in a fusion reactor. A square cooling channel is adopted in the first wall in Quantum and Radiological Science and Technology (QST). This study specifically addressed the relation between the thermal mechanical responses with different cooling channel shapes and the allowable load of the first wall. Thermal mechanical responses of the first wall were evaluated using finite element method (FEM). Based on those results, the allowable loads for the structural integrity of the first wall were assessed in accordance with the requirements of ASME Sec. III NH. Among the failure modes the creep-fatigue damage was the most dominant on the allowable loads of the first wall. The allowable loads were determined by characteristics of the thermal mechanical responses with the cooling channel shape. The major determinants were the surface heat flux and the coolant pressure, respectively, for the circular and the square channels.}, pages = {146--150}, title = {Thermal mechanical characteristics of blanket first walls with different cooling channel shapes}, volume = {136}, year = {2018} }
