Electrochemistry is inherent a surface process, requiring the transport of reagents towards the electrode surface. In electrochemical reactors this typically results in mass transfer limitation problems, limiting the yield and efficiency of the reactor. While the academic community is ... Read More
At Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), the COMSOL Multiphysics software has become a reliable and important resource to estimate and assess thermal safety margins for several nuclear applications. This poster presentation will highlight some of the ongoing activities in the following ... Read More
Design of the Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs) involves extensive calculations to verify the reactor safety criteria such as power peaking factor during the reactor lifetime. Coupling of neutronic calculations, thermal hydraulic calculations and other reactor phenomena requires a ... Read More
A power supply is generally used in many electrical devices. In order to deliver uniform power irrespective of time variation, most plasma equipment also uses a power source. Therefore, the power condition in plasma simulations is essential. In time-dependent models using a current ... Read More
Microreactors have gained popularity in fuel production industry. This is due to its high surface area to volume ratio, enhanced mass and heat transfer, short residence time and a more sustainable practice. The catalytic hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) reaction of 4-Propylguaiacol (4PG) to 4 ... Read More
Exciting plasma in inductive mode is attractive due to the high electron density and the absence of ion interaction with the reactor walls. However, any real system excites plasma at low power in capacitive mode with strong interaction with the walls. The transition from one mode to the ... Read More
Electrochemical reduction of CO2 to value added chemicals is a promising strategy to mitigate its emission from atmosphere and close the carbon cycle. Although the knowledge on designing electrocatalysts for CO2 electroreduction exists, challenges are associated with developing CO2 ... Read More
Stirred tank bioreactors are used to simulate a natural biochemical environment for the optimum growth of cells (i.e. algae, microorganisms or tissues) in microbial and cell culture. Bioreactor types range from small (5 L and less) up to 15000 L systems for large-scale industrial ... Read More
The IR CO2 laser powered chemical conversions in the gas phase are intriguing and the researchers’ attention was focused on this transformation a while ago. The method, known as Infrared Laser Powered Homogeneous Pyrolysis, or IR LPHP opened reaction pathways not reached by conventional ... Read More
RFSP-IST (Reactor Fueling Simulation Program) is a computer code used for the full-core neutronics design and analysis of CANDU® reactors. RFSP-IST calculates the static flux and power distributions in the core by solving the neutron diffusion equation in two energy groups. For ... Read More
