Gas migration at the granite–bentonite interface under semirigid boundary conditions in the context of high‐level radioactive waste disposal

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
A series of water infiltration tests and gas permeability tests were conducted on granite and granite–bentonite samples. According to the results, the interfaces between granite and bentonite and the damaged granite were considered to be the preferentcial pathway for gas migration.

Parametric Study on the Performance of Gas Springs in FPSE With Pneumatic Supporting System

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The introduction of a pneumatic supporting system composed of gas springs and hydrostatic bearings in the free‐piston Stirling generator (FPSG) can effectively increase the power density of the nuclear space power plant. In this paper, a 1 kW FPSG with pneumatic supporting system was developed, and the working characteristics of dual gas ...

Nutrient enrichment—but not warming—increases nitrous oxide emissions from shallow lake mesocosms

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Shallow lakes and ponds play a crucial role in the processing of carbon and other nutrients. However, many lakes and ponds worldwide are affected by climate change and nutrient pollution. How these pressures affect the emission of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O) is unclear.
