Plasma diagnostics for large area, industrial RF parallel-plate reactors can be useful for process optimization and monitoring, provided that their implementation is practical and non-intrusive. For instance, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) absorption sp ...
Until about the year 2030, current-day nuclear power plants (NPPs) will be replaced by so-called Gen-III or Gen-III+ units, which are mainly based on light water reactor technology. The principal new features are increased safety and improved economical ef ...
In the frame of this thesis, two similar high current DC arc (HCDCA) plasma sources were investigated in a low gas pressure regime (10-3-10-2 mbar). One of them was initially designed for the epitaxial growth of silicon and silicon germanium (LEP), the oth ...
The present paper is related to the design and neutronic characterization of the principal control assembly system for the reference large (2400 MWth) Generation IV gas-cooled fast reactor (GFR), which makes use of ceramic-ceramic (CERCER) plate-type fuel- ...
The PhD thesis deals with the optimization of the reaction calorimetry technique to monitor chemical reactions in supercritical fluids. The aim is to develop this thermal analysis technique to monitor the heat released by a chemical reaction in a high pres ...
Hydrogen production by non-thermal plasma (NTP) assisted direct decomposition of hydrogen sulfide was carried out in a novel dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) reactor with the inner electrode made of sintered metal fibers (SMF) also functioning as catalys ...
The effects of neutron irradiation on austenitic stainless steels, usually used for the manufacturing of internal elements of nuclear reactors (e.g. the core shrouds), are the alteration of the microstructure, and, as a consequence, of the mechanical prope ...
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 ...
Aerobic granular sludge is a promising alternative to traditional activated sludge basins in wastewater treatment plants (WWTP). Granular sludge has much better settling characteristics than activated sludge. Furthermore it can remove carbon, nitrogen and ...
During the early stages of research and development chemical industry needs flexible and versatile tools to investigate chemical reaction systems. An important part of the optimisation of a process considering economic factors, risk analysis and environmen ...
