The nuclear heating reactor (NHR) is a typical integral pressurized water reactor (iPWR) developed by the institute of nuclear and new energy technology (INET) of Tsinghua University, which has the safety advanced features such as the primary circuit integral arrangement, full-range natural circulation, self-pressurization. Power-level control is crucial for the operational stability and efficiency of the NHR, and the dynamic modeling is a basis for control system design and verification. From the conservation laws of mass, energy and momentum, a lumped-parameter dynamical model is proposed for the nuclear steam supply system (NSSS) based on the 200MWth nuclear heating reactor II (NHR200-II). The steady-state model validation is given by the comparing the parameter values of this model and that for plant design. Then, both the open-loop responses under the disturbances of reactivity and coolant flowrates as well as the closed-loop responses under the case of power ramp are given, where the rationality of the responses are analyzed from the viewpoint of plant physics and thermal-hydraulics. This model can be utilized for not only the control system design but also the development of a real-time simulator for the hardware-in-loop control system verification.

Detailed measurements of the positions of stakes along the center-line of the lower Nisqually Glacier were made over a period of two years. Variations in the basal sliding speed were calculated from the measured changes in surface speed, surface slope, and thickness, using the glacier flow model of Nye (1952) and allowing for the effect of the valley walls, longitudinal stress gradients, and uncertainties in the flow law of ice. The flow is predominantly by basal sliding and has a pronounced seasonal variation of approximately ±25%. Internal deformation contributes progressively less to the total motion with distance up-glacier. Neither the phase nor the magnitude of the seasonal velocity fluctuations can be accounted for by seasonal variations in the state of stress within the ice or at the bed, and the variations do not correlate directly with the melt-water discharge from the terminus. A seasonal wave in the ice flow travels down the glacier at a speed too high for propagation by internal deformation or the pressure melting/enhanced creep mechanism of basal sliding.The rate of sliding appears to be determined primarily by the amount of water in temporary storage in the glacier. The peak in sliding speed occurs, on the average, at the same time as the maximum liquid water storage of the South Cascade Glacier. The data support the idea that glaciers store water in the fall, winter and spring and then release it in the summer. This temporary storage may be greatest near the equilibrium line. The amount of stored water may increase over a period of years and be released catastrophically as a jökulhlaup. Any dependence of sliding on the basal shear stress is probably masked by the effect of variations in the hydrostatic pressure of water having access to the bed.

This chapter examines the established Systems Dynamics (SD) methods applied to software projects in order to simplify them. These methods are highly non-linear and contain large numbers of variables and built-in decisions. A SIMULINK version of an SD model is used here and conclusions are made with respect to the initial main controlling factors, compared to a NASA project. Control System methods are used to evaluate the critical features of the SD models. The eigenvalues of the linearised system indicate that the important factors are the hiring delay time, the assimilation time, and the employment time. This illustrates how the initial state of the system is at best neutrally stable with control only being achieved with complex non-linear decisions. The purpose is to compare the simplest SD and control models available required for “good” simulation of project behaviour with the Abdel-Hamid software project model. These models give clues to the decision structures that are necessary for good agreement with reality. The final simplified model, with five states, is a good match for the prime states of the Abdel-Hamid model, the NASA data, and compares favourably to the Ruiz model. The linear control system model has a much simpler structure, with the same limitations. Both the simple SD and control models are more suited to preliminary estimates of project performance.
