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...
متن کاملThermal Hydraulics Design Limits
The following discussion of PWR steady state and transient design limits is extracted from the theses of Carter Shuffler and Jarrod Trant while the BWR discussion is extracted from Paolo Ferroni's thesis (covers steady state only). These limits are a simplified and narrower discussion than the relevant NRC standard review plan you will also be referred to. All materials are directly extracted f...
متن کاملGeodesic Finite Mixture Models
The use of Riemannian manifolds and their statistics has recently gained popularity in a wide range of applications involving non-linear data modeling. For instance, they have been used to model shape changes in the brain [1] and human motion [3]. In this work we tackle the problem of approximating the Probability Density Function (PDF) of a potentially large dataset that lies on a known Rieman...
متن کاملExplaining Heterogeneity in Risk Preferences Using a Finite Mixture Model
This paper studies the effect of the space (distance) between lotteries' outcomes on risk-taking behavior and the shape of estimated utility and probability weighting functions. Previously investigated experimental data shows a significant space effect in the gain domain. As compared to low spaced lotteries, high spaced lotteries are associated with higher risk aversion for high probabilities o...
متن کاملTopic Analysis Using a Finite Mixture Model
We address the issue of 'topic analysis,' by which is determined a text's topic structure, which indicates what topics are included in a text, and how topics change within the text. We propose a novel approach to this issue, one based on statistical modeling and learning. We represent topics by means of word clusters, and employ a finite mixture model to represent a word distribution within a t...
