Abstract: This paper presents the development of a three-dimensional space-time neutronic kinetic model of a Canadian deuterium uranium (CANDU) reactor using a modal method. In this method, the reactor ...

Abstract: In this paper, kernel principal component analysis (KPCA) is studied for fault detection and identification of the instruments in nuclear power plants. A KPCA model for fault isolation and ...

Abstract: A novel two-level space volume partition (SVP) algorithm based on the ray-tracing technique is proposed to predict the spatial distribution of the steady-state sound field. The sound space is ...

Abstract: Preliminary study has shown that the flue gas recirculation (FGR) is one of the effective ways to reduce the nitric oxides (NOx) emission in industrial furnaces. The sensitivity of the NOx ...

Abstract: Creep effect becomes an important consideration in the design of high-strength steel structures subjected to a soaking period at elevated temperatures such as in stress-relieving post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) circumstances. ...

Abstract: In this study, an experimental investigation of the thermal effect of welding on the mechanical behavior of thermomechanical control process (TMCP) high-strength steel (HSS) Q690CFD is carried out. Twenty-four specimens ...

Abstract: This paper provides a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)/nano-EG solid self-lubricating composite that exhibits very low friction coefficient and wear rate. In present study, the influences of the ...
