Experimental study of free convective heat transfer in a direction-sensitive open cavity
The aim of the present study was to propose a panel being sensitive to the direction of heat transfer. For this purpose, a vertical rectangular cavity with prescribed dimensions was prepared and filled with water as the working fluid. A vertical mid-plane solid partition was installed within the cavity. Two relatively wide openings were created at the top and bottom of the partition and they we...
متن کاملModification of a Uv Spectrometer into a Neutron Detector Using Neutron-sensitive Scintillating Material
This report describes the design and development of a plastic scintillating high energy neutron detector to be implemented as a micro-class satellite payload. The primary function of this detector is to identify and characterize the energy distribution of solar accelerated neutrons resulting from massive solar events. Accelerated neutrons will be identified by a pulse counting system using the ...
متن کاملSimulation of a Neutron Detector for Real Time Imaging Applications
Monte Carlo Method is used to simulate a double layer gadolinium-amorphous silicon thermal neutron detector. The detector fabricated in pixel array configuration has various applications including neutron imaging. According to the simulation results, a detector consisting of a gadolinium (Gd) film with thickness of 2-4 ~m, sandwiched properly with two layers of sufficiently thick (-30 ?µm) hydr...
متن کاملPrototype Direction-Sensitive Solid-State Detector for Dark Matter.
A prototype weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) detector system is described. The detection efficiency is much larger when the incident neutral particle flux is perpendicular to the detector plane than when it is parallel to the plane. A greatly scaled-up system based on this device would therefore be sensitive to the diurnal rotation of the “WIMP wind” produced by the solar system’s rap...
متن کاملA large , high performance , curved 2 D position - sensitive neutron detector
A new position-sensitive neutron detector has been designed and constructed for a protein crystallography station at LANL’s pulsed neutron source. This station will be one of the most advanced instruments at a major neutron user facility for protein crystallography, fiber and membrane diffraction. The detector, based on neutron absorption in He; has a large sensitive area of 3000 cm; angular co...
