External Coupling of Computational Fluid Dynamics Modeling of the Density Evolution Inside of the Helium-3 Enhanced Negative Reactivity Insertion (HENRI) System with the Monte-Carlo Neutronics code Serpent 2

Creator:

Leingang, Cole W.

Abstract:

The testing of nuclear fuel under reactivity-initiated accident (RIA) conditions is paramount for the better understanding of the fuel’s behavior during these transient accident events. The Transient Reactor Test (TREAT) facility is a nuclear reactor that will be capable of recreating the thermal-hydraulic and neutronic boundary conditions representative of RIA...

Masters Thesis
Nano-Recrystallized UO₂ Microcantilever Bending After Ion Irradiation

Creator:

Cullison, Mack

Abstract:

Idaho National Laboratories recently conducted micromechanical testing of nano-recrystallized UO₂ as a part of an ongoing investigation of High Burnup Structure (HBS). The goals of the test were to determine the fracture stress, and the elastic modulus of subdivided grains within UO₂ using ion irradiation rather than neutron irradiation to...

Masters Thesis
Neutronic Analysis of a Liquid Metal Fast Reactor Experiment in the Large-I Position of the Advanced Test Reactor

Creator:

Lilley, Benjamin C.

Abstract:

Material testing experiments are needed to enable the next generation of nuclear fission reactors. Concluding in 2009, the Boosted Fast Flux Loop (BFFL) project was devised as a way to test fast reactor materials and fuels in the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR), however the experiment location it used is now...

Masters Thesis
The Development of a Hybrid Particle-in-Cell Simulation Code in C++ for the Modeling of the SPT-70 Hall Thruster

Creator:

Myers, Conner J.

Abstract:

In order to support the growing satellite propulsion industry, a hybrid Particle-In-Cell (PIC) simulation with fluid treatment of electrons and neutral particles was developed to model the SPT-70 Hall thruster. The 2D, C++ code assumes azimuthal symmetry and a uniform magnetic field in the radial direction with the simulation domain...

Masters Thesis
A Computational Investigation of Natural Circulation Effects on Heat Transfer Coefficient and Friction Factor

Creator:

Buskirk, John

Abstract:

The nuclear industry has shown a large interest in natural circulation driven passive cooling systems following the Fukushima nuclear accident. Despite this interest, there is no widely used heat transfer correlation or friction factor correlation developed for natural circulation driven flow. A CFD analysis including grid convergence testing using Fluent...

Masters Thesis
Controlling the Co-Precipitation of Colloidal PbSe Quantum Dots and Their Device Performance in a Diode Architecture

Creator:

McCrea, Tyler D.

Abstract:

In this work, colloidal PbSe quantum dots (QDs) are shown to be synthesized in a controlled manner by changing the growth time and reaction temperature in a microwave synthesis method. It is explained why quantum dots make such a unique material to create electronic devices and the specific benefits that...

Masters Thesis
A Text-based Simulation Framework for the Automated Simulation and Analysis of Manufacturing Assembly Systems

Creator:

Fields, Benjamin G.

Abstract:

The rapid advancement of manufacturing has led to the creation of a myriad of technologies that facilitate the analysis and simulation of manufacturing processes. These technologies have become a pivotal component in maintaining and improving processes in today’s complex manufacturing environments. Discrete Event Simulation (DES) is one such technology that...

Masters Thesis
Enabling Feasibility Assessment of Solar Thermal Energy Systems for Industrial Process Heating Applications

Creator:

Karki, Saroj

Abstract:

Existing studies on industrial heat demand have shown that more than 50% of the industrial process heat demand is in the range of low (<60 °C), medium (60-150 °C), and medium-high (<250 °C) temperatures. Most of the manufacturing industries across the world depend on combustion of carbon-based fossil fuels, either...

Masters Thesis
Computational Fluid Dynamics Benchmark Analysis of an Historical Sodium Loop Experiment

Creator:

Moore, Thomas M.

Abstract:

Sodium cooled nuclear reactors are being considered for the next generation of nuclear power plants to provide clean electricity to the world. To prove the safety of these reactors, the fuel must be shown to safely handle large neutron fluxes that cause a spike in the thermal output of the...

Masters Thesis
Heat Loss Characterization of NIST-1's Containment Vessel

Creator:

Yoshiura, Ramon K.

Abstract:

NuScale Power has designed a small modular reactor using natural circulation cooling dependent systems for both steady-state and transient operations. The NuScale Integral Test System (NIST-1) facility was built to supply test data to NuScale Power to verify and validate computer codes for the NuScale Power Mod- ule (NPM) with...
