Abstract: This investigation is devoted to evaluating the thermal hydraulics behavior of sodium-based (Na) miniature heat sinks. The investigated geometrical parameters cover a range of 0.143–1 for heat sink aspect ratios, 0.267–21.7 mm ...

Abstract: Accident analysis and ensuring power plant safety are pivotal in the nuclear energy sector. Significant strides have been achieved over the past few decades regarding fire protection and safety, primarily centered on design ...

Abstract: Slow sensors arise in many applications, including sensing chemical concentrations in tracking of contaminant plumes. Slow sensors are often the cause of poor performance and a potential cause ...

Abstract: The feeder pipes of a typical CANDU® reactor supply each of the 380 fuel channels with coolant and are individually connected to the large bore primary piping. In some designs, the longer ...

Abstract: Expansion joints are one of the main causes for high maintenance costs in bridges. In this paper, a seamless bridge system is presented that provides for bridges with long service lives by eliminating the joints over the ...
