In the pebble-bed high temperature reactor under construction in China, called HTR-PM, the spherical fuel elements continuously flow downward in the cylindrical core. After the discharge, the burnup of each pebble is checked at the core outlet and, accordi ...
Nuclear thermal-hydraulics (TH) system codes use several parametrized physical or empirical models to describe complex two-phase flow phenomena. The reliability of their predictions is as such primarily affected by the uncertainty associated with the param ...
The semester project was under the course Physics lab IVb at EPFL. At EPFL site, the experimental fission reactor CROCUS is shielded by concrete which becomes radioactive as a result of neutron interaction. The activation is of interest to study for valida ...
EIGER is the new thermal triple-axis-spectrometer at the continuous spallation SINQ at PSI. The shielding of the monochromator consists only of non- or low magnetizable materials, which allows the use of strong magnetic fields with the instrument. This shi ...
Most microfluidic fuel cells use highly soluble fuels and oxidants in streams of liquid electrolytes to overcome the mass transport limitations that result from the low solubility of gaseous reactants such as hydrogen and oxygen. In this work, we address t ...
The EUROfusion Consortium established in 2014 and composed by European Fusion Laboratories, and in particular the Power Plant Physics and Technology department aims to develop a conceptual design for the Fusion DEMOnstration Power Plant, DEMO. With respect ...
Solar-driven high-temperature electrolysis (HTE) and thermochemical cycles (TCC) are two promising pathways for fuel processing and energy storage, which are considered in this thesis. The goals of this thesis are: i) offering engineering guidelines at sys ...
The reactor dynamics code DYN3D being developed at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf is currently under extension for Sodium cooled Fast Reactor analyses. This paper provides an overview on the new version of DYN3D to be used for SFR core calculatio ...
Nowadays, the fine chemical industry requires increasingly faster time-to-market as well as economically efficient and safe processes. In addition, the growing product variety needs more versatile production plants able to produce from small amounts up to ...
A simple and general procedure has been developed to determine the thermal behaviour of a reactor based on heat balance, PID temperature control, and jacket behaviour. Using only temperature heating/cooling ramps followed by isothermal stages, such a proce ...
