Separate effects of surface roughness, wettability and porosity on boiling heat transfer and critical heat flux and optimization of boiling surfaces
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
The separate effects of surface wettability, porosity, and roughness on critical heat flux (CHF) and heat transfer coefficient (HTC) were examined using carefully-engineered surfaces. All test surfaces were prepared on ...
Knowledge organization and content generation in knowledgemediaries
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)
Loss-of-flow analysis of an unfinned, graded fuel meat, LEU monolithic U-10Mo fuel design in support of the MITR-II fuel conversion
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)
In order to satisfy requirements of the Global Threat Reduction Initiative (GTRI), the 6 MW MIT Research Reactor (MITR-II) is to convert from the current 93%-enr 235U highly-enriched uranium (HEU) fuel to the low-enriched ...
Finding the swing voter : definitions and survey methods for voter classification
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
This thesis proposes a theory mapping emotional reactions to political information onto a theory of vote decisionmaking and then further onto measurable survey response. Using on-line processing based in emotion, voters ...
Feasibility study of compact Neutron Resonance Transmission Analysis using a linac, a fusion-based neutron generator, and an isotopic source
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-05)
Various nuclear security applications such as fuel enrichment analysis and warhead verification seek to identify nuclear materials in a black box target. Neutron Resonance Transmission Analysis (NRTA) is a spectroscopic ...
Simulation of Irradiation of a Molten Salt Loop at the MIT Reactor
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-02)
Over the past decade or so, molten salt reactors (MSR) have gained a lot of interest within the nuclear energy community, with two of the ten reactor designs supported by the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Advanced Reactor ...
