Initiating event analysis is an essential prerequisite of conducting probabilistic safety assessment for nuclear reactors, which plays important role in improving the core design, identifying fault, and guiding operation. In order to determine initiating list SIMONS (Small Innovative helium-xenon cooled Mobile Nuclear power System), preliminary researches on initial were carried out using MLD (...

Oxy-fuel combustion is recognized one of the most promising available technologies that zero emission accomplishment may be in the offing. With coal burned under the pressure of 6MPa and oxygenenriched conditions, the high temperature and high pressure gaseous combustion product is composed of 95% CO2 and water-vapor, with the rest of O2, N2 and so on. However, once lauded as classic approach o...

Intermetallic phases have been known as a realm of “endless wonders”, whose expansion can be tracked first through the thick volumes of Pearson’s Handbook of Crystal Data on Intermetallic Phases of the 1990s to online crystal structure databases whose scale is measurable only in disk space. The structural data in these resources has shaped many of our views about the solid state. For example, w...

Nanofibrous systems are attracting increasing interest as a means of drug delivery, although a significant limitation to this approach has been manufacture on a scale commensurate with dosage form production. However, recent work has suggested that nanofibers may be successfully manufactured on a suitable scale using the novel process of pressurized gyration (PG). In this study, we explore the ...

Superheaters are critical components in a coal-fired power plant because they sustain the highest tube wall (metal) temperature point boiler. The pressurized steam flowing superheater tubes is mainly heated via thermal radiation and convection from combustion gas radiant zone. To prevent bursting of caused by high-temperature creep, corrosion, fatigue for proper operation maintenance, accuratel...

LVAD is a mechanical pump supporting a weak heart function and blood flow. Sometimes, the heart may not recover fast enough to take over the pumping action immediately after surgery, in such patients a temporary support device has been employed to maintain the pumping action until the patient’s own heart recovers. This device can be considered as a temporary alternative before the process of ar...
