In this study, the mass flow in double-strata nuclear fuel cycle is analysed based on mass inventory balance model, and the cost evaluation is carried out. As the commercial reactor fuel cycle, which is assumed to be sustainable in a significantly long term, the following different reactors and fuel cycles are considered: (1) Scheme of light water reactor (LWR-UOX and -MOX) based on sea water u...

The transition from stratified to intermittent air-water two-phase flow was investigated experimentally, by visualization and pressure drop signals analyses, in a 30 mm ID pipe. flow’s onset found be mainly dependent on the liquid superficial velocity pipe diameter. Plug flow, Less Aerated Slug (LAS) or Highly (HAS) flows could obtained gas grounds. available models, compared experiments, not p...

A multicomponent one-dimensional dynamic mathematical model for the reacting slurry systems with a change in gas flow rate due to the chemical reaction is developed. A change in gas flow rate caused by the chemical reaction is modeled using the overall gas mass balance. Thus, all relevant chemical species are included in the model. Linear first-order reaction kinetics is considered. The gas pha...

Dimethyl ether reaction kinetics at high temperature were studied in two different flow reactors under highly dilute conditions. Pyrolysis of dimethyl ether was studied in a variable-pressure flow reactor at 2.5 atm and 1118 K. Studies were also conducted in an atmospheric pressure flow reactor at about 1085 K. These experiments included trace-oxygenassisted pyrolysis, as well as full oxidation...

alkaline hydrolysis of ethyl acetate is essentially an irreversible and second order reaction. industrial importance of the reaction product, sodium acetate, necessitate for process improvement in terms of maximum conversion and economical usage of raw materials. statistical design of experiments was utilized to enhance conversion in both batch and plug flow reactors.a full two level factorial ...

the performance of a plug flow electrocoagulation reactor for the treatment of cattle abattoir(slaughterhouse) wastewater was investigated. a cylindrical iron reactor was operated as a cathode at arecycling batch mode while three iron rods located at the center of the reactor were used as an anode. theeffects of different parameters, including the current density, the supporting electrolyte dos...

A continuous flow parallel reactor system has been developed to provide a rapid and seamless transition from the discovery phase and production phase of chemical synthesis, particularly in low volume-high value pharmaceuticals production. Using a single fixed bed catalytic meso reactor, reactions can be screened on a small discovery scale over short time scales. The intensified process produces...

We are investigating catalytically enhanced production of singlet oxygen, O2(aΔg), observed by reaction of O2/He discharge effluents on an iodine oxide film surface in a microwave discharge-flow reactor at 320 K. We have previously reported a two-fold increase in the O2(a) yields by this process, and corresponding enhancement of I(P1/2) excitation and small-signal gain upon injection of I2. In ...
