Increasing efficiency and environmental safety of cooling systems in a floating nuclear power plant

In order to increase the reliability and safety of a floating nuclear power plant, the research proposes to apply closed-loop cooling systems for floating nuclear power plants’ cooling. Ship hull is proposed to be used as a surface of the heat exchanger, call ship hull heat exchanger. This paper presents detailed study on effect of the ship hull angle on the heat transfer coefficient and measures to improve the heat transfer coefficient. It is concluded that application of gas-liquid flows to the seaside surfaces of ship hull is one of the most effective ways for improving the heat transfer coefficient
