CFD simulation of partial channel blockage on plate-type fuel of TRIGA-2000 conversion reactor core
A nuclear reactor cooling system that has been operating for a long time can carry some debris into a fuel coolant channel, which can result in a blockage. An in-depth two-dimensional simulation of partial channel blockage can be carried out using FLUENT

A dynamic PEM-fuel cell stack model for system simulation
A dynamic, mathematical model of a proton-exchange-membrane fuel cell stack is presented. The model is time-dependent, one-dimensional along the channel and non-isothermal.

CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A DEVICE FOR THE DECOMMISSIONING OF THE HORIZONTAL FUEL CHANNELS IN THE CANDU 6 NUCLEAR REACTOR PART 5 - FUEL CHANEL DECOMMISSIONING [PDF]
As many nuclear power plants are reaching their end of lifecycle, the decommissioning of these installations has become one of the 21st century’s great challenges. Each project may be managed differently, depending on the country, development policies,

Preliminary assessment of hazelnut shell biomass as a raw material for pellet production
We evaluated the use of hazelnut shell (HS) for pellet production. The investigation of chemical properties, such as the calorific value, low ash, nitrogen, sulfur and chlorine content as well as low heavy metal contents, reveals that the proposed ...

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Artificial molecular machines and motors—Design and control of nanoscale motion
Molecules are constantly moving because of thermal fluctuations, but random motion alone cannot be exploited to perform directional tasks. Artificial molecular machines use chemical, electrical, or light energy to bias this motion. Molecular shuttles, rotary motors, and supramolecular pumps illustrate how nanoscale movement can be controlled and ...
