This book was released on 2013-12-21 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Supercritical Fluid Technology for Energy and Environmental Applications covers the fundamental principles involved in the preparation and characterization of supercritical fluids (SCFs) used in the energy production and other environmental applications. Energy production from diversified resources — including renewable materials — using clean processes can be accomplished using technologies like SCFs. This book is focused on critical issues scientists and engineers face in applying SCFs to energy production and environmental protection, the innovative solutions they have found, and the challenges they need to overcome. The book also covers the basics of sub- and supercritical fluids, like the thermodynamics of phase and chemical equilibria, mathematical modeling, and process calculations. A supercritical fluid is any substance at a temperature and pressure above its critical point where distinct liquid and gas phases do not exist. At this state the compound demonstrates unique properties, which can be "fine-tuned," making them suitable as organic solvents in a range of industrial and laboratory processes. This volume enables readers to select the most appropriate medium for a specific situation. It helps instructors prepare course material for graduate and postgraduate courses in the area of chemistry, chemical engineering, and environmental engineering. And it helps professional engineers learn supercritical fluid-based technologies and use them in solving the increasingly challenging environmental issues. Relates theory, chemical characteristics, and properties of the particular supercritical fluid to its various applications Covers the fundamentals of supercritical fluids, like thermodynamics of phase and chemical equilibria, mathematical modeling, and process calculations Includes the most recent applications of supercritical fluids, including energy generation, materials synthesis, and environmental protection

Download or read book Conceptual Design of an Annular fueled Superheat Boiling Water Reactor written by Yu-Chih Ko (Ph. D.) and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conceptual design of an annular-fueled superheat boiling water reactor (ASBWR) is outlined. The proposed design, ASBWR, combines the boiler and superheater regions into one fuel assembly. This ensures good neutron moderation throughout the reactor core. A single fuel design is used in the core. Each annular fuel element, or fuel tube, is cooled externally by boiling water and internally by steam. Fuel pellets are made of low enrichment U0 2, somewhat higher than the traditional BWR fuel enrichment. T91 and Inconel 718 are selected as candidates for the cladding material in view of their excellent physical properties and corrosion resistance. The fuel-cladding gap is filled with pressurized helium gas, like the existing lighter water reactor fuels. The ASBWR fuel assembly contains sixty annular fuel elements and one square water rod (occupying a space of four fuel elements) in an 8 by 8 square array. Annular separators and steam dryers are utilized and located above the core in the reactor vessel. Reactor internal pumps are used to adjust the core flow rate. Cruciform control rods are used to control the reactivity of the core, but more of them may be needed than a traditional BWR in view of the harder spectrum. The major design constraints have been identified and evaluated in this work. The ASBWR is found promising to achieve a power density of 50 kW/L and meet all the main safety requirements. This includes a limit on the minimum critical heat flux ratio, maximum fuel and cladding operating temperatures, and appropriate stability margin against density wave oscillations. At the expected superheated steam of 520 °C, the plant efficiency is above 40%, which is substantially greater than the efficiency of 33 to 35% that today's generation of LWRs can achieve. In addition to generating electricity, the ASBWR may also be useful for liquid fuel production or other applications that require high temperature superheated steam. The uncertainties about this design include the performance of cladding materials under irradiation, the attainment of desirable heat transfer ratio between the external and internal coolant channels throughout the fuel cycle, and the response to the traditional transients prescribed as design basis events.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Cont.) Alternative cores using traditional pin-type fuel and innovative Internally-Cooled Annular Fuel (ICAF) have also been evaluated. While the performance of the TID core is superior, the results of the pin-type core show promise, pending design modification and relaxation of the imposed core pressure drop constraint, which would come at the expense of cycle efficiency and increased decay heat removal power requirements. Nevertheless, no improvement would be able to achieve a sustainable core (i.e. conversion ratio=l) using oxide fuel without the use of external blankets for pin fuel, even without the use of diluent in the fuel. A comprehensive comparison of the thermal hydraulic and neutronic performance of TID fuel with that of the traditional pin-type fuel, as well as with the ICAF is also made, showing the fundamental reasons for their difference in performance.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A conceptual design was performed of a light water moderated reactor with power output in the range of 1000 MWe, which allows passive decay heat removal (i.e., the heat path to the ultimate heat sink, ambient air, is provided by natural heat transfer mechanisms such as conduction, radiation and free convection). This eliminates the reliance on the availability of emergency pumped cooling. The design ensures that the fuel remains within safety limits even in the total absence of coolant in the primary system. The challenge met was the achievement of this passive cooling capability while simultaneously achieving a high, 1000 MWe power rating.
