Some Thoughts on Optimizing Long-Distance Heat Transport Systems and Their Storage Facilities (Reflexions sur L'Optimisation des Reseaux de Transport de Chaleur a Grande Distance et sur la Place des Stockages dans Ces Reseaux),

Abstract

This document stems from the study of transport of heat produced in nuclear power reactors with a high enough rating to benefit by scale economy and relying on seasonal storage to flatten the production curve. It aims at optimizing such transport systems and is first of all a search for a simple mathematical method for determining immediately the optimal diameters and the corresponding costs. (Author)
