In the core of Chemical Engineering is the reactor design that includes most of all scientific disciplines. The reactor, in general, are treated ideally: mixed and plug-flow patterns. Unfortunately, it is observed in the real world a very different behavior from that expected. Thus, to characterize nonideal reactors is used, among others, residence time distribution function E(t), mean residenc...

This project will examine inert fuels containing ZrO2 and MgO as the inert matrix, with the relative amount of MgO varied from 30 % to 70 % in ZrO2. Reactor physics calculations will be used to examine suitable quantities of burnable poisons from the candidate elements Gd, Er, or Hf with reactor grade Pu providing the fissile component, with up to 10 % of Pu. Ceramics will be synthesized and ch...

The enactment of strict laws on reducing pollution and controlling combustion has given rise to the necessity of considering a new approach to energy supply in the future. One such approach is the use of hydrogen as an alternative to fossil fuels. Hydrogen and synthesis gas are typically produced through the partial oxidation of methane in porous media. This process was theoretically simula...

At the present time, JSC Baltiskiy zavod has built and transported to deployment site at Pevek Akademik Lomonosov , a floating nuclear power unit (FNPU), project 20870. There are also three multi-purpose icebreakers of 22220 ( Arktika Sibir Ural ) under construction being different readiness stages. A decision been made build icebreaker, Lider even higher power. Integral reactors developed by O...

In this study the catalytic dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene to styrene was investigated in a simulated tubular sodalite membrane reactor. The high quality microporous sodalite membrane was synthesized by direct hydrothermal method and characterized by single gas permeation measurements. The performance of the prepared membrane showed high potential for application in a dehydrogenation membrane ...

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a popular tool in the water industry for assessing ultraviolet (UV) reactor performance. However, due to the size of open-channel-type UV reactor systems, the CFD model requires significant computational time. Thus, most evaluations have been conducted using very simplified models. In order to ensure the reliability of this simplified CFD model, precise num...

Thermal motion of nuclides has a significant effect on the reaction probabilities and scattering kinematics of neutrons. Since also the nuclides in nuclear reactor materials are in constant thermal motion, the temperature-induced effects need to be taken into account in all neutron transport calculations. This task is notably complicated by the fact that the temperature distributions within ope...

In this article, the improved space-time conservation element and solution element (CESE) method are used to simulate the dynamic treatment of the hydrocracking reactor. The dynamic model consists of four lumps: vacuum gas oil (VGO), middle distillate, naphtha, and gas which is dissolved by this method. The offered method can solve the partial differential equations caused by the reactions insi...
