Abstract:
The paper presents a new well construction in order to eliminate the unpleasant complications associated with the appearance of sand flow in the Electric Submersible Pumps (ESP), which is widely used in oil wells in the final stage of reservoir development. The new design is based on the combination of ESP with a Mixer based on the principle of ejector and centrifugal. The combined well construction limits the ESP to be in contact with the sand flow and prevents potential erosion and other complications. The design was modeled and tested in the laboratory condition. Keywords: field; layer; pump; well construction; sand production; sand separator.

Abstract:
The article touches upon the issues of the operating process in the elements of the external gear pump modeling. The external gear pump is the part of the gas turbine engine and pumps a low-viscosity fluid – kerosene. The article shows that sleeve bearings in such pumps continue to operate at boundary friction modes while rotation speed is increased. It also shows that the end and radial clearances are variable, and the drain system is not optimal which prevents the modeling of the system by classic approach. The main elements of the pumping unit of the external gear pump are described in the article. A simplified geometric model, which forms the basis for the analysis of the pump operation, is given as well. The problems arising during the design stage, fine-tuning, and operation of external gear fuel pumps are briefly described. A preliminary analysis of the design methods showed that several parameters of the working process are not studied well enough to provide the basis for optimal construction design and its qualitative assessment within the design stage. The description of gears operation, the system of end clamping, end, and radial plain bearings is given. The analysis of pressure distribution models is given. The analysis takes into account pressure distribution from linear distribution in the delivery chamber to the pressure drop on one tooth. Distributions from different calculation methods and literature sources are compared as well. The features of bearing loading and the conditions of their operation and lubrication are described. Based on the preliminary calculations, recommendations in the literature, and experimental data, the operation features analysis of the gear fuel pump of the gas turbine engine is carried out. There are defined problems that will provide answers to the main modeling issues in the article: pressure distribution in the intertooth displacement chamber during stationary and transient operating; fluid leakage through variable end clearances and radial clearances; dynamic of the gears and associated parts movement; the influence of external conditions (temperatures, pressures, external vibrations, etc.) on the operation of the pump in general.

Abstract:
The advancement of modern injection systems of diesel engines is related to a constant increase in the injection pressures generated by injection pumps. This translates into an improvement of the engine operation indexes, including the emission-related ones. Such an approach brings a series of problems related to the design, construction and durability of the injection system. Therefore, the authors asked whether the current market trend in injection systems is the only appropriate path to be taken. When searching for the answer, the authors decided to propose an innovative concept consisting of dissolving exhaust gas in diesel fuel with the use of an injection pump. Such a saturated solution, when flowing out of the injection nozzle, begins the process of releasing the gas dissolved in the fuel. This has a positive impact on the atomization process, hence the process of combustion. The aim of this paper stems from the previously performed research. Due to the nature of the phenomenon, it was necessary to propose a new design for the injection pump. For correct selection of the dimensions of the pumping section, it was of key importance to determine the coefficient of solubility and the bulk modulus of the solution of diesel fuel and exhaust gas. Aside from the description of the applied method and the results of the direct measurements, this paper presents the yet undescribed results of the measurements of the coefficient of solubility of different concentrations of exhaust gas in diesel fuel. The authors also investigated the influence of the amount of exhaust gas dissolved in the fuel on the bulk modulus of the solution. The final part of the paper is a description of a proprietary design of a hypocycloidal injection pump. The application of the innovative drive allows a correct dissolution of exhaust gas in the fuel.

Abstract:
In this study, the effects of hydraulic systems on lift speeds and fuel consumption of diesel forklifts were investigated. Well-known forklift models produced on the subject were examined.Literature review was done on the subject. Forklifts usually with the help of a single pump, the driver steering and lift hydraulic system is working.In our project, as the original value, two separate pumps are used for steering and elevator.In this way, during the operation, the steering is not consumed power. This extra power, which is not used for steering, increases the lifting capacity of the fork in the lift during load lifting. The hydraulic working system of our model is shown in mathematics and physics. Also with solidworks, we found the capacity values for fork lifting. The load lifting capacity values of the hydraulic system of our prototype model and the other hydraulic systems of the equivalent models were explained. The performance of our model seems to be quite good in terms of its load-bearing capacity, among other models that do not apply a dual hydraulicsystem. The design and construction of our model was completed and performance tests were performed. It is also possible to apply the tandem hydraulic system to other forklift models.

