A holistic investigation of photocatalytic hydrogen generation
Photocatalytic (PC) solar hydrogen production is a promising way to provide green hydrogen using only sunlight and abundant reactants such as water. PC approaches use catalytically active semiconductor particles suspended in liquid electrolytes. The partic ...
EPFL2023Steady-state neutronic measurements and comprehensive numerical analysis for the BME training reactor
This paper describes steady-state reactor physics measurements and calculations that were performed for the Training Reactor of Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME TR) with the purpose of benchmarking. Based on the available geometry speci ...
2021Development of Advanced Methodologies for Monitoring and Modelling of Neutron Noise in Modern LWR Cores
Nuclear reactors are inherently stochastic systems, in which neutronic and thermal-hydraulic parameters fluctuate continuously even during steady-state conditions. In addition, structural components vibrate due to the coolant hydraulic forces. This stochas ...
EPFL2020A New Concept of Sensor for Ultra-high Levels of Radiation based on Radiation Enhanced Oxidation of Copper Thin-films
The Future Circular Collider (FCC) is the envisioned particle accelerator to be installed in the Geneva area (Switzerland). It could achieve an energy of 100 TeV by colliding proton beams (FCC-hh) travelling through a 100 km tunnel. Unprecedented radiation ...
EPFL2020A versatile and membrane-less electrochemical reactor for the electrolysis of water and brine
Demetri Psaltis, Christophe Moser, Pooria Hadikhani, Enrico Chinello
Renewables challenge the management of energy supply and demand due to their intermittency. A promising solution is the direct conversion of the excess electrical energy into valuable chemicals in electrochemical reactors that are inexpensive, scalable, an ...
2019Extension of the nodal code DYN3D to SFR applications
DYN3D is a well-established Light Water Reactor (LWR) simulation tool and is being extended for safety analyses of Sodium cooled Fast Reactors (SFRs) at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf. This thesis focuses on the first stage of the development pro ...
