Study on Thermal-Hydraulic Behavior of an Integral Type Reactor under Heaving Condition
A self-developed program was used to study the thermal-hydraulic behavior of an integral type reactor under heaving condition. Comparison of calculated results with the data of experiments performed on a natural circulation loop designed with reference ...

Thermal modeling of Anchorage driveway culvert with addition of insulation to prevent frost heaving [PDF]
A predominate problem in cold regions, and specifically in Anchorage, Alaska, is frost heaving pavement above culverts in residential driveways. The culvert increases heat loss in the subgrade materials during winter months and allows the soils below ...

Point absorber wave energy converters in regular and irregular waves with time domain analysis [PDF]
A discrete control of latching is used to increase the bandwidth of the efficiency of the Wave Energy Converters (WEC) in regular and irregular seas. When latching control applied to WEC it increases the amplitude of the motion as well as absorbed power.

Frost heaving of foundation pit for seasonal permafrost areas
Frost heaving can cause support structures to crack and even instability of the foundation pit. This paper describes the frost heaving features of the steel pile pre-stressed tendon composite foundation pit support system (SPPTCFPSS). As a combined rigid–
