Preliminary safety analysis of the TRANSMUTEX sub-critical reactor using the GeN-Foam multi-physics solver
Andreas Pautz, Carlo Fiorina, Thomas Arthur Louis Joseph Guilbaud
This work presents a preliminary safety analysis of the accelerator-driven system under development at TRANSMUTEX. It is a sub-critical lead-cooled fast reactor with a nominal power of 300 MWth having the following features: (1) an inert-matrix fuel; (2) a ...
Oxford2023Insights into hardening, plastically deformed zone and geometrically necessary dislocations of two ion-irradiated FeCrAl(Zr)-ODS ferritic steels: A combined experimental and simulation study
As one of promising candidate materials for fuel claddings and structural components in the Gen-IV fission reactors, FeCrAl(Zr)-ODS ferritic steels were studied to well understand the radiation hardening behavior. Nanoindentation (NI) hardness and plastica ...
2022Design, prototyping, and thermo-mechanical modelling of a neutron spallation target impacted by high-energy proton-beam pulses in the n_TOF facility at CERN
This manuscript describes the design work and the R&D activities carried out for the third-generation neutron production target in the neutron Time-Of-Flight (n_TOF) facility at the European Laboratory for Particle Physics (CERN). The facility is composed ...
EPFL2022Design of the third-generation lead-based neutron spallation target for the neutron time-of-flight facility at CERN
Roland Logé, Nicola Colonna, Raffaele Esposito
The neutron time-of-flight (n_TOF) facility at the European Laboratory for Particle Physics (CERN) is a pulsed white-spectrum neutron spallation source producing neutrons for two experimental areas: the Experimental Area 1 (EAR1), located 185 m horizontall ...
AMER PHYSICAL SOC2021Operational Map And Thermal Performance Of A Thermosyphon Cooling System For Compact Servers
John Richard Thome, Jackson Braz Marcinichen, Raffaele Luca Amalfi, Filippo Cataldo
This paper advances the state-of-the-art in novel passive two-phase systems for more efficient cooling of datacenters and telecom central offices compared to the traditional air-based cooling solutions (e.g. aisle-based containment systems). The proposed p ...
AMER SOC MECHANICAL ENGINEERS2021Progress in modelling solidification microstructures in metals and alloys: dendrites and cells from 1700 to 2000
This is the first account of the history of our understanding of, and ability to model, solidification microstructures. Its objective is to retrace the scientific steps made, from the earliest observations of the eighteenth century to our present-day under ...
TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD2019The Environmental Photochemistry of Oxide Surfaces and the Nature of Frozen Salt Solutions: A New in Situ XPS Approach
Recent years have witnessed fast advancements in near ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron (NAPP) spectroscopy, which is emerging as a powerful tool for the investigation of surfaces in presence of vapors and liquids. In this paper we present a new chamber ...
Springer2016Textured BaTiO3 by templated grain growth and electrophoretic deposition
[001]-Oriented barium titanate (BaTiO3) ceramics were prepared by templated grain growth using [001]-oriented plate-like template BaTiO3 particles, synthesized via the molten salt method. Platelets synthesized in a 2-step or 3-step molten salt were used in ...
Springer Verlag2015Potential of Small-Scale Turbomachinery for Waste Heat Recovery on Automotive Internal Combustion Engines
Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Eliott Philippe Guenat, Violette Mounier, Kévin Rosset
This paper investigates the waste heat recovery potential of internal combustion engines, using organic Rankine cycles running on small-scale radial turbomachinery. ORC are promising candidates for low-grade thermal sources and the use of dynamic expanders ...
2015Coupled 3-D Neutronics/Thermal-Hydraulics Optimization Study For Improving The Response Of A 3600 Mw(Thermal) Sfr Core To An Unprotected Loss-Of-Flow Accident
Rakesh Chawla, Konstantin Mikityuk, Aurélia Chenu, Jiri Krepel, Kaichao Sun
The sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR), as a fast neutron spectrum system, is characterized by several performance advantages. In particular, the long-term operation of an SFR core in a closed fuel cycle will lead to an equilibrium state, where both reactivi ...
