Development of MURR flux trap model for simulation and prediction of sample loading reactivity worth and isotope production
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)University of Missouri Research Reactor (MURR) is the highest power university research reactor in America. It has been supplying various radioisotopes for more than 20 years. The flux trap, locating in the center island ... -
DSMC multicomponent aerosol dynamics : sampling algorithms and aerosol processes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)The focus of this research is on the use of the Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) technique to elucidate the role of various phenomena that influence the evolution of nuclear aerosols. Several sampling algorithms and ... -
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 ... -
Materials study supporting thermochemical hydrogen cycle sulfuric acid decomposer design
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)A laboratory scale sulfuric acid decomposer simulator was constructed at the Nuclear Science and Engineering Institute at the University of Missouri- Columbia. The simulator was capable of producing the temperatures and ... -
Modeling of molecular and particulate transport in dry spent nuclear fuel canisters
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)There are two important phenomena associated with the depressurization of a dry spent nuclear fuel canister after the formation of a through-wall pinhole breach. The first phenomenon is the release from the canister of any ...
