Efficient helium cooling methods for nuclear fusion devices: Status and prospects
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2009)
Helium-cooled reactors offer several important advantages as the helium is an inert and neutron transparent gas. compatible with high outlet temperatures and all structural and functional materials considered for plasma ...
Plane strain fracture toughness of MP35N in aged and unaged conditions measured using modified CT specimens
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2003)
The multiphase alloy MP35N (35% Ni, 35% Co, 10% Mo, 20% Cr) is a high strength, high toughness alloy of choice for several safety-critical applications in aerospace, oil drilling, and biomedical industries. Several previous ...
Design update, thermal and fluid dynamic analyses of the EU-HCPB TBM in vertical arrangement
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2009)
In the frame of the activities of the EU Breeder Blanket Programme and of the Test Blanket Working Group of ITER, the Helium Cooled Pebble Bed Test Blanket Module (HCPB TBM) is developed in Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe (FZK) ...
Thermal-hydraulic analysis of a steam boiler with rifled evaporating tubes
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2007)
Rifled evaporating tubes are applied in the steam boilers with the aim to increase the steam-water mixture turbulization and to prevent the burnout of tubes walls. The rifled evaporating tubes and the working fluid forced ...
Modelling of ductile fracture initiation in strength mismatched welded joint
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2008)
In this paper, the effect of strength mismatch and width of the welded joints oil the stress-strain distribution in the crack tip region has been discussed. The single-edge notched bend (SENB) specimens (precrack length ...
A computer code for the prediction of mill gases and hot air distribution between burners' sections at the utility boiler
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2008)
One of the main tasks during the design or simulation and analyses of the utility steam boiler operation is the prediction of a distribution of mill gases and hot air flow rates between burners' sections. These are the ...
Mock-up testing facilities and qualification strategy for EU ITER TBMs
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2010)
European test blanket modules (TBM) for both European blanket concepts, namely the Helium Cooled Lithium Lead (HCLL) and the Helium Cooled Pebble Bed (HCPB), and their auxiliary systems have been designed in the last years. ...
Failure analysis of the combat jet aircraft rudder shaft
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2011)
This paper analyzes failure causes of the combat jet aircraft rudder shaft (RS) which occurred during the flight mission. A finite element method (FEM), utilized to determine the stress state of the RS subjected to hinge ...
Estimation of the number of trays for natural gas triethylene glycol dehydration column
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2011)
The paper deals with the tray-to-tray method for determining the required number of trays in columns with intensive entrainment of liquid when the operating line of the "dry working regime" is not straight and with a small ...
Bucket chain excavator: Failure analysis and redesign of the counterweight boom supporting truss columns
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2013)
The supporting truss of the counterweight boom is a vital part of the bucket chain excavator's (BCE) superstructure. The occurrence and propagation of cracks in the supporting truss columns' heads may lead to BCE collapse. ...
