Along with several other nuclear physics laboratories around the world, the NSCL has undertaken the challenge of stopping a radioactive ion beam in order to make low-energy beams for experiments that require nearly thermal beam energies (precision mass measurements, laser spectroscopy, etc.). As part of the LEBIT (Low Energy Beam and Ion Trapping) Project at the NSCL, a gas stopping station is ...

A Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling study has been conducted to evaluate the application of overfire air (OFA), Fuel Lean Gas Reburn (FLGR), and Selective Non-Catalytic Reduction (SNCR) to reduce NOx emissions from Owensboro Municipal Utilities’ Elmer Smith Station. Smith Station Unit 1 is a nominally rated 150 MWe single-wall cyclone fired boiler with three barrels. FLGR is a NOx con...

We assume that m facility units (hospital, bank, post office, fire department, police station, bus station, etc.) are requested to be established for n cities which are on the same line. We have to choose m cities where the facility units will be established such that total distance from all cities to nearest facility units is minimum. Here, it is supposed that the person who is in the city whi...
