Hello, I encountered a problem concerning cooling a Molten Salt reactor(ThF4 fuel)+ Thermal electric generator. A DT-MW-TD-32x Microwave Transducer is also used and all components are at 2.5m scale. it seems the heat can not be transfered directly with radiators from this components(reactor or generator). It works if a Tank is connected to the assembly but I think this might not be a good idea because it drives the part count up. the radiation power is not what I expected. With a 30 m2 Graphite radiator(folding medium) and Rad Temp at 1015 K, cooling 15.5% => Radiated Power is at 0.003MW=3kW. This can not be because a calculation with Stefan-Boltzmann shows the Radiated Power should be ~ 253 kW. This is a almost 100 fold difference. 2HOT Thermometer stuck on the surface of the reactor-generator-tank shows only the environment temperature which is strange.... The initial value for Efficiency of the Thermal electric generator is shown for Power Control=0 not for 100% as displayed in the interface.(initialization probably wrong)
