This work treats of a preferential oxidation reactor, which is simulated by a two-dimensional axial symmetric model. The reactor serves as purification of hydrocarbon reformat and converts the CO mole fraction from up to 1 % in the feed gas down to a few ppm at the outlet to deliver a ... Read More
Simulation models for steady state thermal hydraulics analyses of ORNL’s HFIR have been developed using COMSOL. A single fuel plate and coolant channel of each type of HFIR fuel element was modeled in three dimensions. The standard k-? turbulence model was used in simulating turbulent ... Read More
A current research and development project is ongoing to convert the operating High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) of Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) from highly-enriched uranium (HEU U3-O8) fuel to low-enriched uranium (LEU U-Mo) fuel. Because LEU HFIR-specific testing and experiments ... Read More
Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) is the highest flux reactor-based source of neutrons for research in the United States. Thermal and cold neutrons produced by HFIR are used to study physics, chemistry, material science, engineering, and biology. Currently, ... Read More
The current general context for green production and decarbonation prompts considering alternative solutions to produce high added value byproducts from gas decomposition without producing CO2. Steam Reforming or Combustion processes, widely applied in Industry, need H2O or O2 to ... Read More
Over the past 10 years, scientific, technical, and technological advancements have significantly propelled the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies within the field of physics, particularly in numerical simulations and the design of autonomous and ... Read More
Food sterilization is a thermal industrial process used to give products in airtight food packaging shelf life, stability and safety from a microbiological point of view. The term sterilization mainly includes treatments at high temperatures (greater than 100 °C), even in pressurized ... Read More
In this conference we have brought together a community that is scientifically diverse in an event that allows for inspiring contacts about the use of COMSOL Multiphysics. It is an event to connect with the Spanish and Portuguese COMSOL Multiphysics users and participate in training ... Read More
Packed bed microreactors (PBMR) and ferrofluids are independently enormously used in a broad range of applications in the healthcare sector. In a PBMR, one of the primary factors for controlling the reaction rate is the bed porosity which immediately affects the catalyst distribution and ... Read More
The Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is developing technology to re-establish the capability to produce plutonium-238 for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) as a power source material for powering vehicles while in deep-space. The High Flux Isotope Reactor ... Read More
