Abstract: Development of ceramic receiver technology for advanced solar thermal energy applications is being pursued in order to achieve significant reductions in energy cost and increase the potential ...

Abstract: Cavitation characteristics of a jet pump were explored in tests with 80°C and 280°C water. A cavitation coefficient based on suction velocity and net suction head was used to correlate ...

Abstract: The efficiency of jet pumps used in Boiling Water Reactors has been significantly improved through extensive development efforts. These jet pumps are used inside the reactor pressure vessel as ...

Abstract: Analysis for an avionics application typical of remotely located, intermittently operated avionics on aircraft and missiles show that a large weight reduction (about 9:1) can be obtained by using ...
