Monte Carlo analysis of BWR geometries using a cycle check-up methodology

Mathieu Hursin, Hakim Ferroukhi, Dimitri Rochman, Abdelhamid Dokhane, Alexander Vasiliev

Recent fuel anomalies at a Swiss power plant have motivated the development at PSI of the "Cycle Check-Up" (CHUP) methodology which consists in performing Monte Carlo transport calculations using nuclide compositions and thermal-hydraulic boundary conditio ...

The effect of in-situ linear stress gradient on the frictional shear rupture growth in 2D

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Regina Fakhretdinova, Alexis Alejandro Sáez Uribe

Deep heat mining requires activation of slip on pre-existing geological discontinuities and the creation of hydraulically conductive fracture networks. Fluid injection or diffusion of ground waters can rise the fluid pressure near pre-existing fractures an ...

An “ideal lignin” facilitates full biomass utilization

Jeremy Luterbacher, Li Shuai, Yuan Li

Lignin, a major component of lignocellulosic biomass, is crucial to plant growth and development but is a major impediment to efficient biomass utilization in various processes. Valorizing lignin is increasingly realized as being essential. However, rapid ...

Characterization of aerosol composition, aerosol acidity, and organic acid partitioning at an agriculturally intensive rural southeastern US site

Athanasios Nenes, Yixing Chen, Hairun Guo

The implementation of stringent emission regulations has resulted in the decline of anthropogenic pollutants including sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NO x), and carbon monoxide (CO). In contrast, ammonia (NH3) emissions are largely unregulated, wit ...

Modelling of the neutron production in a mixed beam DT neutron generator

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Jonathan Graves, Yves Martin, Duccio Testa, Patrick Blanchard, Alessandro Pau, Cristian Sommariva, Henri Weisen, Richard Pitts, Yann Camenen, Jan Horacek, Javier García Hernández, Marco Wischmeier, Nicola Vianello, Mikhail Maslov, Federico Nespoli, Yao Zhou, David Pfefferlé, Davide Galassi, Antonio José Pereira de Figueiredo, Jonathan Marc Philippe Faustin, Liang Yao, Dalziel Joseph Wilson, Hamish William Patten, Samuel Lanthaler, Bernhard Sieglin, Otto Asunta

Compact DT neutron generators based on accelerators are often built on the principle of a mixed beam operation, meaning that deuterium (D) and tritium (T) are both present in the ion beam and in the target. Moreover, the beam consists of a mixture of ions ...

Fluid thermodynamics control fault heating and weakening under upper crustal stress conditions

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, François Xavier Thibault Passelègue, Mateo Alejandro Acosta

Although fluids are pervasive among tectonic faults, thermo-hydro-mechanical couplings during earthquake slip remain unclear. In particular, fluid induced seismicity is today a subject of major interest for the geo-energy community. We report full dynamic ...

Modelling of fluid injection into a frictional weakening dilatant fault

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Federico Ciardo

Fluid injection at a pressure below the local minimum principal total stress in a fault may (re)activate shear crack propagation (hydroshearing). Because of the presence of asperities along the fault's surfaces, the fault hydraulic width increase with the ...

Faecal sludge treatment: Optimization of Ascaris eggs enumeration and inactivation, and start-up of an anaerobic thermophilic acid-phase digester

Léa Cécile Randin

Faecal sludge (FS) accumulates in onsite sanitation technologies, which play a prevailing role in low- and middle-income countries. However, FS management is generally lacking. FS is usually directly discharged in the environment despite its high organic l ...

Chiral Calcium–BINOL Phosphate Catalyzed Diastereo- and Enantioselective Synthesis of syn-1,2-Disubstituted 1,2-Diamines: Scope and Mechanistic Studies

Jieping Zhu

A highly enantioselective, chiral, Lewis acid calcium–bis(phosphate) complex, Ca[3a]n, which catalyzes the electrophilic amination of enamides with azodicarboxylate derivatives 2 to provide versatile chiral 1,2-hydrazinoimines 4 is disclosed. The reaction ...
