Safety analysis was conducted for the KSU TRIGA Mark-II reactor to assess the safety impact of loading enriched fuel in the reactor core. This analysis was performed using a representative single channel conservative model in the best estimate thermal-hydraulic code RELAP5/MOD3.3. However the effects of epistemic uncertainties on the safety calculations and sensitivity of the model towards these uncertainties...
Experiments were carried out to analyze the flow characteristics of ultra supercritical (USC) turbine control and stop valve for a power conversion system. The USC turbine system provides highest internal efficiencies with lowest fuel cost. The overload admission feature has proven to be very effective for flexible turbine operation with rapid load (electric) change and improved startup performance...
Design characteristics and secondary side cycle efficiency of OPR1000 are analyzed based on mass and energy conservation equations. Detailed mathematical formulation and solution procedure is presented which can also be applied to any thermal power plants having re-heaters, moisture separators and feed water heaters. For the sake of simplicity, exergy analysis and irreversibilities associated with...
To vanquish the ever increasing demand of energy and trounce the carbon dioxide emission; the human race is looking towards the renewables and nuclear energy as the plausible sources. During the past few years the general public consensus about the later have taken a negative turn; attributed to the Fukushima nuclear disaster. To counter this nuclear unit designers have proposed the idea of Accident...
