The paper presents a novel Si-substrated micro-hotplate for gas sensor. Use platinum filament as heater, SiO2 as thermal and electricity insulation. Through optimizing analysis, in order to make the gas sensor obtain perfect properties of higher temperature and uniform temperature distribution, the thickness of SiO2, thickness of Si substrate, electrode width and electrode space are designed to be 50, 250, 20 and 500 μm, respectively. Via the analysis of magnetic field distribution of the new gas sensor, the new electrode structure can eliminate the interference on the measurement signal from magnetic field, which is benefit for the improvement of sensor performance.

Micro-structural gas sensor with a new kind of electrode is designed. Platinum filament is selected as gold electrodes, and SiO2 is used as the thermal and electricity insulation layer. The simulation results of ANSYS reveal that when the thickness of SiO2, thickness of Si substrate, electrode with and electrode space are 50, 250, 15 and 60 µm, respectively, the sensors can own higher temperature and uniform temperature distributing in the center. The magnetic field distribution is also analyzed by ANSYS, and the results show that the new electrodes can eliminate magnetic field from the heater on the measuring signal interference, which is benefit for the improvement of sensor performance.

This paper reports on the optimization of a novel micro-hotplate with three pins designed for micro-structural gas sensor. The temperature distribution of the Si-substrated micro gas sensor was simulated and analyzed by the finite element analysis (FEA) tool ANSYS. In order to make the gas sensor obtain perfect properties of good temperature uniformity, the thickness of Si substrate, thickness of the front and rear SiO2, measuring electrode width and electrode space were designed to be 150, 50,100, 20 and 500 μm, respectively. The new micro-structural gas sensor is benefit for the improvement of sensor performance.

A travelling wave reactor (TWR) is an advanced nuclear reactor which is capable of running for decades given only depleted uranium fuel, it is considered one of the most promising solutions for nonproliferation. A preliminary core design was proposed in this paper. The calculation was performed by Monte Carlo method. The burning mechanism of the reactor core design was studied. Optimization on the ignition zone was performed to reduce the amount of enriched uranium initially deployed. The results showed that the preliminary core design was feasible. The optimization analysis showed that the amount of enriched uranium could be reduced under rational design.
