Quantified PIRT and uncertainty quantification for computer code validation

Creator:: Luo, Hu
Abstract:: This study is intended to investigate and propose a systematic method for uncertainty quantification for the computer code validation application. Uncertainty quantification has gained more and more attentions in recent years. U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requires the use of realistic best estimate (BE) computer code to follow the rigorous...

An experimental study of laminarization induced by acceleration and curvature

Creator:: Jackson, R. Brian
Abstract:: The Generation IV Very High Temperature Reactor (VHTR) design is being actively studied in various countries for application due to its inherent passive safe design, higher thermal efficiencies, and proposed capability of providing high temperature process heat. The pebble bed core is one of two core designs used in gas...

System model of a natural circulation integral test facility

Creator:: Galvin, Mark Robert, 1967-
Abstract:: The Department of Nuclear Engineering and Radiation Health Physics (NE/RHP) at Oregon State University (OSU) has been developing an innovative modular reactor plant concept since being initiated with a Department of Energy (DoE) grant in 1999. This concept, the Multi-Application Small Light Water Reactor (MASLWR), is an integral pressurized water...

An inherently parallel Monte Carlo linear systems solver applied to neutron diffusion equations

Creator:: Eccleston, Bradley R.
Abstract:: Linear solvers are often used to solve neutron diffusion problems. These tools have two significant shortcomings. First, parallel implementations provide only a modest speedup. The operations cannot be divided cleanly between processors. Second, for large matrices they can be very slow. Our primary goal is to find a new method...

A unified model of one-dimension two-fluid horizontal flows and its stability analysis

Creator:: Kim, Dong-Wan
Abstract:: An improved version of the one-dimensional horizontal two-fluid flow model has been developed by incorporating physical terms for gravity and local void fraction profiles. Introduction of an interface mixing layer concept allows the one-dimensional two-fluid model to remain hyperbolic. This will overcomes a major obstacle in using the current one-dimensional...

The Development of a Mechanistic Critical Heat Flux Correlation

Creator:: Luitjens, Jeffrey M.
Abstract:: A mechanistic based critical heat flux (CHF) correlation has been developed derived from a mass, momentum, and energy balance at a nucleation site for water. The trigger mechanism for the CHF condition is postulated to be related to the maximum boiling frequency on a heated surface. It is observed that...

A theoretical and experimental study of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis of titanium carbide

Creator:: Huque, Ziaul
Abstract:: Self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) is a new method of producing advanced ceramic materials and offers an attractive alternative to conventional methods of materials processing. An experimental investigation was carried out to determine the SHS reaction wave propagation speed in a vertical cylindrical compact made from a mixture of titanium and...

Nonintrusive intelligent monitoring for nuclear power plant emergency classification

Creator:: Greene, Kenneth R. (Kenneth Ray), 1958-
Abstract:: A prototype real-time process monitoring emergency classification expert system, RT/EM-CLASS, has been developed for use at the Trojan Nuclear Power Plant. This knowledge-based system features the integration of electronically sensed plant data with the menu selection data representation of its predecessor, EM-CLASS. This prototype demonstrates the techniques required to acquire...

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...
