Shield materials recommended for space power nuclear reactors [PDF]

open access: yes
Lithium hydride is recommended for neutron attenuation and depleted uranium is recommended for gamma ray attenuation. For minimum shield weights these materials must be arranged in alternate layers to attenuate the secondary gamma rays efficiently.

Phenolate‐ and Alcoholate‐Based Chromium N‐Heterocyclic Carbene Complexes: Structural Peculiarities, Magnetometric and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Study, and Catalytic Ethylene Oligomerization

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Inorganic Chemistry, EarlyView.
The first low‐oxidation (I/III) state chromium‐complex bearing a O‐chelating NHC ligand has been synthesized and structurally characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray analysis. The formation of the mixed‐valence species was further supported by SQUID magnetometry and high‐field electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy.

Experimental Study on the Combustion and Explosion Characteristics of Tributyl Phosphate and Kerosene Mixtures at Different Initial Pressures in High‐Temperature Environments

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
The explosion hazard of TBP and kerosene mixed vapor in the nuclear fuel reprocessing process is studied. The results enrich the explosion characteristics and explosion limits of TBP‐kerosene, and provide reference value and basis for the safety setting of the operation process and operating environment of nuclear fuel reprocessing plants ABSTRACT As ...

Rational design of Ni‐based catalysts for methane dry reforming: Recent advances and future perspectives

open access: yesFlexMat, EarlyView.
Addressing the challenges inherent in dry reforming of methane (DRM), this paper focuses on the structural design and performance optimization of Ni‐based catalysts. The modulation strategies for DRM are systematically reviewed across four dimensions: the micromorphology of active metals, metal‐support interactions, electronic modifications by ...

Experimental Factors and Techniques for Pool Boiling Heat Transfer Enhancement: A Critical Review

open access: yesHeat Transfer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This review presents a comprehensive assessment of active strategies for enhancing pool boiling heat transfer, with a focus on techniques that do not rely solely on the boiling surface modification. It examines a broad range of methodologies including fluid additives, external fields, mechanical interventions, and thermal‐geometric tuning that
