The advantages of current limiters based on liquid metal self-healing fuses (LMSHF) provoke interest and the need for the development and continuation of research in the direction of creating prototypes and industrial samples of LMSHF, determining the sphere of their application. One of the significant reasons for the lack of the necessary results of experimental research in the literature sources is the technological problems of manufacturing prototypes of LMSHF and preparing them for testing. This is especially noticeable when using fusible elements made of alkali metals that are aggressive to the environment. The proposed approach to solving the technological problems of manufacturing and preparing prototypes for testing is of interest and can be used by scientific groups engaged in research related to LMSHF. The development and discussion of such a technology can contribute to the activation of research towards of creating prototypes, their research aimed at obtaining new practical results.

Sodium-cooled Fast Reactor (SFR) is the most promising reactor among the six Gen-IV nuclear reactor systems. The coolant of SFR is liquid metal which has very different heat transfer characteristics from conventional fluids. The study on heat transfer characteristics of the liquid metal sodium at single-phase and two-phase has not only great academic but also application meanings for SFRs design and safety analysis. Xi’an Jiaotong University (XJTU) performed comprehensive studies from the theoretical and experimental aspects. In the theoretical studies, the main focuses are paid on the sodium single-phase heat transfer flowing in rod bundles, incipient boiling, two-phase thermal-hydraulic and critical heat flux (CHF). The experimental research on the flow and heat transfer characteristics of sodium in annuli is performed on XJTU single-phase sodium loop and two-phase boiling sodium loop, in which the single-phase friction and Nu correlations, the incipient boiling superheat (IBS) correlations, the two-phase friction multiplier factor and the heat transfer coefficient of sodium boiling are obtained. In this paper, the established theoretical models and the experimental studies for the single-phase heat transfer and the IBS in the annuli or the pin bundles are presented. The theoretical models are validated by the experimental data, and the comparison shows good agreement.

This paper reviews the evidence for a secondary transfer effect of intergroup contact. Following a contact’s typical primary reduction in prejudice toward the outgroup involved in the contact, this effect involves a further, secondary reduction in prejudice toward noninvolved outgroups. Employing longitudinal German probability samples, we found that significant secondary transfer effects of intergroup contact exist, but they were limited to specific outgroups that are similar to the contacted outgroup in perceived stereotypes, status or stigma. Since the contact-prejudice link is bidirectional, the effect is inflated when prior prejudice reducing contact is not controlled. The strongest evidence derives from experimental research. Both cognitive (dissonance) and affective (evaluative conditioning) explanations for the effect are offered.
