Liquid entrainment and thermal hydraulics play a pivotal role in the safety and efficiency of modern nuclear power plants. The phenomenon of entrainment – whereby liquid droplets are dislodged and ...

If successfully developed, Super-Critical Water-Cooled Reactors (SCWRs) will achieve higher thermal efficiencies (44-45%) than current evolutionary LWRs and HWRs (34-36%), and thereby promise improved ...

A Moorthi, scientist, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, delivered a lecture titled ‘Application of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to Thermal Hydraulic Analysis of Industrial Problems’ under the ‘Ek ...

Severe accidents in nuclear reactors, though low-probability events, pose significant risks to human safety, the environment, and public trust in nuclear ...

During normal operation, thermal circuit breakers utilize a thermal sensing element (such as bimetal), which deflects when the temperature reaches a predetermined calibration level, causing the ...

Thermal management remains a critical consideration in marine engineering, where propulsion systems, hydraulic equipment and onboard power systems operate under sustained loads in demanding ...

In the not so distant future, data centers are going to be launched into orbit, where they’ll be cooled by the vacuum of space. Science fiction becomes reality, the furnace-hot servers will dump heat ...
