Energetic and Exergetic Analyses of a Double-Pass Tubular Absorber for Application in Solar Towers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The present research integrates the concept of double-pass (DP) flows with high-temperature solar receivers to introduce an innovative design aimed at minimizing heat losses and optimizing performance. The new DP system ...
A Reduced Basis Approach for Modeling the Movement of Nuclear Reactor Control Rods
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This work presents a reduced order model (ROM) aimed at simulating nuclear reactor control rods movement and featuring fastrunning prediction of reactivity and neutron flux distribution as well. In particular, the reduced ...
A Monte Carlo Fuel Assembly Model Validation Adopting Post Irradiation Experiment Dataset
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Within an energy system where nuclear reactors will likely play a critical role, it is fundamental to have access to accurate and reliable computational tools that can predict the plants' behavior under different operating ...
