Rate, (g/day) Abstract: This paper presents quantitative predict,ions for the tritium release and inventory in a water-cooled solid breeder blanket for the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) obtained from the tritium transport code MISTRAL [l] recently developed at UCLA. The blanket consists of a layout assembly of solid br...

he GIF Technology Roadmap [1] identified the Lead-cooled Fast Reactor (LFR) as a technology with great potential to meet the small-unit electricity needs of remote sites while also offering advantages as a large system for grid-connected power stations. The LFR features a fast-neutron spectrum and a closed fuel cycle for efficient conversion of fertile uranium. It can also be used as a burner o...

Abstract--The selective oxidation of ethene over a silver on cx-alumina catalyst was studied in a pilot plant with a wall-cooled tubular packed bed reactor. Gas and solid temperatures in the catalyst bed were measured at different axial and radial positions as well as concentrations at different axial position. Total pressure, inlet mole fraction ethene, mass flow rate and wall temperature were...

Computational fluid dynamics simulations have been performed to study the applicability of engineering CFD methods for thermals striping analysis. Thermal is fluctuating temperature profile in a solid caused by temperature, and resulting thermal stresses cause high cycle fatigue eventual material failure. This presents methodology analysis, including transient conjugate heat transfer RANS simul...
