Ignitor Scale-Up Studies (DIGNITOR)

Ignitor Scale-up Studies (dignitor)* Mnd

An analysis of a scaled-up version of IGNITOR (to a major radius of 2.16 m) is discussed. The design, referred to as DIGNITOR, is a direct extrapolation of IGNITOR. The consequences from the increased size are discussed (mainly due to decreased temperature excursions). A summary of comprehensive calculations of the stresses (documented in an accompanying paper) are presented. The case of a dive...

Production Scale Up of Nanofibers: A Review

Scale-up studies on high shear wet granulation process from mini-scale to commercial scale.

A newly developed mini-scale high shear granulator was used for scale-up study of wet granulation process from 0.2 to 200 L scales. Under various operation conditions and granulation bowl sizes, powder mixture composed of anhydrous caffeine, D-mannitol, dibasic calcium phosphate, pregelatinized starch and corn starch was granulated by adding water. The granules were tabletted, and disintegratio...

Fast Ignitor Concept with Light Ions

A short-laser-pulse driven ion flux is examined as a fast ignitor candidate for inertial confinement fusion. Ion ranges in a hot precompressed fuel are studied. The ion energy and the corresponding intensity of a short laser pulse are estimated for the optimum ion range and ion energy density flux. It is shown that a lightion beam triggered by a few-hundreds-kJ laser at intensities of ~10 21 W/...
