Abstract:: A literature review of current phase separation publications was conducted. Data sets were collected and compiled into a Two-Phase Flow Separation Database. Examination of this database indicating a need for further investigation into the liquid entertainment phenomena for smaller hot-leg to branch diameters and intermittent flow regimes. A detailed analysis...

Creator:: Jensen, Peter John
Abstract:: The goal of this study is the modeling of a postulated break of the steam line at the containment penetration of the Trojan Nuclear Plant which is owned and operated by Portland General Electric. To perform this modeling, the RETRAN computer code package was utilized. RETRAN is designed to provide...

Abstract:: The OSU/APEX thermal hydraulic test facility models the passive safety systems of the Westinghouse AP600 advanced light water reactor design. Numerous experiments have been performed to test these systems, the one of focus here is the station blackout scenario. This experiment simulated the complete loss of AC power to all...

Creator:: Hallee, Brian Todd
Abstract:: The nuclear industry has long relied upon bounding parametric analyses in predicting the safety margins of reactor designs undergoing design-basis accidents. These methods have been known to return highly-conservative results, limiting the operating conditions of the reactor. The Best-Estimate Plus Uncertainty (BEPU) method using a modernized version of the Code-Scaling,...

Creator:: Brawn, Robert Charles
Abstract:: This report presents the off-design analysis of various wood-fired combined-cycle power plants using a computer model to simulate plant performance. The combined-cycle systems investigated are characterized by having a woodfueled combustor, an indirect-fired gas turbine, and a Rankine steam cycle. This work was conducted as part of a larger biomass...

Creator:: Bukar, Kyari Abba
Abstract:: Several computer codes based on one and two-group diffusion theory models were developed for SHUFFLE. The programs were developed to calculate power distributions in a two-dimensional quarter core geometry of a pressurized power reactor. The various coarse-mesh numerical computations for the power calculations yield the following: the Borresen's scheme applied...

Creator:: Lalla, Chelsea
Abstract:: As more wind farms are connected to the grid, the variable nature of wind energy begins to influence grid stability. Energy storage could help smooth the variable nature of wind energy. Laboratory demonstration and exploration of the interaction between different energy storage devices and wind energy could help improve and...
