2. 1. On Fuel Coolant Interactions and Debris Coolability in Light Water Reactors

   Author : Sachin Thakre; Weimin Ma; Florian Fichot; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; severe accident; fuel-coolant interactions; melt jet fragmentation; steam explosion; debris bed coolability; uncertainty analysis; Energiteknik; Energy Technology;

   Abstract : During the case of a hypothetical severe accident in a light water reactor, core damage may occur and molten fuel may interact with water resulting in explosive interactions. A Fuel-Coolant Interactions (FCI) consists of many complex phenomena whose characteristics determine the energetics of the interactions. READ MORE

4. 2. An Experimental Study on Melt Fragmentation, Oxidation and Steam Explosion during Fuel Coolant Interactions

   Author : Louis Manickam; Weimin Ma; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; severe accident; fuel coolant interactions; melt jet breakup; debris properties; steam explosion; oxidation; high-speed visualization; Physics; Fysik;

   Abstract : Nordic type boiling water reactors (BWRs) adopt reactor cavity flooding as a severe accident mitigation strategy (SAMS) to achieve core melt fragmentation and long-term cooling of decay heat generating core debris. The qualification of this SAMS needs to address two main severe accident issues: debris bed coolability and steam explosion. READ MORE

5. 3. Study on Metallic Melt Coolant Interactions and Debris Bed Formation in a Water Pool

   Author : Yan Xiang; Weimin Ma; Sevostian Bechta; Andrei A. Komlev; Michael Buck; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Severe accident; fuel coolant interactions; metallic melt; jet fragmentation; debris bed; CLSVOF.; Svåra haverier; interaktioner mellan bränsle och kylmedel; metallsmälta; jetfragmentering; grusbädd; CLSVOF; Kärnenergiteknik; Nuclear Engineering;

   Abstract : To assess corium coolability during severe accidents of LWR, significant number of studies have been conducted previously to investigate the characteristics of debris beds formed from FCI due to fragmentation of molten corium and settlement of the fragments in a water pool. However, their focus has been placed on the oxidic component (UO2/ZrO2) of corium, while little attention has been paid to the debris bed formation due to FCI of the metallic component (Zr/Fe) of corium.

7. 5. Particulate Formation in GDI Engines

   Author : Sreelekha Etikyala; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; PM; Alternate fuels; Gasoline Direct Injection; internal combustion engines; Particulate Number; Load transients;

   Abstract : The need to comply with stringent emission regulations while improving fuel economy and reducing criteria pollutant emissions from transportation presents a major challenge in the design of gasoline Direct Injection (DI) engines because of the adverse effects of ultrafine Particulate Number (PN) emissions on human health and other environmental concerns. With upcoming advances in vehicle electrification, it may be the case that electric vehicles completely replace all current vehicles powered by internal combustion engines ensuring zero emissions.
