Challenges In Sodium Cooled Fast Reactor Thermal Hydraulics
Abstract: Heat Transfer and Fluid flow phenomena (referred as Thermal Hydraulics) play a significant role in the safe and economical design of fast breeder reactors (FBR). The sodium cooled fast reactors have a very complex flow and temperature profile within the pool or the test vessel. The high temperature operating conditions (~540 deg.C) also impose stringent requirements on the thermal design of the components. The basic approach of thermal hydraulic design …

To explore the effect of polyethylene glycol additive on mechanical and gas permeation properties of polyvinyl alcohol membranes
Abstract: Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) membranes were prepared by solution casting and blended with Polyethylene glycol (PEG) in de-ionized water which led to the formation of porous and flexible membranes. Extensive experimentation were performed, in order to find out that at what composition of PEG pores will be generated in the PVA membranes. The PVA polymer is a hard and crystalline thermoplastic so high concentrations of PEG were used, i.e. 40 wt%, …

IMPACT OF HYDRATED LIME AND SBS ON HMA MOISTURE SUSCEPTIBILITY
Abstract: Abstract In recent years, many of the newly built asphalt and concrete roads in Baghdad and other Iraqi cities have broken down too soon. This has hurt the country's economy and public safety. One of the main reasons why these newly built roads break down is because of water damage. Leaking water weakens the bond between the aggregate and the asphalt, which makes it more likely that sidewalks will fall …

Abstract: Among different options proposed for carbon dioxide (CO2) storage and sequestration, saline formations seem promising due to their wide availability and potentially large storage capability. As supercritical (SC) CO2 is injected into the formation, a variety of coupled processes takes place. Halite precipitation requires particular interest due to its potentially significant impact on permeability impairment, and thus reduction of injectivity in the near well bore region.
