In general, a nuclear core design process is divided into two subsequent phases, namely the fuel lattice phase, and followed by full phase such as for light water reactor (LWR). The optimal parameters obtained from can be used in straightforward manner since neutron mean free path much smaller than assembly dimensions. Unfortunately, above-mentioned favorable situation may not applicable high-t...

As the unique piece of heat transport equipment in a pipe cooled reactor, an accurate simulation is helpful for understanding real behavior reactor core and system. Based on network method, improved model which considers conductance wall, vapor flow space, liquid wick proposed. Meanwhile, gravity term also added to equation. Compared with experimental results copper-water pipe, validity this ve...

This study investigated the performance and stability of an anaerobic baffled filter reactor in the treatment of algae-laden water from Taihu Lake at several organic loading rates. The study also evaluated the capability of soft filler to train granule sludge and improve the anaerobic environment and sludge activity in the anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR), thereby enhancing the treatment efficie...

The objective of this paper was to study the performance of household refrigerator having both air and water-cooled condenser, with 0.06% mass fraction CuO nanoparticle-lubricant mixture and different types of compressor oils. The experiment was done using HFC134a as the refrigerant, CuO nanoparticles, Polyol-ester oil (POE) oil which is used as the conventional lubricant in the household refri...

The Water-Cooled Lithium–Lead (WCLL) is one of the most promising technologies for power conversion and tritium production in future fusion-powered reactors; it will be implemented Test Breeding Modules (TBM) inside ITER reactor DEMO EU reactor. However, simultaneous presence system high-temperature PbLi high-pressure water poses significant safety issues event an in-box LOCA (Loss Of Coolant A...

As the EU DEMO reactor will act as a Component Test Facility for breeding blanket (BB), it is foreseen that different BB concepts be tested throughout plant’s lifetime. The maintenance of all in-vessel components (IVCs), D-T fusion machines, must carried out employing remote handling (RH) technology, structural materials activated by neutrons. maintained segment and possibly other nearby segmen...