Abstract:
Pressurized fuel is fuel that is pumped by a fuel pump (fuel pump) from the fuel tank to the injector. Fuel pressure that is too low will greatly affect the performance of the engine and the risk of engine failure. Fuel pressure measurement aims to determine the performance of the fuel pump (fuel pump) is still able to work well or not. The method used is a qualitative method. The construction design starts from the planning process which includes making the concept of design, observation and processing of data so that it is found that the design is capable of reading fuel pressure from the fuel pump and is easy to use. To strengthen the results of the study, it is complemented by a literature review that has close relevance to the subject matter. Based on the results of testing that has been achieved from the entire process of making and testing the design of fuel pump pressure tester on injection motors, it can be concluded that the functional test in the last process shows that the tool can work well and is able to provide information on fuel pressure measurements from the fuel pump.

Abstract:
The operating license of Kori units 3 and 4 are to be expired in 2024 and 2025. If the plants are decided to be decommissioned, the spent nuclear fuels in the spent fuel storage pool (SFP) have to be removed from the site. However, no proper storage facility is currently available in Korea. To overcome the difficulty, this study proposes application of an independent temporary SFP cooling system. It is expected to safely isolate the SFP from the plant. The case study conducted showed this concept is achievable and technically mature. Moreover, the installation cost per unit is USD 9.51 million obtained from an analogous estimating. This is much lower cost than the dry cask options. Then, system requirements and applicable design are developed. Maximum heat generation of unit 4 is estimated as 1.67 MW, through fuel characteristics categorizations and ORIGEN calculations. To remove the decay heat, installation of an indirect air-cooled method is selected by evaluating three cooling methods. The modification includes new heat exchanger, secondary cooling pumps, and chillers. Furthermore, two single failures are considered; cooling pump and normal power. This can be covered by two redundant trains and a back-up diesel generator provided.

Abstract:
The effect of gas desorption from the solution with nucleation of gas bubbles is a process that allows to improve fuel atomization in diesel engines. The advantage of such a process, which has been experimentally proven, is a significant reduction in harmful emissions. The conducted research highlighted one of the fundamental problems. This problem concerned the injection pump - it was necessary to design a new construction that would be adapted to the desorption effect. The authors of the work proposed a construction based on a hypocycloidal drive. Due to the nature of the process, i.e. the use of exhaust gases dissolved in diesel fuel, it was very important to analyze the volumetric losses of the compression process - this is the main goal of this article. The authors proved that for the adopted design assumptions, the power of volumetric losses resulting from compressibility is 0.25% of the power consumed by the pump.

Abstract:
This study aims to create a comprehensive, holistic approach to evaluate the environmental, energy, and economic impacts of air source heat pump deployment scenarios through: (i) a life cycle assessment of air source heat pumps in Orkney houses, (ii) energy systems optimisation modelling to optimise the performance of an air source heat pump coupled with thermal energy storage tank to reduce use phase related impacts in Orkney, (iii) modelling of Orkney’s domestic building stock to understand the housing condition, and (iv) economic modelling to analyse the life cycle cost of an air source heat pump and potential savings when replacing conventional heating systems. The results show that an 82% reduction in energy supply could be achieved when ambitious energy efficiency improvement measures are adopted in the circular economy scenario. The use phase related emissions could be reduced by 98% when the air source heat pump becomes the only heating technology in Orkney. However, the life cycle-wide approach suggests that strong commitments are required in the manufacturing stage of these technologies through implementing circular principles, such as including the use of secondary materials, eco-design, and reusability of all components. Moreover, total heating costs paid by consumers in Orkney could be reduced by 84% in the circular economy scenario when air source heat pump uptake is coupled with energy efficiency improvement measures, but it requires a £130 million investment to insulate the whole housing stock of Orkney. Future scenarios indicate that decision-making has significant importance on overall results. Therefore, circular economy standards for air source heat pump manufacturing and deployment are crucial to reduce the negative impacts of fuel poverty and reach the net zero target.

