The European nuclear fuel cycle (covering the EU-27, Switzerland and Ukraine) was modeled using material flow analysis (MFA).The analysis was based on publicly available data from nuclear energy agencies and industries, national trade offices, and nongover ...
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 ...
In order to meet the steadily increasing worldwide energy demand, nuclear power is expected to continue playing a key role in electricity production. Currently, the large majority of nuclear power plants are operated with thermal-neutron spectra and need r ...
An electroplated copper substrate was evaluated for heat dissipation in 1.55-μm optically pumped vertical extended cavity surface emitting lasers (OP-VECSELs). It is a cost-effective and flexible solution compared with the previously proposed chemical vapo ...
The thermal performance of Fe-(12-14)Cr-2W-0.3Ti-0.3Y(2)O(3) ODS reduced activation ferritic steels, which are considered as candidate first wall materials for the future fusion power reactors and were manufactured by mechanical alloying in hydrogen and ho ...
Model composite plates composed of highly conductive slender copper fibres impregnated with a poorly conductive and transparent PMMA matrix were processed with different fibrous architectures, i.e. with various controlled fibre contents and orientations. T ...
ITER has diagnostics with machine protection, basic and advanced control, and physics roles. Several are distributed on the inner and outer periphery of the vacuum vessel. They have reduced maintainability compared to diagnostics in ports. They also endure ...
The thermal properties of nanofilled and microfilled restorative composites (Filtek Supreme XT and Filtek Z250) are studied in comparison with the ones of teeth. Our results show slightly decreased values of the thermal constants of Filtek Supreme XT with ...
Reduced basis approximations for geometrically parametrized advection- diffusion equations are investigated. The parametric domains are assumed to be images of a reference domain through a piecewise polynomial map; this may lead to nonaffinely parametrized ...
Thermal management materials frequently have multi-phase composite character with complex architecture of the constituents. As a result, design rules are needed which can be used in selection of the phases and optimizing their volume fractions. The study s ...
