Modeling Water Treatment Reactor Hydraulics Using Reactor Networks

Thermal-Hydraulics analysis of pressurized water reactor core by using single heated channel model

Thermal hydraulics of nuclear reactor as a basis of reactor safety has a very important role in reactor design and control. The thermal-hydraulic analysis provides input data to the reactor-physics analysis, whereas the latter gives information about the distribution of heat sources, which is needed to perform the thermal-hydraulic analysis. In this study single heated channel model as a very f...

Poultry Slaughterhouse Wastewater Treatment Using Anaerobic Fluid Bed Reactor and Aerobic Mobile-Bed Biological Reactor

This research evaluated the efficiency of combined anaerobic-aerobic processes for the treatment of slaughterhouse wastewater. The anaerobic reactor consists of a 3.95 L Plexiglas column with 60 mm diameter and 140 cm height. The cylindrical particles of polyvinyl chloride with 2 mm diameter and 1250 kg m-3 density packed to 60 cm of column were used as biomass saving material. The d...

Reactor Design for Metal Precipitation in Mine Water Treatment

Modeling nuclear reactor core dynamics with recurrent neural networks

A recurrent multilayer perceptron (RMLP) model is designed and developed for simulation of core neutronic phenomena in a nuclear power plant, which constitute a non-linear, complex dynamic system characterized by a large number of state variables. Training and testing data are generated by REMARK, a rst principles neutronic core model 16]. A modiied backpropagation learning algorithm with an ad...

Synthesis of chemical reactor networks

An interesting problem in chemical reactor theory is finding bounds or targets on a given performance index in a reacting system. Moreover, performance of the reactor subsystem has a key impact on the design of other processing subsystems. It determines the recycle structure of the process, the separation sequence and has a strong influence on the energy and environmental considerations. Howeve...
