Correlations for some Thermal Hydraulic Parameters for a Pressurized Water Reactor
Abstract: Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) constitutes majority of nuclear power plants used worldwide because of its stability which enhances operability. However, the design and safe operation of the PWR is dependent on certain thermal hydraulic parameters such as friction factor and heat transfer. In this study, therefore the correlations for the calculation of the two important thermal hydraulic parameters are presented. Correlations used include: Dittus-Boelter and Chilton-Colburn for heat transfer, Blasius …

Parallel Genetic Algorithm for Fuel Bundle Burnup Optimization of Pressurized Heavy Water Reactor
Abstract: In this study, parallel genetic algorithm (GA) was applied to solve an optimization problem of nuclear fuel management pertaining to a 220 MWe pressurized heavy water reactor (PHWR). The study aims at finding appropriate values of reference discharge burnups of two zones of the reactor core which gives maximum fuel economy, while satisfying operational and safety-related constraints. This is a multiobjective optimization problem with four objectives and four constraints. Penalty …

PBE-based Drop Dynamics Simulation in an Unbaffled Stirred Tank Reactor
Abstract: The population balance equation (PBE)-based model describes the distribution of drop size with respective to its size. In this work, 30% TBP was dispersed in 4N nitric acid solution by turbine impeller. Drop-size distributions were measured with a 630 nm laser-based particle size analyzer. For daughter drop density function, a normal distribution function was considered. For breakage rate, Voigt model of Chen et al. was used in the simulation [1]. …

Gauge-Gravity Dualities Pertaining to Nuclear Asymmetry and Disorder in the Cosmic Framework
Abstract: Gauge-Gravity dualities impart a big role in nuclear asymmetry. Hence, the non-equilibrium BIS fabric of spacetime foam arises. An ordered cosmic state becomes unstable leading to cosmic disorder. In our present paper, we have given a theoretical description of the disordered spacetime foam in terms of Gauge-Gravity dualities. Keywords: Gauge-Gravity dualities, Anti de Sitter theory, QFT, String theory Cite this Article Sobinder Singh. Gauge-Gravity Dualities Pertaining to Nuclear Asymmetry and …

Implication of Topological Quantum Field Theory for the Integrable Structure of Nuclei Pertaining to Anisotropic Nuclear Decay
Abstract: In the present paper, the basic rules of AdS theory have been lent in order to comprehend the composite structure of the cosmic nuclei. Super Yang–Mills theory indirectly gives us an idea of nuclear decay as a result of change in the topology of the nuclear structure. The variation in topology changes the viscosity of the cosmic nuclei. Finally, using Sakai–Sugimoto model the nuclear decay is shown as a result …
