Based on the reactor physics and heat transfer parameter of rod-shaped fuel element, the steady state distribution and variation for rod-shaped assembly are analyzed and computed; using the virtual reality technology, 3D geometric entities of fuel element is constructed and divided into grid according to different condition; Through the normalized treatment for numerical results, the VR simulation environment for temperature field of fuel element is constructed. The research for field visualization has some reference value for core thermal design and operational safety analysis.

The Dual Fluid Reactor (DFR) is a molten salt fast reactor developed by the IFK1 based on the Gen-IV Molten-Salt Reactor (MSR) and the Liquid-Metal Cooled Reactor (SFR, LFR) concepts. The analysis reported focuses on the comparison between previous neutronic calculations with the default fuel salt of U-Pu mixture and new ones with a transuranium (TRU) salt fuel option under steady state conditions. They include criticality, neutron spectrum, spatial flux distribution and temperature coefficient values. Fuel based on molten TRU salts has already been considered for the MSFR and other molten salt reactor designs. Therefore, the DFR for the first time has a comparable baseline with other molten salt reactors, so that its performance with TRU salt fuel can be assessed.

Use of the electron microscope to examine wet objects is possible due to the small mass thickness of the equilibrium pressure of water vapor at room temperature. Previous attempts to examine hydrated biological objects and water itself used a chamber consisting of two small apertures sealed by two thin films. Extensive work in our laboratory showed that such films have an 80% failure rate when wet. Using the principle of differential pumping of the microscope column, we can use open apertures in place of thin film windows.Fig. 1 shows the modified Siemens la specimen chamber with the connections to the water supply and the auxiliary pumping station. A mechanical pump is connected to the vapor supply via a 100μ aperture to maintain steady-state conditions.

We performed a steady state high-yielding depolymerization of soluble acetal-stabilized lignin in flow, which offered a window into challenges and opportunities that will be faced when continuously processing this feedstock.

This paper discusses a theoretical method for the “reverse engineering” of networks based solely on steady-state (and quasi-steady-state) data.
