H-mode grade confinement in L-mode edge plasmas at negative triangularity on DIII-D

Plasmas with a negative triangularity shape have been created on the DIII-D tokamak that, despite maintaining standard L-mode edge radial profiles, reach volume averaged pressure levels typical of H-mode scenarios. Within the auxiliary power available for ...

A Continuous-flow Photocatalytic Reactor for the Precisely Controlled Deposition of Metallic Nanoparticles

Sina Abdolhosseinzadeh, Navid Haghmoradi

In this work, a novel photocatalytic reactor for the pulsed and controlled excitation of the photocatalyst and the precise deposition of metallic nanoparticles is developed. Guidelines for the replication of the reactor and its operation are provided in de ...

Simulation of the microfluidic mixing and the droplet generation for 3D printing of nuclear fuels

Manuel Alexandre Pouchon

This paper presents the computational fluid dynamics modeling of an additive manufacturing process that is candidate for the production of Gen IV nuclear reactor fuels. The modeled process combines the internal gelation to produce metal hydrous oxides with ...

Development and Application of Data Assimilation Methods in Reactor Physics

Daniel Jerôme Siefman

Simulations of nuclear reactor physics can disagree significantly from experimental evidence, even when the most accurate models are used. An important part of this bias from experiment is caused by nuclear data. The nuclear data have inherent uncertaintie ...

Parametric sensitivity in the Sabatier reaction over Ru/Al2O3 - theoretical determination of the minimal requirements for reactor activation

Andreas Züttel, Noris André Gallandat, Emanuele Moioli

The methanation of carbon dioxide is an option for chemical storage of renewable energy together with greenhouse gas reutilization because it offers a product with a high energy density. The reaction CO2 + 4H(2) CH4 + 2H(2)O is performed on a Ru/Al2O3 cata ...

Effects of collisionality and T e /T i on fluctuations in positive and negative δ tokamak plasmas

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Stefano Coda, Stephan Brunner, Laurie Porte, Gabriele Merlo, Matteo Fontana, Ajay Chandrarajan Jayalekshmi

The effects of negative triangularity () on confinement and fluctuations in plasmas covering a large range of parameters were investigated on the tokamak à configuration variable (TCV). The conditions explored in this paper include discharges where neutral ...

A versatile and membrane-less electrochemical reactor for the electrolysis of water and brine

Demetri Psaltis, Christophe Moser, Pooria Hadikhani, Enrico Chinello

Renewables challenge the management of energy supply and demand due to their intermittency. A promising solution is the direct conversion of the excess electrical energy into valuable chemicals in electrochemical reactors that are inexpensive, scalable, an ...

Dynamic Optimization of Reaction Systems via Exact Parsimonious Input Parameterization

Dominique Bonvin, Diogo Filipe Mateus Rodrigues

This paper discusses the use of parsimonious input parameterization for the dynamic optimization of reaction systems. This parameterization is able to represent the optimal inputs with only a few parameters. In the context of batch, semibatch, and continuo ...

High-Fidelity Determination of Nuclide Inventories for Radioactive Waste Disposal

Valentyn Bykov

The general license application (RBG) for the Swiss deep geological repository will be submitted in 2024. Furthermore, the decommissioning of the nuclear power plants (NPPs) is coming soon, with the Mühleberg NPP (KKM) scheduled to shut down in 2019. In su ...

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 ...
