Modeling of a Z-IFE Hydrogen Plant Using MELCOR-H2

Z-Pinch Power Plant Design and IFE Materials Program on Z and RHEPP at SNL

There are presently four driver technologies that are being developed for IFE Power Plants: these are HIF (Heavy Ion Fusion), KrF (Krypton Fluoride laser), DPSSL (Diode-Pumped Solid-State Laser), and Z-Pinches. All four types were included in the discussions at the Snowmass Fusion Summer Study in 1999 [1]. The purpose of this paper is to discuss (1) the z-pinch power plant concept, and (2) the ...

Unsteady-state Computational Fluid Dynamics Modeling of Hydrogen Separation from H2/N2 Mixture

3D modeling of Pd/α-Al2O3 hollow fiber membrane by using computational fluid dynamic for hydrogen separation from H2/N2 mixture was considered in steady and unsteady states by using the concept of characteristic time. Characteristic time concept could help us to design and calculate surface to volume ratio and membrane thickness, and adjust the feed conditions. The contribution of resistance be...

Nonequilibrium Dynamic Modeling of Hydrogen Sulfide Absorption Using Diglycolamine Solution

scour modeling piles of kambuzia industrial city bridge using hec-ras and artificial neural network

today, scouring is one of the important topics in the river and coastal engineering so that the most destruction in the bridges is occurred due to this phenomenon. whereas the bridges are assumed as the most important connecting structures in the communications roads in the country and their importance is doubled while floodwater, thus exact design and maintenance thereof is very crucial. f...

Performance Modeling of Power Generation System of a Thermal Plant

The present paper discusses the development of a performance model of power generation system of a thermal plant for performance evaluation using Markov technique and probabilistic approach. The study covers two areas: development of a predictive model and evaluation of performance with the help of developed model. The present system of thermal plant under study consists of four subsystems with...
