The effective fraction of delayed photoneutrons (ph) has been theoretically defined and experimentally determined in various different configurations of the LWR-PROTEUS critical facility. The peculiarity lies in the fact that the reactor has D2O in only on ...
The content of this report is property of HTceramix and subject to restrictive distribution The goal of the project "Oxygen membranes for the partial oxidation of natural gas" was the pre-industrial evaluation of the concept of an electroceramic reactor, c ...
Neoclassical transport and a particle confinement are analysed for three 3-D reactor designs-the QAS3, the ST/sphellamak hybrid and the sphellamak-using the VENUS code. It is observed that neither the QAS3 nor the ST/sphellamak is truly aquasi-axisymmetric ...
Accurate critical experiments have been performed for the validation of total fission (Ftot) and 238U-capture (C8) reaction rate distributions obtained with CASMO-4, HELIOS, BOXER, and MCNP4B for the lower axial region of a real Westinghouse SVEA-96 + fuel ...
An overview of recent works (1998–2002) coupling Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) and Biological systems for wastewater treatment confirms the beneficial effects of such two-steps treatment at lab scale. In this paper, an innovative coupled solar-biologica ...
A one-step reaction scheme is proposed for prepn. of 2-methyl-1-naphthol from 1-tetralone. The process includes two fixed-bed reactors in line or a single reactor with a double-layered or mixed catalytic bed. The main advantage of the proposed scheme is to ...
Potential new electrolytes for dye-sensitized nanocryst. solar cells (DNSCs) of Graetzel type based on trialkylsulfonium iodides were studied. Room temp. molten salts of (Et2MeS)I, (Bu2MeS)I, and (Bu2EtS)I, with iodine in low concns., revealed good conduct ...
The Buss-Kneader has proven to be a suitable reactor for the polymerization of acrylates. In this second part, the polymerization of methyl methacrylate and the ter- polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA), hydroxyethyl methacrylate and n-butylmethacry ...
A novel design of microstructured membrane reactor with micro-channels formed between closely packed catalytic filaments is reported. The system comprises filaments of 7 mm in diam. and has a laminar flow with a short radial diffusion time. This leads to l ...
Critical experiments involving fuel pin gamma-scans have been performed to characterise total fission reaction rate axial distributions in a Westinghouse SVEA-96+ assembly under full-density water moderation [these investigations are part of the co-operati ...
