Single CSTR can be as effective as an SBR in selecting PHA-storing biomass from municipal wastewater-derived feedstock
A key step in the production of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) from organic waste streams is the selection of a biomass with a high PHA-storage capacity (selection-step), which is usually performed in sequencing batch reactor (SBR) according to the state-of- ...
2023Extension of GeN-Foam to departure from nucleate boiling prediction and validation against the OECD/NRC PSBT benchmark
Carlo Fiorina, Yuhang Niu, Hao Qin
The prediction of departure from nucleate boiling (DNB) has always been a crucial aspect of thermal-hydraulic codes for the analysis of Light Water Reactors. In this paper, GeN-Foam, a multi-physics code developed based on OpenFOAM, has been enhanced to in ...
Lausanne2023Advanced methodologies for modeling and assessment of SFR safety functions
The present doctoral work was performed to contribute to the conceptual design development and safety assessment of a Generation IV Sodium Fast Reactor (SFR) in the frame of the European Sodium Fast Reactor Safety Measures Assessment and Research Tools (ES ...
EPFL2022Data-driven distributed online learning control for islanded microgrids
Alireza Karimi, Seyed Sohail Madani, Dongdong Zheng
In this paper, a new discrete-time data-driven distributed learning control strategy for frequency/voltage regulation and active/reactive power sharing of islanded microgrids is proposed. Instead of using the static droop relationship and the conventional ...
2022Analysis of the first COLIBRI fuel rods oscillation campaign in the CROCUS reactor for the European project CORTEX
Andreas Pautz, Vincent Pierre Lamirand, Mathieu Hursin, Carlo Fiorina, Oskari Ville Pakari, Pavel Frajtag, Daniel Godat, Axel Guy Marie Laureau, Adolfo Rais
The Horizon2020 European project CORTEX aims at developing an innovative core monitoring technique that allows detecting anomalies in nuclear reactors, such as excessive vibrations of core internals, flow blockage, or coolant inlet perturbations. The techn ...
2021Role of mean stress on fatigue behavior of a 316L austenitic stainless steel in LWR and air environments
Philippe Spätig, Hans-Peter Seifert
Mean stress effects on fatigue life of a stainless steel in air and boiling water reactor (BWR) environments were evaluated by load-controlled tests. In stress-life, non-zero mean stresses increase life in low cycle fatigue regime in both environments and ...