Abstract:
For delivery, dosing and pressure control of fluids in mobile and stationary applications electromagnetically operated piston pumps are an established solution. The volume per stroke is exactly defined by the geometry. Nevertheless cavitation, more likely with the new fuel blends containing a high proportion of ethanol /1/, deteriorates the dosing precision of the liquid portion. One important criterion of precise metering is the transport of the liquids through the reciprocating piston pump without transferring bubbles. Especially, pumping in the range of vapour pressure of gasoline fuels implies challenges for precision. The objective of this work is revealing potential sources of reduced cavitation by optimising the design. For doing so, optical investigations have been applied. In addition to this, cavitation can be diminished controlling the piston’s travel externally. The second important item covers pumping of degenerated fluids even without negative effects on the pump’s performance. Up to now, wide, inefficient gaps or high force surplus are necessary. A new helix-design /2/ has been investigated and built up in order to reduce the described effort. The effects coming with the helix allow a permanent rinsing of the stressed surfaces, leading to lubrication and lower temperature loads. The results are shown in simulation, fundamental tests and is validated in practical pump operation.

Abstract:
An ultrafast UV-visible spectrometer was designed and implemented. An optical parametric amplifier was constructed to be used as a pump source for the spectrometer. Using nonlinear optical processes and an 800 nm ultrashort pulses, tunable infrared(IR) light was produced with a wavelength range of ∼.1 mum to 3 mum. The IR light was then mixed with 800 nm light to produce tunable visible light with a wavelength range of 466 nm to 600 nm. Supercontinuum (SC) was used as the probe pulse of the spectrometer, providing a large observation bandwidth. Commercially purchased fast spectrometers were used as the detection mechanism. The characterization of the set up, as well the observation of some ultrafast molecular dynamics observed in 8-hydroxy-1,3,6-pyrenetrisulfonic acid, are presented.

Abstract:
This last decade experienced a sudden increase of interest in the control of thermo-acoustic instabilities, in particular through the use of fuel modulation techniques. The primary goal of this research was to design, construct and characterize a high bandwidth proportional fuel injection system, which could be used to study the effect of specific levels of fuel modulation on the combustion process and the reduction of thermo-acoustic instabilities. A fuel injection system, incorporating the use of a closed loop piston and check valve, was designed to modulate the primary fuel supply of an atmospheric liquid-fueled swirl stabilized combustor operating at a mean volumetric fuel flow rate of 0.4 GPH. The ability of the fuel injection system to modulate the fuel was examined by measuring the fuel line pressure and the flow rate produced during operation. The authority of this modulation over the combustion process was investigated by examining the effect of fuel modulation on the combustor pressure and the heat release of the flame. Sinusoidal operation of the fuel injection system demonstrated: a bandwidth greater that 800 Hz, significant open loop authority (averaging 12 dB) with regards to the combustor pressure, significant open loop authority (averaging 33 dB) with regards to the unsteady heat release rate and an approximate 8 dB reduction of the combustor pressure oscillation present at 100 Hz, using a phase shift controller. It is possible to scale the closed loop piston and check valve configuration used to create the fuel injection system discussed in this work to realistic combustor operating conditions for further active combustion control studies.

Thesis (MTech (Electrical Engineering))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2017.
Fuel cell (FC) technology is one of the most sought-after renewable energy technology. However, the output voltage of FC stacks is inherently unstable; as such, it is of little or no use for most power supply applications. In addition to the unstable output voltage, FC stacks are susceptible to high current ripple, which can reduce the system’s life expectancy. The work carried out in order to stabilise the output voltage, and to reduce the current ripple of FC stacks involves a review of some existing converter topologies used for power conditioning units (PCUs), modelling, design, control and simulation of different converter topologies and the experiment of the prototype circuit for the interleaved boost voltage multiplier (IBVM) converter topology. In the process to stabilise the stack output voltage and to reduce the stack output current ripple, it is also required to improve the system response to load changes. This work presents results that show that system works, with the voltage stabilised, the stack output current ripple reduced and the response time reduced. A relative evaluation of the dynamic behaviour of four converter topologies in power conditioning units is carried out, and these are the isolated current-fed full-bridge (ICFFB) converter, the boost converter, the sepic converter and the IBVM converter. The simulation results of the four topologies show that the output voltage of a PEMFC stack was stabilised, and that the IBVM topology is a better topology compared to the others, especially when it comes to reducing the stack current ripple.

