  • Stability analysis of dynamic heat transfer

    Creator:
    Luo, Shyr Tung
    Abstract:
    The stability analysis for a heated tube system is an important safety feature of a nuclear power plant. Although the system theory is well established for linear systems described by ordinary differential equations, there is still a shortage of theory dealing with a distributed system, which is described by partial...

  • Experimental simulations of a rotating bubble membrane radiator for space nuclear power systems

    Creator:
    Al-Baroudi, Homan Mohammed-Zahid
    Abstract:
    A rotating, flat plate condensation experiment has been developed to investigate the heat of the Rotating Bubble Membrane Radiator (RBMR). The RBMR is a proposed heat rejection system for space applications which uses working fluid condensation on the inside surface of a rotating sphere to reject heat to space. The...

  • Multi-objective Optimization of Reservoir Operation Under Uncertainty with Robust and Flexible Decision Variables

    Creator:
    Hosseini, Parnian
    Abstract:
    Optimization of reservoir operation is involves various competing objectives for a scarce resource (water). To find the optimal operation of reservoirs, it is essential to consider multiple objectives simultaneously. There are various sources of uncertainty associated with the reservoir operation problem that should be considered as well. The overarching goal...
