Magnetohydrodynamic Power Generation for Nuclear-powered Sea-going Vessels
نویسنده
چکیده
Introduction An initial feasibility study has been conducted to determine whether the advantages offered by an MHD conversion system for marine use are worth further investigations. 1 In this investigation a gas Brayton MHD cycle and one example of a liquid-metal Rankine MHD cycle were used; required were a power output of 11 megawatts and a given nuclear reactor capable of transmitting a temperautre of 1500 K to the cooling fluid. This report describes these analyses briefly and gives the results.

Nuclear Naval Propulsion
The largest experience in operating nuclear power plants has been in nuclear naval propulsion, particularly aircraft carriers and submarines. This accumulated experience may become the basis of a proposed new generation of compact-sized nuclear power plants designs. The mission for nuclear powered submarines is being redefined in terms of signal intelligence gathering and special operations. Th...

INTRODUCTION From a beginning of atomic shipbuilding (the 1956) in Russia built about 250 atomic submarines (NPS), 5 ships and 9 civil atomic vessels. In connection with expiry of the term of maintenance and conclusion of the contracts about limitation and cutting of offensive arms of Russia from the extremity of the 1980-th years acutely there was a problem of their utilization. Utilization of...
متن کاملAnalysis on technical efficiency and influencing factors of fishing vessels: a case study of Haizhou Bay, China
This paper used the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to measure the technical efficiency of fishing vessels in Haizhou Bay, and then used the Tobit regression to define its influencing factors. This study shows that the overall fishing capacity utilization of fishing vessels at present is very low which indicates that there is a serious waste of resources problem in Haizhou Bay. Specifically, th...

متن کاملNuclear propelled vessels and neutrino oscillation experiments.
We study the effect of naval nuclear reactors on the study of neutrino oscillations. We find that the presence of naval reactors at unknown locations and times may limit the accuracy of future very long baseline reactor-based neutrino oscillation experiments. At the same time, we argue that a nuclear powered surface ship such as a large Russian icebreaker may provide an ideal source for precisi...
