  2. 1. Assessment and improvements of thermal-hydraulic correlations and methods for the analysis of the Jules Horowitz Reactor

    Author : Alberto Ghione; Chalmers University of Technology; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Flow instability; Uncertainty; Narrow channels; Jules Horowitz Reactor; Safety analysis; Critical heat flux; Thermal-hydraulic correlations; Heat transfer; Best-Estimate; Material Testing Reactor;

    Abstract : Nuclear research reactors are used to test materials for current and future nuclear technologies, and to produce radioisotopes for medical purposes. Most of the existing Material Testing Reactors in Europe have operated for more than 50 years and new ones are needed. READ MORE

  4. 2. Uncertainty and sensitivity analysis applied to LWR neutronic and thermal-hydraulic calculations

    Author : Augusto Hernandéz Solís; Chalmers University of Technology; []
    Keywords : sensitivity analysis; Nuclear best estimate codes; uncertainty analysis;

    Abstract : The deterministic modeling of LWRs begins with the computation of energy‐collapsed and homogenizedmacroscopic cross‐sections by means of a lattice code. Once these parameters are functionalized as a functionof the reactor state variables and discretized in space, they are used as input variables by core simulators inorder to calculate the spatial distribution of the neutron flux and thus, the spatial distribution of the power.

  5. 3. Risk Assessment of Hygrothermal Performance - Building Envelope Retrofit

    Author : Simon Pallin; Chalmers University of Technology; []
    Keywords : retrofit; Risk; hygrothermal; simulations.; residential; mold; energy savings;

    Abstract : A risk assessment of the hygrothermal performance for a building envelope retrofit investigates possible variations in energy performance, indoor environment quality and moisture safety and elaborates on the risks of exceeding defined acceptance criteria. These risks can be properly determined if including the variability of, by the investigated retrofit, most influencing parameters. READ MORE

  6. 4. Sensitivity and Uncertainty Analysis of BWR Stability

    Author : Ivan Gajev; Tomas Lefvert; Paolo Vinai; KTH; []
    Keywords : ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; BWR Stability; Sensitivity; Uncertainty; Engineering physics; Teknisk fysik; SRA - Energy; SRA - Energi;

    Abstract : Best Estimate codes are used for licensing, but with conservative assumptions. It is claimed that the uncertainties are covered by the conservatism of the calculation. READ MORE

  7. 5. The Origin-Destination Matrix Estimation Problem : Analysis and Computations

    Author : Anders Peterson; Jan Lundgren; Torbjörn Larsson; Lars-Göran Mattsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Traffic modelling; Travel demand; Origin--Destination matrix; Traffic flow observation; Detector allocation; Estimation.; OD-matris; Trafikflödesobservation; Detektorallokering; Skattning; Trafikmodellering; Reseefterfrågan; Optimization; systems theory; Optimeringslära; systemteori;

    Abstract : For most kind of analyses in the field of traffic planning, there is a need for origin--destination (OD) matrices, which specify the travel demands between the origin and destination nodes in the network. This thesis concerns the OD-matrix estimation problem, that is, the calculation of OD-matrices using observed link flows. READ MORE
