The aim of this work is to develop a microstructured reactor based on filamentous catalysts for the Oxidative Steam-Reforming of Methanol (OSRM), to produce hydrogen as feed for a fuel cell, in an autothermal way. Hydrogen is produced by the methanol Steam ...
Plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD) of thin films such as amorphous silicon has widespread applications especially in the field of photovoltaic solar cells and thin-film transistors for flat screen production. Industrial applications require ...
Although the supercritical-pressure or high-performance light water reactor (HPLWR) concept is largely based on the well-established technological experience available with conventional light water reactors, there is still no consensus on various key desig ...
Fuel rods with burnup values beyond 50GWd/t are characterised by relatively large amounts of fission products and a high abundance of major and minor actinides. Of particular interest is the change in the reactivity of the fuel as a function of burnup and ...
An anisotropic structured fixed-bed divided into 2 reactor parts is a bundle reactor consisting of fiber-bundle. The fiber-bundle ordered in the flow direction are formed from filaments; the diam. of the fiber-bundle is smaller than its length and bigger t ...

The design of modern BWR assemblies is governed by general requirements such as safe and reliable performance, optimal fuel utilization and cycle length, and a high degree of flexibility in reactor operation. These requirements are fulfilled via the use of ...
For many years various countries with access to commercial reprocessing services have been routinely recycling plutonium as UO2/PuO 2 mixed oxide (MOX) fuel in light water reactors (LWRs). This LWR MOX recycle strategy is still widely regarded as an interi ...
A new reactor concept for catalyzed three-phase reactions based on the use of woven fibrous materials for bubble columns is suggested. In comparison to conventional multistage bubble columns, the trays are made from woven fibrous catalytic layers. The hydr ...
This paper considers the minimization of batch time for an industrial inverse-emulsion polymerization reactor in the presence of uncertainty. A first optimization study resulted in the current industrial practice of a semi-adiabatic profile (isothermal ope ...
Results concerning the coupling of the steam reforming and total oxidn. of methanol in a two-passage reactor are presented. A com. available copper-based catalyst is used for the steam reforming. For the total oxidn., a highly active cobalt oxide catalyst ...
