Effect of finned structure on critical heat flux (CHF) in downward-face pool boiling
Critical heat flux (CHF) plays an important role as the upper limit of heat dissipation process during the in-vessel reactor external reactor vessel cooling (IVR-ERVC). IVR-ERVC is regarded as a very effective way to release the decay heat after the core

Sub‐stoichiometric amounts of Na+ or K+ enhance defect healing during Silicalite‐1 (MFI) and TS‐1 calcination by promoting Si–O–Si annealing and healing framework vacancies. The resulting defect‐free zeolites are more hydrophobic and show improved butanol/water separation and improved activity and selectivity in the epoxidation of 1‐hexene, offering a ...
