As everyone known the significant progresses have been achieved on tokamaks, which means that the scientific feasibility of tokamak reactor for fusion energy has been achieved (Q=1). But for commercial power plan the economics will be very important. Therefore to find improved (advanced) confinement operation model is the popular topic always for tokamak research. On other hand if any tokamak o...

Hydrodynamic cavitation is a promising application in wastewater treatment due to its simple reactor design and capacity in large-scale operation. Theoretical studies including the basic mechanism of pollutant degradation, modeling of pressure distribution in the cavitation reactor, and bubble dynamics models coupled with chemical reactions are evaluated. Experimental setups with different cavi...

A microchannel reactor specially designed for periodic operation and a process to deposit a catalyst, -alumina, inside the reactor channels were developed. The hydrodynamics of the reactor was characterised. Although the #ow in the microchannels is laminar, a uniform radial concentration pro"le and consequently a narrow residence time distribution were obtained. Depending on the manufacturing m...

Cometabolism of trichloroethylene (TCE) by phenol-fed enrichments was evaluated in four reactors with distinct phenol feeding patterns. The reactors were inoculated from the same source, operated at the same average dilution rate, and received the same mass of phenol over time. Only the timing of phenol addition differed. Reactor C received phenol continuously; reactor SC5 received phenol semic...

In this work the dynamic study of EPS (Extracellular Polymeric Substances) concentration and distribution during the operation of two different reactor configurations (UASB and EGSB) is presented, treating medium (5 g COD/l) and low-concentrated (0.5 g COD/l) wastewater. Medium-concentrated wastewater was supplied for granules maturation as well as for stabilisation of the process. The effect o...

The purpose of this paper is to optimize the function of a batch reactor operating in open and closed loops. A simultaneous optimization method is employed. This optimization method provides optimal solution at a finite number of points in time. However, the actual batch reactor operation may deteriorate if the computed optimal input is improperly applied to the process. In the open-loop operat...

The Paper describes basic information about MCNP calculations and experimental measurements at the VR-1 reactor and their evaluation. The preparation of calculations and verification of the experiments are integral part of the VR-1 reactor operation. The neutronics calculations and analyses are often necessary condition to gain the approval to experiments realization at the reactor VR-1. The pa...

A concise overview is given on materials applied in fusion technology. The influence of plasma operation on the behaviour of reactor components and diagnostic systems is discussed with emphasis on effects caused by fast particles reaching the reactor wall. Issues related to primary and induced radioactivity are reviewed: tritium inventory and transmutation. Tritium breeding in the reactor blank...
