This book was released on 2007 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several comprehensive but time consuming neutronic codes are available for performing nuclear reactor and fuel cycle evaluations. In addition, simple models utilizing collision probability theory are used to perform similar tasks with reasonable accuracy. However, the current collision probability theory treats the heterogeneous reactor configurations with a two region unit cell model. This model does not address several important reactor parameters including spatial self-shielding effects and simultaneous use of different reactor fuels within a reactor core. This dissertation studies the fidelity of expanding the collision probability theory to address the stated shortcomings through analyzing two problems. Problem 1 analyzes the effects of self-shielding. The cylindrical fuel region is divided into several sub-regions and an overall equivalent escape probability from the entire fuel region is developed based on the identified neutron transmission and escape probabilities within each fuel sub-region. The multiplication factor and radioisotopic inventory results based on modified V:BUDS (Visualize: Burnup, Depletion, Spectrum) code are in good agreement with benchmark scenarios for a reactor unit cell. The accurate multiplication factor calculation allows more accurate studies on the maximum fuel burnup and radionuclide inventories of interest in nuclear non-proliferation studies. Problem 2 analyzes the effects of simultaneous use of different fuels within a fuel lattice where the zero neutron leakage assumption across the unit cell boundaries is not valid. The developed methodology expands capabilities of the collision probability theory to a supercell model that allows existence of two different fuels. The radioisotopic inventory results for different fuels obtained from the modified V:BUDS code are in excellent agreement with the benchmark problems. These accurate results may be used in general fuel cycle and transmutation studies within power reactors.

Download or read book Transport Theories for Strongly Interacting Systems written by Wolfgang Cassing and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-21 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an overview on transport theories, focusing on applications and the relativistic off-shell transport theory which are of particular interest for physicists working in the field of relativistic strong-interaction physics, e.g. relativistic or ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions or the evolution of the early universe. In this regard, a thorough derivation of the transport equations and a careful analysis of the approximations employed is given. The text is enriched with a multitude of Appendices that partly recall elements of quantum mechanics and field theory or present examples for specific models. Specific exercises are given throughout the chapters. As a basic knowledge the reader should be familiar with quantum mechanics and its principles as well as some basic concepts of the quantum many-body physics and field theory. All chapters close with a short summary and numerical calculations are provided to master and illustrate the subject.
Download or read book Women in Power written by Jill S. Tietjen and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-07-18 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This enlightening volume examines core areas of development in electric power systems, emphasizing the pivotal contributions of women engineers to the industry’s evolution. The authors cover a broad spectrum of key topics, including generation technologies, transmission and distribution progress, environmental challenges, worldwide electrification, and workforce issues. Advances in conventional and renewable energy technologies, in parallel with growing environmental concerns, and in conjunction with the aging of both the infrastructure itself and the workforce, have led to imposing and fascinating challenges for the engineers of tomorrow. This book documents the critical role of women engineers and their pioneering discoveries, relates their stories of success and struggle in their own words, and shares their perspectives on how these challenges will be addressed in the decades ahead.
