Synthetic Focusing Aperture Techniques for Non-destructive Testing of Materials

Synthetic Aperture Focusing Technique imaging has became a popular tool in the field of non-destructive testing in the past years. The acquisition procedure consists in collecting the data after activating elements one by one. The reconstructed object is then computed by adding the contribution of each channel, selecting the proper time delay values. It is the principle of the well-known delay ...

NUMERICAL TECHNIQUES FOR DIFFERENT THERMAL INSULATION MATERIALS

The objective of this work is to predict the temperature of the different types of walls which are Ferro cement wall, reinforced cement concrete (RCC) wall and two types of cavity walls (combined RCC with Ferrocement and combined two Ferro cement walls) with the help of mathematical modeling. The property of low thermal transmission of small air gap between the constituents of combine materials...

Structural materials challenges for advanced reactor systems

Key technologies for advanced nuclear systems encompass high temperature structural materials, fast neutron resistant core materials, and specific reactor and power conversion technologies (intermediate heat exchanger, turbo-machinery, high temperature electrolytic or thermo-chemical water splitting processes, etc.). The main requirements for the materials to be used in these reactor systems ar...

Determination of neutron temperature in irradiation channels of reactor

The neutron temperature is a characteristic parameter in irradiation channels of reactor. For nuclides which have resonances in the thermal neutron energy range, their Westcott g-factors are different from unity. The values of g-factors and cross-sections of (n, γ) reaction of these nuclides are temperature dependence. The standard energy for tabulation of thermal neutron cross-section (σ0) is ...
