Inertial electrostatic confinement: theoretical and experimental studies of spherical devices
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Inertial Electrostatic Confinement (IEC) is a means to confine ions for fusion purposes with electrostatic fields in a converging geometry. Its engineering simplicity makes it appealing when compared to magnetic confinement ...
Influence of inert gases on heat and mass transfer in next-generation nuclear reactors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Inert gases cause some unique challenges in nuclear fuel development. In this dissertation, we study the impact of inert gases on the transport behavior in nextgeneration fission and fusion reactors. Uranium--molybdenum ...
