Background. The small characteristic sizes (in the range of 102 - 103 μm) of Microstructured reactors (MSR) lead to very high specific interfacial area which, in turn, increases heat- and mass transfer efficiency. However, for quasi instantaneous exothermi ...

Appraisal of Core Analysis Methods against Zero-Power Experiments on Full-Scale BWR Fuel Assemblies

Flavio Dante Giust

The present doctoral research aims at the appraisal of nodal core simulators used for the calculation of commercial boiling water reactor (BWR) cores, against measurements carried out at the Paul Scherrer Institute under the LWR-PROTEUS experimental progra ...

TRACE and TRAC-BF1 Benchmark Against Leibstadt Data During the Event Inadvertent Opening of Relief Valves

Damar Canggih Wicaksono

In framework of introducing TRACE code to transient analyses system codes for Leibstadt Power Plant (KKL), a conversion process of existing TRAC-BF1 model to TRACE has been started within KKL. In the first step, TRACE thermal-hydraulic model for KKL has be ...

Improvement of the Decay Heat Removal Characteristics of the Generation IV Gas-cooled Fast Reactor

Aaron Simon Epiney

Gas cooling in nuclear power plants (NPPs) has a long history, the corresponding reactor types developed in France, the UK and the US having been thermal neutron-spectrum systems using graphite as the moderator. The majority of NPPs worldwide, however, are ...

Structured catalytic wall microreactor for efficient performance of exothermic reactions

Lioubov Kiwi, Bryan Bromley, Marina Ruta, Turan Eslanloo Pereira

A novel microreactor with structured catalytic wall (SCWMR) has been developed for highly exothermic, gas/solid reactions and tested for the selective acetylene hydrogenation. The reactor design is similar to the so-called "slit microreactor". The structur ...
