Uncertainty analysis of steady-state calorimetric emissivity measurements
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
Determining the accuracy and uncertainty in total hemispherical emissivity data is important in the uncertainty quantification of predictive models using radiant heat transfer. Very High Temperatures Reactors (VHTR) are ...
Chapman-Enskog solutions to arbitrary order in Sonine polynomials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
The Chapman-Enskog solutions of the Boltzmann equations provide a basis for the computation of important transport coefficients for simple gases and gas mixtures. These coefficients include the viscosity, the thermal ...
An exploration of chemical agents detection using the quantum fingerprint [superscript TM] technology
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
The detection of chemical agents using a novel, gas-phase, sensor technology has been examined experimentally in this work. The goal of the work was to determine the feasibility of using solid-state materials as gas-phase ...
Transport of helium and fission product gases in porous/fractured geometry
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Measuring and quantifying the transport of helium and fission products in reactor materials is a critical element in the future success of Very High ...
Measurement of fission product diffusion in VHTR materials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Measuring and quantifying the diffusion of fission products in reactor materials is a critical element of the future success of Very High Temperature Reactors (VHTRs). While the extreme temperatures, which may be in excess ...
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 ...
Construction of a test chamber for ultra-low gas concentrations and its use for tesing novel aluminum nitride sensors by Q-DLTS
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] A novel sensor comprised of a metallized wide band-gap semiconductor substrate and a software-based Charge-Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy (Q-DLTS) ...
Generation, collection and characterization of nanoparticles and their diffusion in arbitrary tumor and normal tissue geometry
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Nanoparticles have unique electronic, optical, mechanical, magnetic and chemical properties that are significantly different from those of the bulk ...
