Dear David: I wonder if your model could answer a question for me if it could be done without too much trouble.
Rather than stimulating the LENR reaction to a high point and then cooled down in a passive mode, suppose the reaction could be stopped immediately during a supercritical temperature rise. If a way could be found to kill the LENR reaction immediately, the temperature of the reactor would reach to just below the danger point where micro-powder damage would occur. The temperature would begin to fall while undergoing re-stimulation. Upon reaching the low point, the temperature would recover and once again increase in a supercritical mode. Could that type of change in control increase the COP? If so, what would that COP turn out to be? Drawing an analogy from nuclear fission reactors as follows: This type of control is auctioned in a nuclear reactor when the control rods are inserted and then removed. You are modeling a Subcritical reactor. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subcritical_reactor I would like you to model a supercritical reactor. Controlled by rod adjustment, this type of nuclear reactors was used before reactors became passively self-limiting. The Chernobyl reactor was an example of a rod controlled reactor.
