The hybrid kinematic mechanism (HKM) as an alternative remote handling subsystem of the Demonstration Fusion Power Plant (DEMO) breeding blanket (BB) is undergoing extensive theoretical analysis and feasibility verification. In this paper, forward inverse models HKM are derived by combining Newtonian iterative method analytical method. Cartesian space trajectory planning designed based on traje...

Transmutation of burnup products for a typical VVER-1000 reactor in fusion-fission hybrid has been investigated using MCNPX 2.6.0 calculation code. Burnup fission was performed 1000 MW practical power VVER core UO2 fuel and light water as its coolant moderator, well. The have classified separated according to their half-lives usages, the remaining wastes were used fuels reactor. also implemente...

Two-level controllers for dissolved oxygen reference trajectory tracking for activated sludge processes is proposed and investigated. Both the nutrient and the phosphorous removal from a wastewater by its biological treatment using an activated sludge technology are considered. Typically, an aeration system itself is a complicated hybrid nonlinear dynamical system with faster dynamics compared ...

A thermophilic terephthalate-degrading methanogenic consortium was successfully enriched for 272 days in an anaerobic hybrid reactor, and the microbial structure was characterized using terminal RFLPs, clone libraries and fluorescence in-situ hybridization with rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probes. All the results suggested that Methanothrix thermophila-related methanogens, Desulfotomaculum-rel...

A novel kind of immobilized trypsin reactor based on organic-inorganic hybrid silica monoliths has been developed. With the presence of cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) in the polymerization mixture, the hybrid silica monolithic support was prepared in a 100 microm i.d. capillary by the sol-gel method with tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) as precursors. Su...

An experimental study of anaerobic treatment was performed by hybrid upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (HUASB) reactor to treat produced water (PW) of an onshore crude oil terminal (COD: 1597 mg/L, NH3-N: 14.7 mg/L, phenol: 13.8 mg/L, BOD5: 862 mg/L, sodium: 6240 mg/L and chloride 9530 mg/L). The produced water with high salinity and other toxic substances will inhibit the methanogens performance...

According to the Korean long-term plan for nuclear technology development, KAERI is conducting a R&D project on the partitioning and transmutation (P&T) of long-lived radionuclides. The study for the partitioning is focused on the development of pyroprocessing based on an electrorefining of actinides because it is a kind of proliferation-resistive technology, where all the transuranic metals ar...

To recover gold, this work used a novel direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) reactor with a hybrid electrolytic process. Analytical results demonstrate that permeate flux increased as feed -2 -1 temperature and feed flow rate increased. Permeate flux increased from 2.8 to 17.6 kg m h when -2 -1 temperature increased from 30 to 70 °C, and increased from 9.2 to 19.9 kg m h when the feed fl...

Neural networks and hybrid models were used to study substrate and product inhibition observed in the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellobiose at 40oC, 50oC and 55oC, pH 4.8, using cellobiose solutions with or without the addition of exogenous glucose. Firstly, the initial velocity method and nonlinear fitting with Statistica were used to determine the kinetic parameters for either the uncompetitive ...
