While strides are being made in the research and development of environmentally acceptable
and more sustainable alternative fuels—including efforts to reduce emissions of air …

[en] The purpose of this book is twofold. First, it is intended to give a thorough treatment of the
fundamentals of aerosol behavior with rigorous proofs and detailed derivations of the basic …

Total hemispherical emissivity for Inconel 718 was measured in anticipation of its application
in Very High Temperature Gas Reactors (VHTRs). A majority of current emissivity data for …

… The Loyalka method is a generalization of the Maxwellian method and may be classified as
a … Specifically, for the Loyalka method, the two solutions used are the following exact moment …

The reactor core, moderator and reflectors of a thermal spectrum advanced molten salt reactor
will constitute multi-tons of graphite. Porous reactor-grade graphite, if unprotected, can be …

The oxidation rates of several nuclear-grade graphites, NBG-18, NBG-17, IG-110 and IG-11,
were measured in air using thermogravimetry. Kinetic parameters and oxidation behavior …

Type 316L stainless steel (SS 316L) is a candidate material for the reactor core barrel and
selected internal components for high (and very high) temperature gas reactors. An apparatus …

The oxidation rates of nuclear-grade graphite IG-110 in the kinetically-controlled temperature
regime of graphite oxidation were predicted and compared in Very High Temperature …

One of the most severe accident scenarios anticipated for VHTRs is an air ingress accident
caused by a pipe break. Graphite oxidation could be severe under these conditions. In this …

Generation, collection, and characterization of gold, silver, and palladium nanoparticles and
nano-agglomerates (collectively “nanoparticles”) have been explored. The nanoparticles …
