The University of New Mexico proposes to investigate a new compact double-walled heat exchanger concept for fluoride salt-cooled high-temperature reactors (FHRs) that utilize an outer twisted tube configuration in order to enhance shell-side heat transfer and make the overall bundle more compact while utilizing a traditional circular inner tube to withstand high pressure differentials across the tube wall.
