A Density Functional Theory Study on the Diffusion of Fission Gas Atoms in Uranium Dioxide
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Uranium dioxide (UO2) is the typical fuel that is used in the current nuclear power plant; fission gas atoms are produced during and after the nuclear reactor operation; the fission gas atoms have a significant effect on ...
Research on Air Content Estimation of Tributyl Phosphate Hydraulic Fluids: A Novel Approach Based on the Vacuum Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The air content in hydraulic transmission fluids significantly reduces bulk modulus of the fluid and causes a drop in the stiffness and response of the hydraulic system. It is consequently very important to monitor the air ...
Sputtering of Graphite by Hydrogen Isotopes in the Fusion Environment: A Molecular Dynamics Simulation Study
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The sputtering of graphite due to the bombardment of hydrogen isotopes is crucial to successfully using graphite in the fusion environment. In this work, we use molecular dynamics to simulate the sputtering using the ...
