Tarapur Atomic Power Station is a twin unit Boiling Water Reactors. The rated initial capacity of each unit was for 210 MWe. Subsequently due to Secondary Steam Generator tube leak problem, the units were de-rated to 160 MWe in the year 198485. The station has completed 36 years of successful commercial operation. TAPS reactor fuel channels are made of Zircaloy -4, material. These are used alon...

Mixtures of ethylene glycol and water are used in cooling the engines in automotive applications. Heat is transferred essentially under subcooled flow boiling conditions as the mixture flows over the hot surfaces, which are at temperatures well above the local saturation temperature of the mixture. Very little information is available in the literature on the subcooled flow boiling characterist...

Among the anaerobic systems applied for the treatment of paper industry effluents, the IC (Internal Circulation) reactor is gaining a lot of interest. The reactor combines good biomass retention at the outlet with excellent mixing characteristics in the lower part of the reactor. This leads to smaller reactor volumes and less space requirements. Three examples of IC reactors at various recycle ...

Liquid agent transport was investigated around unheated and heated horizontal cylinders (to a near-surface temperature of approximately 423 K, i.e., well above the water boiling point) under ambient conditions. Experimental results are presented for a well-characterized, droplet-laden homogenous turbulent flow field, using water, methoxy-nonafluorobutane (i.e., HFE-7100, C4F9OCH3, with a boilin...
