High grade nuclear heat supply from molten salt reactors via pipelines: Parametric studies on heat loss
Abstract: Nuclear power plants based on molten salt technology have the potential to supply low carbon emissions intensity thermal energy and electricity to support industrial decarbonization. The primary coolant of these reactors is a multi-component fluoride salt like FLiNaK and this stream can be partly extracted to serve as industrial heat source with temperatures of about 550-600oC. This study examines the pipeline-based transport of this heat source to a potential point …

Assessment of Clayey Soils and Bentonite to Use as Compacted Clay Liner for the Disposal of Municipal Solid Wastes at Lucknow City, India
Abstract: Dumping of municipal solid wastes in a pit without liner causes groundwater contamination. Use of locally available clayey soils will be a cost-effective landfill technique. Mixing of locally available soils with bentonite reduces the permeability. To develop the liner for the disposal of municipal solid wastes generated from Lucknow city, India, the soil samples were collected from three different locations as nearby the Sagar Institute, Barabanki district; near railway crossing, …

Inverse Model for Predicting Thermal Abnormality of the Transient Process Triggered by Defective Electronics Element
Abstract: The paper presents a model for predicting thermal abnormalities in Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) by approximating the thermal process of electric elements with heating from point sources. Circuit board heat sources are defined as point and non-point. The point heat source is a small electronic heating element that can be approximated as having originated from one point on the circuit board. A non-point source is one with heat distributed over …

Optimal PMU Placement in Power Systems Using Graph Theory and PSAT
Abstract: Phasor measurement units (PMUs) play a vital role in modern power systems by delivering synchronized, real-time measurements. These devices enhance system reliability by supporting functions such as monitoring, protection, and control. By accurately capturing voltage and current phasors across different locations, PMUs enable better situational awareness and more effective decision-making in grid operations and management. Determining the optimal location of PMUs is essential to ensure system observability, reduce installation costs, …
