Improvement of magnesium canning alloy for carbon dioxide cooled reactor fuel elements

Turning carbon dioxide into fuel.

Our present dependence on fossil fuels means that, as our demand for energy inevitably increases, so do emissions of greenhouse gases, most notably carbon dioxide (CO2). To avoid the obvious consequences on climate change, the concentration of such greenhouse gases in the atmosphere must be stabilized. But, as populations grow and economies develop, future demands now ensure that energy will be...

Compact and Lightweight Sabatier Reactor for Carbon Dioxide Reduction

The utilization of CO2 to produce life support consumables, such as O2 and H2O, via the Sabatier reaction is an important aspect of NASA’s cabin Atmosphere Revitalization System and In-Situ Resource Utilization architectures for both low-earth orbit and long-term manned space missions. In the current International Space Station (ISS) and other low orbit missions, metabolically-generated CO2 is ...

در سالهای اخیر،اختلالات کیفیت توان مهمترین موضوع می باشد که محققان زیادی را برای پیدا کردن راه حلی برای حل آن علاقه مند ساخته است.امروزه کیفیت توان در سیستم قدرت برای مراکز صنعتی،تجاری وکاربردهای بیمارستانی مسئله مهمی می باشد.مشکل ولتاژمثل شرایط افت ولتاژواضافه جریان ناشی از اتصال کوتاه مدار یا وقوع خطا در سیستم بیشتر مورد توجه می باشد. برای مطالعه افت ولتاژ واضافه جریان،محققان زیادی کار کرده ...

THE ACTIVATION OF CARBON DIOXIDE AT A MAGNESIUM (1 00) SURFACE THE ROLE OF OXYGEN TRANSIENTS

X-ray photoelectron and high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopic (XPS-HREELS) studies have shown that the adsorption of carbon dioxide at Mg(100) surfaces at 80K is followed by a dissociative reaction leading to the formation of a metastable surface carbonate above 80K. The formation of a carbonate species is proposed to proceed through oxidation of C0 (g) by an active oxygen su...
