A solar chimney power plant (SCPP) offers an efficient method of converting solar irradiation to electrical power. It can be combined with a nuclear power plant to improve its efficiency and minimize its environmental impact. Rather than dumping the

The intermittency of renewable power generation systems on the low carbon electric grid can be alleviated by using nuclear systems as quasi-storage systems. Nuclear air-Brayton systems can produce and store hydrogen when electric generation is abunda

This paper describes the development of a coupled space-angle a posteriori error analysis and adaptive method for radiation transport calculations based on the second-order, even-parity form of the transport equation discretized by a variational fini

A hybridization of the recently introduced Particle Collision Algorithm (PCA) and the Nelder–Mead Simplex algorithm is introduced and applied to a core design optimization problem which was previously attacked by other metaheuristics. The optimizat

In this work, the two-fluid granular temperature model is used to investigate the heat exchanged between a heated wall and a gas-solid fluidized bed. Numerical simulations were performed in 2-D and 3-D fluidized beds using a solid phase effective the

Two stochastic optimization algorithms conceptually similar to Simulated Annealing are presented and applied to a core design optimization problem previously solved with Genetic Algorithms. The two algorithms are the novel Particle Collision Algorith

Simulating radiation transport of neutral particles (neutrons and γ-ray photons) within subsurface formations has been an area of research in the nuclear well-logging community since the 1960s, with many researchers exploiting existing computational

This paper describes several modifications to the design of a fluidized bed nuclear reactor in order to improve its performance. The goal of these modifications is to achieve a higher power output, requiring an excess reactivity of 4% at maximum expa

Debate surrounds the extent of tidal influence in Palaeozoic shallow epi-continental seas. In the absence of analogical reasoning, numerical modelling provides a quantitative means of investigating tidality in the geological record. Herein a new fini
