PERSPECTIVES IN SYSTEM THERMAL-HYDRAULICS [PDF]
Nuclear Engineering and Technology, 2012 The paper deals with three main topics: a) the definition of System Thermal-Hydraulics (SYS TH), b) a historical outline for SYS TH and, c) the description of elements for reflection when planning research projects or improvement activities, this last topic being the main reason for the paper.

In search of the best nuclear data file for proton induced reactions: Varying both models and their parameters [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2020 A lot of research work has been carried out in fine tuning model parameters to reproduce experimental data for neutron induced reactions. This however is not the case for proton induced reactions where large deviations still exist between model ...

Thermal–hydraulic separators unveiled
Case Studies in Thermal Engineering, 2022 A key issue in the design of heating/cooling networks consists in attaining the hydraulic independence of the connected circuits while simultaneously providing the required flow rate of thermal fluid at the design temperature under different operation loads. In this respect, thermal–hydraulic separators offer a valid alternative over other devices used
