A CFD Analysis of a Single Channel in the Mars Hopper Engine

Creator:: Koll, Christopher J.
Abstract:: The Mars Hopper is an alternative extraterrestrial vehicle for the collection of samples from the Martian surface. This thesis studied the engine of the Mars Hopper to assess the validity of the current planned launch cycle according to current parameters. To do this, the engine was simplified to an average...

Capabilities of Detecting Medical Isotope Facilities through Radioxenon Sampling

Creator:: MacDougall, Matthew R.
Abstract:: Medical Isotopes are a necessity in modern medicine for cancer treatments and medical imaging. In order to ensure that the needs and demands are met for the medical procedures, facilities are put in place to produce these isotopes. There are over 25 different isotopes of interest being produced by more...

Computer modeling and analysis of single and multicell thermionic fuel elements

Creator:: Dickinson, Jeffrey Wade
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: Modeling and Analysis of Single and Multicell Thermionic Fuel Elements Abstract Approved: Andrew C. Klein

Two-dimensional temperature model for target materials bombarded by ion beams

Creator:: Bostick, Kent C.
Abstract:: The ion implantation process is a very precise, controllable, and reproducible method used to enhance material properties of finished components such as ball bearings. Essentially, the target material is bombarded by accelerated ions to form a thin alloyed layer in the substrate. As the ions deposit their kinetic energy in...

Monte Carlo burnup analysis code development and application to an incore thermionic space nuclear power system

Creator:: Abdul-hamid, Shahab A.
Abstract:: Lattice bum-up calculations in thermal reactors are complicated by the necessity for use of transport theory to represent fuel rods, control rods, and burnable absorbers, by many time-dependent variables which must be considered in the analysis, and by geometric complexity which introduces time-dependent, spatial-spectral variations. Representation of lattice structure in...

Preliminary design and analysis of a rotating bubble membrane radiator for space-based nuclear power systems

Creator:: Webb, Brent Jonathan
Abstract:: The development of a novel high temperature space radiator is described. A Rotating Bubble Membrane Radiator (RBMR) combines the best features of heat pipes and droplet radiators while avoiding their negative attributes. The RBMR offers light weight, self deployment, ease of startup and its performance is less affected by acceleration....

Design and testing of fabric composite heat pipes for space nuclear power applications

Creator:: Kiestler, William C.
Abstract:: Conventional stainless steel - water and ceramic fabric composite water heat pipes have been built and tested. The tests have been conducted to compare the performance characteristics between conventional and fabric composite heat pipe radiators for space nuclear power heat rejection systems. The fabric composite concept combines a strong ceramic...
