Automated Image Stitching of Down Channel Nuclear Reactor Fuel Channel Inspection Footage [PDF]
12th Nuclear Plant Instrumentation, Control and Human-Machine Interface Technologies (NPIC&HMIT 2021), 2021 Routine inspection of the nuclear reactor core is fundamental to the continued safe operation of any nuclear power plant. Inspection methods vary but a common approach is visual inspection. Visual inspections are performed routinely on the UK’s seven Advanced Gas-cooled Reactors (AGR) and in this paper, we focus on that design.

Fuel Channel Inspection Equipment for RBMK Reactors [PDF]
Journal of Nuclear Science and Technology, 2001 This paper describes fuel channel inspection equipment for RBMK reactors. Specially designed equipment for inspecting RBMK reactor fuel channels has been manufactured by a Japanese joint company group and supplied to the Leningrad Nuclear Power Plant. Three different heads of the equipment were used to detect flaws in the fuel channel especially in the

ASSESSMENT OF HEAT TRANSFER IN FUEL CHANNEL OF INDIAN PHWR UNDER POSTULATED LARGE BREAK LOSS OF COOLANT ACCIDENT: EXPERIMENTAL AND NUMERICAL STUDY [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2021 The behaviour of the channel under postulated large break LOCA scenario had been a prime safety concern. The radiative heat transfer is predominant in a channel when the convective cooling environment is marred. The estimation of temperature distribution

Investigation of water motion in a fuel cell channel with a reservoir
Journal of Cleaner Production, 2022 © 2022 Elsevier LtdThis study presents a novel gas distribution channel configured with a reservoir and an extra outlet to prevent channels from being clogged by long slugs in the vicinity of the outlet port in fuel cells. The motion of water droplets in this channel was investigated using the volume of fluid method.

A novel model of third phase inclusions on two phase boundaries
Materials Theory, 2017 A new computationally efficient model of an included phase located at the interface between two other phases is developed by projecting the boundaries of the inclusion onto the boundary between the two other phases.

The Effects of the PEM Fuel Cell Performance with the Waved Flow Channels [PDF]
Journal of Applied Mathematics, 2013 The objective of this study is to use a new style of waved flow channel instead of the plane surface channel in the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). The velocity, concentration, and electrical performance with the waved flow channel in PEMFC are investigated by numerical simulations.
