Megawatt pilot target experiment (MEGAPIE) is an international project aimed at demonstrating the feasibility of a liquid lead–bismuth target for spallation facilities at a maximum beam power level of 1 MW. The thermal-hydraulics data measured during the M ...
The commercial material PM2000 is investigated as a representative for the material class of Oxide Dispersion Strengthened (ODS) steels. ODS steels are envisaged as substance of structural components in Very High Temperature Reactors (VHTR). The VHTR conce ...
Aerobic granular sludge-based reactors represent an attractive alternative to conventional activated sludge systems. Compared to activated sludge, the use of aerobic granular sludge reactors is advantageous because (i) considerably less area is required fo ...
The selection of optimal parameters in high pressure die casting process (HPDC) has been long recognized as a complex nonlinear problem due to the involvement of a large number of interconnected process variables, each influencing the flow behavior of molt ...
The Tokamak a Configuration Variable (TCV) tokamak is equipped with high-power (4.5 MW), real-time-controllable EC systems and flexible shaping, and plays an important role in fusion research by broadening the parameter range of reactor relevant regimes, b ...
A computer model for the MEGAwatt Pilot Target Experiment (MEGAPIE) was developed, verified and applied to the analysis of the reference accident, resulting from the hypothetical loss of a Pb–Bi inventory and subsequent cooling down of the target with free ...
Hybrid solids, made of chem. dissimilar components, have drawn much interest in advanced materials synthesis due to their structural versatility and multifunctional properties. For example, metal-org. frameworks (MOFs) have been extensively explored for th ...
Theory and experiment show that two electromagnetic modes are necessary and sufficient to determine the field nonuniformity within a parallel-plate rf capacitive plasma reactor. These two modes give rise to the standing wave effect and the telegraph effect ...
Ionic liquids (IL) are the focus of growing interest over the last few years due to their low vapour pressure being beneficial for replacing common organic solvents with high vapour pressure. IL synthesised via alkylation are produced in batch or semi-batc ...
This study addresses the development of a compact reactor for oxidative steam-reforming of methanol (OSRM) to produce hydrogen in autothermal mode for fuel cells. The string reactor uses catalytically active brass wires with a diameter of 500 mu m placed i ...
