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 ...

On the development of multi-physics tools for nuclear reactor analysis based on OpenFOAM (R): state of the art, lessons learned and perspectives

Carlo Fiorina

In the last two decades, the use of OpenFOAM as a multi-physics library for nuclear applications has grown from a sporadic use for exploratory studies to a widespread application for the analysis of innovative reactor concepts and highly complex problems. ...

Techno-Economic Evaluation of Biological and Fluidised-Bed Based Methanation Process Chains for Grid-Ready Biomethane Production

Tilman J. Schildhauer, Andreas Gantenbein

Three different power-to-methane process chains with grid injection in two scales (1 MWel and 6 MWel) were analysed regarding their investment and operation cost. The process chains were based on biological or catalytic bubbling fluidised bed methanation i ...

Synthesis of grid compliant substitute natural gas from a representative biogas mixture in a hybrid Ni/Ru catalysed reactor

Andreas Züttel, Emanuele Moioli, Marco Calizzi, Robin Tobias Andreas Mutschler, Alexandre Borsay

We demonstrate biogas upgrading towards full CO2 conversion in mild conditions in a three-step reactor system using Ru- and Ni-based catalysts. In each of the three reactor stages, the temperature is carefully controlled, thus optimizing the reaction therm ...

Data assimilation of post-irradiation examination data for fission yields from GEF

Andreas Pautz, Mathieu Hursin, Dimitri Rochman, Daniel Jerôme Siefman

Nuclear data, especially fission yields, create uncertainties in the predicted concentrations of fission products in spent fuel which can exceed engineering target accuracies. Herein, we present a new framework that extends data assimilation methods to bur ...

L-mode-edge negative triangularity tokamak reactor

Olivier Sauter, Laurent Villard, Antoine Pierre Emmanuel Alexis Merle

The negative triangularity tokamak (NTT) is a unique reactor concept based on 'power-handling-first' philosophy with the heat exhaust problem as the leading concern. The present paper exposes a reactor concept using L-mode edge based on NTT configuration, ...

Breed-and-burn fuel cycle in molten salt reactors

Andreas Pautz, Jiri Krepel, Boris Aviv Hombourger

The operation of a reactor on an open but self-sustainable cycle without actinide separation is known as breed-and-burn. It has mostly been envisioned for use in solid-fueled fast-spectrum reactors such as sodium-cooled fast reactors. In this paper the app ...

Reactor simulations with nuclear data uncertainties

Andreas Pautz, Winfried Zwermann, Friederike Bostelmann, Alexander Aures

The paper demonstrates the influence of uncertainties in microscopic nuclear data on the results of reactor simulations, both for stationary and transient states. It gives an overview on the methods in use for uncertainty and sensitivity analyses with resp ...
