Thorium the Fuel of the Future to Revitalize Nuclear Power Generation
Abstract: After disasters like Kyshtym, Windscale, Fukushima, Chernobyl etc., nuclear energy carried a dreaded stigma. The cost of nuclear power generation in the conventional way is on the rise, and so there is a resurgence in nuclear technology using thorium as fuel. There is a great pressure from international community to reduce carbon emission. So many countries are looking for a path to generate energy that is distinctly different but pays …

Thorium Nuclear Reactor: A Sustainable Future for Clean Energy-A Review Study
Abstract: Thorium-232, a naturally abundant and fertile element, is increasingly regarded as a viable alternative to uranium-235 as the basis of future nuclear fuel cycles. This review examines the physical and nuclear properties that make thorium attractive as a reactor fuel, the mechanics of the thorium- uranium-233 fuel cycle, and the principal reactor concepts developed to exploit it, including pressurized heavy water reactors, pressurized water reactors, fast breeder reactors, advanced heavy …

Seismic Performance of RCC Elevated Liquid Storage Tank
Abstract: As compared to other Civil Engineering structures elevated liquid storage tank is the 2nd most vulnerable structure under earthquake excitation, reason is more the flexibility and more the mass causes the longer time periods. In most of the cases it is almost equal to or up to 4 seconds. This paper compares the seismic analysis of Intz, Circular and Rectangular shape elevated liquid storage tanks of capacity 250m3 in accordance …

Seismic performance of shaft type staging elevated water tanks with and without shear deformation
Abstract: This paper compares the seismic analysis of Intz shape shaft type elevated liquid storage tanks with and without considering shear deformation along with flexural deformations of capacity 250m3,500m3 and1000m3 in accordance with IS: 1893- (Part-2) 2014. To study the effect of shear deformation of staging, on seismic performance of elevated liquid storage tank (assumed liquid as water). The analysis is carried out for elevated liquid storage tanks of shape Intz …

Novelty of Cascaded Inverter Based Two Stage Power Conditioning Systems for Constant Wind Power Applications
Abstract: Wind energy has proved to be the most promising renewable energy source because of its environmental friendly nature. Wind energy can be generated by harnessing the kinetic energy of atmospheric air. The present concern towards wind turbines is to increase the size of turbine in order to harvest more energy and also to reduce cost of per megawatt capacity. This paper proposes a 2-stage power conversion technique. The first stage …
