Methods for Comparative Assessment of Active and Passive Safety Systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Advanced Nuclear Power Program, 2008-02)
Passive cooling systems sometimes use natural circulation, and they are not dependent on
offsite or emergency AC power, which can simplify designs through the reduction of
emergency power supplying infrastructure. The ...
Critical Heat Flux Enhancement via Surface Modification Using Colloidal Dispersions of Nanoparticles (Nanofluids)
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Advanced Nuclear Power Program, 2008-06)
Nanofluids are engineered colloidal dispersions of nanoparticles (1-100nm) in common fluids
(water, refrigerants, or ethanol…). Materials used for nanoparticles include chemically stable
metals (e.g., gold, silver, ...
