Generation of graphite particles by rotational/spinning abrasion and their characterization
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)Graphite particle generation by inter-pebble abrasion and by abrasion of pebbles with the containment vessel during operation of a Pebble Bed Reactor (PBR) is an issue of interest in the safety analysis of this class of ... -
Modeling and maximum theoretical efficiencies of linearly graded alphavoltaic and betavoltaltaic cells
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)This thesis presents a study on the optimization of the energy deposited by alpha and beta particles in the depletion region of a silicon carbide as alphavoltaic and betavoltaic cells using Monte Carlo codes. Two Monte ... -
Vapor pressure of RDX - experimental and correlation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)Explosive devices are one of the most well known tools used by terrorists and those wishing to cause mass destruction. Current technology cannot detect hidden explosive materials such as RDX, TNT, TATB, and others well ...
