Verifying that a local software installation performs as the developer intends is a potentially time consuming but necessary step for nuclear safety related codes. Automating this process not only saves time, but can increase reliability and scope of verification compared to ‘hand’ ... Read More
Steam drum in a nuclear power plant is one of the important components of Primary Heat Transport (PHT) system where steam is separated from the steam water mixture. Steam water mixture emanating from the reactor core is separated in a steam drum. Separated steam goes to the turbine ... Read More
Solar energy storage has been an extensive research topic among the several thermal energy applications over the past three decades. Thermal energy storage (TES) systems in general, improve the energy efficiency of systems and sustainability of buildings by reducing the mismatch between ... Read More
This paper presents the investigation into the phenomena during batch reactor vessel mixing comparing agitation equipment; the Rushton turbine and the Marine propeller; in the production of bioethanol by yeast fermentation. The key factors addressed in selecting equipment were fluid ... Read More
A novel mechanism for the carbothermal reduction of Ilmenite is proposed and validated with the help of a comprehensive mathematical model. A time-dependent isothermal pellet-grain model is used to simulate the kinetic behaviour of a spherical pellet of ilmenite (FeTiO3) in CO/CO2 ... Read More
The goal of a tokamak is to use high magnetic fields to contain plasma and produce nuclear fusion that can be used for power generation. MIT’s Plasma Science Fusion Center (PSFC) and collaborators are proposing a machine, the Advanced Divertor eXperiment (ADX) to test new technology for ... Read More
In order to qualify experiments for in-vessel irradiation at the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, safety assessments need to be completed and documented to ensure adequate target cooling and structural integrity. Previously, finite element analysis ... Read More
Steam Generator Test Facility (SGTF) is set up in IGCAR to optimize the design of Steam Generators (SG) for Fast Breeder Reactors. In the SG of SGTF heat exchange takes place from sodium which enters at 525 ºC and leaves at 355 ºC temperature to the water/steam which enters at 235 ºC and ... Read More
Outline of presentation: In electromagnetic technology applications the finite element method is very well suited for a wide range of problem types For many cases, in particular when inhomogeneous materials having complex properties are involved as well as when multiphysics couplings ... Read More
本文介绍利用COMSOL传热模块对激光闪射法（Laser Flash Method）测量具有环形结构的碳化硅复合包壳的瞬态传热过程，进而获得对标准激光闪射法估算热扩散率/热导率的几何修正系数和温度修正系数。 碳化硅复合包壳由多层的单质SiC陶瓷基体、SiC纤维编织层组成。碳化硅复合包壳在高温蒸汽中抗氧化性远远优于锆合金，因此被视为未来核电站燃料棒包壳的理想解决方案。为了开展碳化硅复合包壳的性能分析，需要使用激光闪射法获得其在500K~1800K温度范围的热扩散率。问题在于，激光闪射法标准(ASTM E1461-13)规定的样品形状为薄圆片 ... Read More
