ASME ( American Society of Mechanical Engineers )
Description: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) is a professional association that, in its own words, "promotes the art, science, and practice of multidisciplinary engineering and allied sciences around the globe" via "continuing education, training and professional development, codes and standards, research, conferences and publications, government relations, and other forms of outreach." ASME is thus an engineering society, a standards organization, a research and development organization, a lobbying organization, a provider of training and education, and a nonprofit organization. Founded as an engineering society focused on mechanical engineering in North America, ASME is today multidisciplinary and global.

Expected Safety Performance of the Supercritical Water Reactor Fuel Qualification Test
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The supercritical water reactor (SCWR) fuel qualification test is an inpile test of a fourrod fuel assembly at supercritical pressure inside a research reactor, which is operated at atmospheric pressure. The risk of ...
Screening and Correlating Data on Heat Transfer to Fluids at Supercritical Pressure
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A simple criterion for screening experimental data on turbulent heat transfer in vertical tubes to identify those not significantly influenced by buoyancy was proposed by the author many years ago and found to work quite ...
Effect of Thermal Pretreatment on the Corrosion of Stainless Steel in Flowing Supercritical Water
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The effect of hightemperature microstructure degradation (thermal ageing) on the corrosion resistance of austenitic stainless steels in supercritical water (SCW) was evaluated in this study. Millannealed (MA) and thermally ...
Oxidation Parameters of Oxide Dispersion Strengthened Steels in Supercritical Water
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The kinetic parameters of oxidation of two oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) alloys, PM2000 and MA956, in supercritical water (SCW) are evaluated using an updated model that assumes that the growth of the outer layer is ...
Steady State Radiolysis of Supercritical Water: Model Predictions and Validation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Chemical kinetic models are being developed for the خ³radiolysis of subcritical and supercritical water (SCW) to estimate the concentrations of radiolytically produced oxidants. Many of the physical properties of water ...

Abstract: The aim of the supercritical water reactorfuel qualification test (SCWRFQT) EuratomChina collaborative project is to design an experimental facility for qualification of fuel for the supercritical watercooled reactor. The ...
Irradiation Capabilities at the Halden Reactor and Testing Possibilities Under Supercritical Water Conditions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Different types of instruments have been developed both for inpile fuel and materials studies at the Halden Reactor Project. In recent years, several of the standard instruments have been upgraded to be able to tolerate ...
Microstructural Effects on the Oxidation Behavior of Alloy 800HT in Supercritical Water
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Alloy 800HT is one promising candidate for use as a fuel cladding material in supercritical watercooled rectors. In the present study, specific thermomechanical processing (TMP) was used to study the effects of grain size ...
Assessment of Computational Tools in Support of Heat Transfer Correlation Development for Fuel Assembly of Canadian Supercritical Water Cooled Reactor
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Experimental data and correlations are not available for the fuelassembly concept of the Canadian supercritical watercooled reactor (SCWR). To facilitate the safety analyses, a strategy for developing a heattransfer ...
European Project “Supercritical Water Reactor–Fuel Qualification Testâ€: Overview, Results, Lessons Learned, and Future Outlook
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The supercritical water reactor (SCWR) is one of the six reactor concepts being investigated under the framework of the Generation IV International Forum (GIF). One of the major challenges in the development of a SCWR is ...
