Experimental Design of a Prescribed Burn Instrumentation

open access: yes, 2018
Observational data collected during experiments, such as the planned Fire and Smoke Model Evaluation Experiment (FASMEE), are critical for progressing and transitioning coupled fire-atmosphere models like WRF-SFIRE and WRF-SFIRE-CHEM into operational use.

A Fast Method for Selecting Bio Sourced Materials of Interest in a Candle Formulation

open access: yesJournal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As consumer demand shifts towards more sustainable and nontoxic alternatives, the candle industry is exploring unconventional bio‐based and recycled materials as substitutes for paraffin. Four raw materials, that is rice bran wax (RBW), sugarcane wax (SCW), hydrogenated rapeseed oil (HRO), and waste cooking oil (WCO) were assessed based on ...

Molten Uranium Breeder Reactor (MUBR) and Its Development Steps [version 2; peer review: 2 approved]

open access: yesNuclear Science and Technology Open Research
Background The Molten Uranium Breeder Reactor (MUBR) is a radical new mixed-energy spectrum breed and burn reactor concept. The MUBR is fueled with molten uranium metal fuel in large fuel tubes instead of thin fuel rods, and is cooled by circulating the ...

Investigation of the fundamental constants stability based on the reactor Oklo burn-up analysis

open access: yes, 2010
The burn-up for SC56-1472 sample of the natural Oklo reactor zone 3 was calculated using the modern Monte Carlo codes. We reconstructed the neutron spectrum in the core by means of the isotope ratios: $^{147}$Sm/$^{148}$Sm and $^{176}$Lu/$^{175}$Lu ...

Effect of Temperature and Atmosphere on Agglomeration of Bed Particles in a Bubbling Fluidised Bed Burning Na‐Enriched Coal

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agglomeration of bed materials during circulating fluidised bed (CFB) combustion or gasification of high‐alkali fuel is a practical challenge in industrial practice. This work investigates experimentally the effect of temperatures (700°C–900°C) and atmosphere (air equivalence ratios 1.61–0.53) on agglomeration in a lab‐scale bubbling fluidised

Radionuclide neutron source trajectories in the closed nuclear fuel cycle

open access: yesNukleonika, 2019
The highest efficiency in the usage of nuclear energy resources can be implemented in fast breeder reactors of generation IV. It is achieved thanks to the ability of consuming minor actinides (MAs) in energy production.
