The aim of the present study was to design a solar reactor and analyze its performance for removal of methyl violet dye (MV) from water with titanium dioxide as the photocatalyst. The solar reactor was made up of a flat-plate colorless glass of dimensions 1000 x 750 x 4 mm. The base of the reactor was made of aluminum. Various operating parameters were studied to investigate the behavior of the...

Tentative design and implementation of an irradiation facility are described, which will add a 14 MeV component to the neutron spectrum in a thermal research reactor irradiation facility. The idea is to exploit the Li(n,T)He reaction in a blanket of lithium in a deuterated environment, placed in a thermal reactor irradiation channel. Existing literature describing similar devices is reviewed, t...

Photocatalytic micro-channel reactor was built by using stereolithography process. A reactor with a micro-channel as a support of TiO2 photocatalyst was designed in order to reduce dimensions while improving the efficiency. Photocatalytic activity of the micro-reactor at various flow rates was evaluated by the inlet and outlet concentrations of salicylic acid as a model of pollutant. Influence ...

nuclear cross sections that determine core multiplication strongly depend on core temperature (e.g., the doppler, moderator density effects etc). on the other hand, since this heat is generated by the neutron flux in the reactor core, the temperature distribution in the core will depend heavily on its neutronic behavior. fuel centerline temperature could be the limiting constraint on reactor po...
