Steady-state neutronic analysis of converting the UK CONSORT reactor for ADS experiments

Steady State Operability Characteristics of an Adiabatic Fixed-Bed Reactor for Methanol Dehydration

Operability analysis as one of the most important bridges between process design and process control helps the process designer to investigate the control issues quite early in the design stage. Recently, Vinson and Georgakis suggested a steady state geometrical operability index as a quantitative measure for assessment of process operability. In...

Monte Carlo Neutronic Analysis of A Loosely Coupled Reactor*

Steady State Analysis of Nanofuel Droplet ‎Evaporation

The potential for nanofuels as one of the clean sources of energy on account of its enhanced combustion performance coupled with low emissions has been established. Considering the importance of the fuel evaporation phase in the entire combustion process, this work presents an attempt at applying the steady state analysis equations to nanofuel experimental data obtained from the li...

A FAST MESH-FREE GALERKIN METHOD FOR THE ANALYSIS OF STEADY-STATE HEAT TRANSFER

The element-free Galerkin method is employed for two-dimensional analysis of steady-state heat transfer. The unknown response of the system, i.e. temperature is approximated using the moving least squares technique. Numerical integration of governing simultaneous system of equations is performed by Gauss quadrature and new modified nodal integration techniques. Numerical examples and tests have...

Neutronic Analysis Studies of the Spallation Target Window for a Gas Cooled Ads Concept

Some design options for transmutation devices are under consideration, one of them includes a window target cooled by eutectic Lead Bismuth for a gas cooled transmutation core. In this paper we will show the neutronic calculations that we have performed to obtain the heat deposition in the target material, the neutron flux produced in the target and the radiation damage in the structural materi...
