  • Top-down scaling analysis of the integral reactor vessel test facility

    Creator:
    Graves, Joshua D.
    Abstract:
    Oregon State University has conducted research in collaboration with TerraPower, LLC, to perform a top-down scaling analysis of an integrated test facility. The goal of this facility is to simulate transient and quasi-steady phenomena at a reduced scale, including steady-state operation, pump coastdown, natural circulation, reactor head heat transfer, and...

  • Development of a Novel Device to Measure the Viscosity of High Temperature Molten Salts

    Creator:
    Blyther, Joshua D.
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents a novel design for a rheometer style viscometer by implementing high temperature and inert atmospheric requirements on the device. The goals of this device are to measure the viscosity of high temperature molten salts, which are corrosive and extremely hydroscopic. It also aims to be able to...

  • Reducing Centerline Rumble Strips Effects on Pavement Performance

    Creator:
    Weaver, Joshua D.

    Centerline rumble strips (CLRS) have proven to be a cost-effective safety measure in reducing lane departure crashes. However, there are often unintended consequences associated with the installation of CLRS, particularly in rural mountainous areas or snow zones. These consequences include the accumulation of water and ice on the roadway and...
