Performance Prediction of Eddy Current Flowmeter for Sodium

P. Sharma[1], S. K. Dash[1], B. K. Nashine[1], S. S. Kumar[1], R. Veerasamy[1], B. Krishnakumar[1], P. Kalyanasundaram[1], and G. Vaidyanathan[1]
[1] Fast Reactor Technology Group, Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research, Kalpakkam, Tamil Nadu

Sodium is used as a coolant in Fast Breeder Reactors. Eddy Current Flowmeter (ECFM) is used for measurement of sodium flow in the primary pump and at the outlet of the subassemblies. Eddy Current Flowmeter (ECFM) works on the principle of change in the magnetic field profile due to ... Read More

Optimal Design of Flow Distributors for Detecting Blocked Microreactors

Osamu TONOMURA[1]
[1]Kyoto University, Kyoto, Kyoto, Japan

When the production capacity of micro chemical plants is increased by numbering-up approach, it is important to realize the uniform flow distribution among the parallelized microreactors. In addition, a blocked microreactor needs to be identified as early as possible to achieve the ... Read More

Analysis on Reaction Mechanism and Kinetics of CVD using COMSOL Multiphysics®

Yudai SUZUKI[1]

[1]The University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is widely used in various fields including the fabrication of electronic devices due to its uniform film formation capability on the large-scale wafers and the minute 3D structures. In CVD, precursors (metal compounds) are commonly reacted in gas-phase as ... Read More

Estimation of Tungsten Melt-Zone Size During Transient Heat Loads

Y. Patil[1], S. S. Khirwadkar[1], S. Belsare[1]
[1]Institute for Plasma Research, Gandhinagar, Ahmedabad, India

Electron beam has a wide range of applications in the material processing and joining techniques. Apart from that, it has also been utilized to simulate steady as well as transient fusion reactor relevant heat loads. Transient heat load events spontaneously occur in the fusion reactor. ...

COMSOL Multiphysics® Models Combined with Experiments to Teach PID Controller Tuning

W. Clark[1]
[1]Chemical Engineering Department, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Worcester, MA, USA

A laboratory exercise to learn PID controller tuning can be time consuming and taxing on the equipment. A purely equation-based, virtual controller tuning exercise might not seem relevant to real world processes. We have combined a physical process with a COMSOL Multiphysics model to ... Read More

CFD Modeling of a Laboratory-Scale Setup for Thermochemical Materials Performance Analysis

S. Salviati [1], N. Vasile [1], F. Carosio [2], G. Saracco [2], A. Fina [2],
[1] Center for Sustainable Future Technologies, Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, Torino, Italy
[2] Dipartimento di Scienza Applicata e Tecnologia, Politecnico di Torino, Alessandria, Italy

The search for energy saving is nowadays mandatory because of the constant growth of CO2 emissions caused by an inefficient energy management. Thermal Energy Storage (TES) has an important role in designing of energy efficient systems, including solar energy storage (daily or seasonal) ... Read More

Thermal analysis of a spent fuel transportation cask

P. Goyal[1], V. Verma[1], R. K. Singh[1], and A. K. Ghosh[1]
[1]Reactor Safety Division, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Trombay, Mumbai, India

Spent fuel transportation casks are required to meet among others (test conditions), the regulatory thermal test conditions in order to demonstrate their ability to withstand specified accidental fire conditions during transport. This paper describes the transient thermal analysis ... Read More

Improvements in the Modeling of the Self-ignition of Tetrafluoroethylene

M. Beckmann-Kluge, F. Ferrero, V. Schröder, A. Acikalin, and J. Steinbach
Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing, Technical University, Berlin, Germany

Tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) is a gas widely employed in industry, which can under specific circumstances experience an exothermic dimerization to octafluorocyclobutane. If the heat generated by this reaction cannot be dissipated to the surroundings, the temperature inside the reactor will ... Read More

COMSOL® Application to Estimate 3D Blast Furnace Hearth Wear Using Thermocouple Measurements
