Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the amount of hydrogen production by the thermochemical cycle of modified Fe-Cl and Mg-Cl in the PACER fusion reactor. Ten different coolant zone thicknesses were determined at 25% molten salt (LiF + UF4) and 75% void operating conditions. Determination of hydrogen production amount by Fe-Cl and Mg-Cl methods depends on the energy multiplication factor. In the hydrogen production performance, both the total power (Phpf) required by the facility and the amount of hydrogen mass flow produced were calculated. As a result, it was seen that the hydrogen mass flow amount was better than Fe-Cl with the Mg-Cl thermochemical method.
