Assessment of Two Phase Turbulent Mixing Models for Subchannel Analysis Relevant to BWR
Abstract: AbstractDetermination of turbulent mixing rate of two phase flow between neighboring subchannels is an important aspect of subchannel analysis in reactor rod bundles. Various models have been developed for two phase turbulent mixing rate between subchannels. These models show that turbulent mixing rate is strongly dependent on flow regimes; their validity was examined against specific or limited experiments. It is vital to evaluate these models by comparing the predicted two …

Experimental Investigation of Effect of Soil Structure Interaction on Buildings
Abstract: In the conventional analysis and design, buildings are generally considered to be fixed at their bases, but in actual practice, the support condition depends on the type of soil on which it is founded. The flexibility of the soil medium allows the movement of soil and foundation, which decreases in the overall stiffness of building frames and results in a subsequent increase in natural periods of the system. Thus, the …

In Silico Exploration of Podophyllum Hexandrum-Derived Phytocompounds as Potential Therapeutics Against Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC): A Molecular Docking Approach
Abstract: Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) is a fast-growing and aggressive type of lung cancer that spreads quickly strongly associated with smoking. It is characterized by symptoms, such as persistent cough, breathing difficulties, or hoarseness, though it can sometimes be asymptomatic which makes early detection challenging. The tumor suppressor gene TP53 is critical in regulating the cell cycle and preventing uncontrolled cell division. Mutations in TP53 result in the loss of …
