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. ...
HETRA experiment for investigation of heat removal from the first wall of helium-cooled-pebble-bed test blanket module
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2011)
This paper presents an experimental test section which has been developed at the Institute for Neutron Physics and Reactor Technique in Karlsruhe Institute of Technology for investigations of heat removal from the first ...
Failure investigation of the bucket wheel excavator crawler chain link
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2013)
The high mobility of open pit machines in heavy duty conditions provides fertile ground for the occurrence of various failures of the traveling mechanisms' vital parts such as chain links. The goal of the study presented ...
The fundamental role of fluid dynamic analyses in the design of the solid EU Test Blanket Module
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2012)
In the frame of the activities of the European Test Blanket Module Consortium of Associates, the Helium Cooled Pebble Bed Test Blanket Module (HCPB TBM), the so-called solid TBM, is developed in Karlsruhe Institute of ...
Explicit parametric method for optimal spur gear tooth profile definition
(Trans Tech Publications Ltd, 2013)
The gear tooth profile has an immense effect on the main operating parameters of gear pairs (load capacity, working life, efficiency, vibrations, etc). In current engineering research and practice, there is a strong need ...
Assessment of the effect of pitting corrosion on fatigue crack initiation in hydro turbine shaft
(Trans Tech Publications Ltd, 2013)
Energy efficiency is a key issue worldwide, and not confined solely to the realm of engineers. Past failures of mechanical power system components must be examined carefully in order to minimise future occurrences and ...
Second-Order Adjoint Sensitivity and Uncertainty Analysis of a Heat Transport Benchmark Problem-II: Computational Results Using G4M Reactor Thermal-Hydraulic Parameters
(Amer Nuclear Soc, La Grange Pk, 2016)
This work presents numerical results for the second-order sensitivities of the temperature distributions in a paradigm benchmark problem modeling heat transport in a reactor fuel rod and the surrounding coolant channel. ...
Failure analysis of hydraulic turbine shaft
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2012)
This paper describes the analysis of major failure of 28 MW horizontal hydro turbine shaft. The analysis of load carrying capacity of critical radius and fractography analysis are presented. Special emphasize is on ...
Experimental and numerical investigations of heat transfer in the first wall of Helium-Cooled-Pebble-Bed Test Blanket Module - Part 1: Presentation of test section and 3D CFD model
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2015)
This paper deals with cooling of the first wall of Helium-Cooled-Pebble-Bed Test Blanket Module (HCPB TBM) for ITER. The first wall cooling is an important investigation issue due to an extreme asymmetry of heat loads: ...
Experimental and numerical investigations of heat transfer in the first wall of Helium-Cooled-Pebble-Bed Test Blanket Module Part 2: Presentation of results
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2015)
This paper is the continuation of the first report on investigations of heat transfer in the first wall of Helium-Cooled-Pebble-Bed Test Blanket Module for ITER submitted to this Journal (see Ilic et al. [ID. The investigations ...