Abstract:
This study has focused on the implementation of a stack system for a novel design of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFCRoll). The issues affecting the commercialization of SOFCs are mainly based on durability and cost. The new design offers a number of advantages over the existing designs; it seeks to retain the specific advantages of both the tubular (high unit strength, no sealing problems) and planar arrangements (high power density). This design also aims to achieve low manufacturing cost by utilizing a cheap, easily scalable production technique: tape casting, together with co-firing all components, in one single step. In this study aspects of the design and operation of SOFCRoll stacks were studied particularly those affecting the single cell test reproducibility such as pre test quality control and scale up issues such as bundle and stack gas distribution. Initially the performance of single cells was characterized and the variation of their power output with temperature was observed. The maximum power, 0.7W at 800°C was achieved with a high silver content. The OCV and total resistance of this cell were 0.93V, 0.30Ω respectively. A standard pre-test quality control and current collection technique was introduced. At 800°C reproducible performance of 0.5W power obtained, average OCV was 0.935V and average series and polarization resistances of 0.18Ω and 0.19Ω was achieved respectively. Once single cell reproducibility was achieved, the design and operation of a 5 cell SOFCRoll bundle was investigated. A FLUENT CFD model was used to optimize the gas distribution in the five cell manifold design. The value of the model as a design tool was demonstrated by the comparison of 3 different gas manifold designs. The final manifold design M3 achieved 2.5W which is consistent with the 0.5W per a cell target. This manifold was then used as the basis for the development of a 25 cell stack which was built and tested. The 25 cell stack testing results were down to 0.35W per a cell. The performance drop highlighted the problem of fuel cell manufacturing reproducibility and also the importance of introducing reproducible manufacturing tequniques. That been the case for single cell manufacturing reproducibility issue, the fundamental concern for performance drop remains a design issue. To optimize the SOFCRoll design and to assist with the development program a single-cell CFD model was developed using FLUENT. The model was validated by comparison with data from experimental measurements for the single cell. The model work was used to predict the geometrical effect of the SOFCRoll tubular and the spiral gas channel configuration and current collector configuration. Results indicate the outlet gas flow velocity is higher around the spiral, near the gas inlet (the gas interring the cell preferentially flows around the spiral) therefore, velocity decrease as the gas moves along the cell. The lowest outlet velocity is registered opposite to the gas inlet, thus creating non-uniform gas distribution. The current density distribution is not uniform and is affected primarily by reactant flow distributions along the cell and possible current collection issues particularly around the spiral part of the cell.

Abstract:
Due to the increasing demand, nonclog type sewage pumps are designed and manufactured in large amounts all over the world. However, a methodology on the design of these special duty pumps is not encountered in the literature. Therefore, the manufacturers tend to develop their own empirical methodologies. In this thesis, a nonclog pump is designed and constructed on the basis of suitable approaches of known centrifugal pump design methods. In this frame, a nonclog type submersible pump that is capable of handling solids, up to a diameter of 80 mm is aimed to be designed. The designed pump delivers 100 l/s flow rate against a head of 24 m. The rotational speed of the pump is 1000 rpm. Design procedure and the important points that differ nonclog pump design from standard centrifugal pump designs are given. In addition, hydraulic characteristics of two nonclog pumps, one of which is the pump designed in this study, are investigated by means of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code. The designed pump is manufactured and tested in Layne Bowler Pump Company Inc. The test result indicates that design point is reached with a deviation in the limits of the related standard. Wire to water total best efficiency obtained by the test is 60%. Close agreement between results of actual test and numerical experimentation performed by CFD code shows that CFD analysis is a quite useful tool in predicting the hydraulic characteristics of nonclog pumps. Moreover, the pump is tested at 750 rpm and the test results are found to be in good agreement with the similitude anaysis results.

Abstract:
This paper describes the system design of an electric motor-driven fuel pump system for the MEE (More Electric Engine). The MEE is a new aircraft engine system concept which will reduce fuel burn and CO2 emissions, and improve engine safety, reliability and maintainability. At the initial concept design stage of the MEE, a feasibility study indicated that the electric fuel pump system helped improve engine efficiency. The selected fuel pump system configuration for the MEE was a fixed displacement gear pump system, the speed of which is controlled by an electric motor. Simplification of the fuel system will be expected because the electric gear pump itself is used as a metering device, but there are several technical challenges which should be overcome to realize the system. One of the technical challenges involves ensuring fuel metering accuracy via motor speed control. To address the issue, studies of the fuel flow rate feedback system were performed. A novel flow feedback system was investigated and the potential to ensure metering accuracy was confirmed. The other technical challenge is the wide speed range operation of the gear pump system. If only a single electric gear pump is used in the MEE system, the pump should accommodate a speed range of 5 to 100% because the ground starting flow rate is about 5% of the maximum flow. Operation at such low speeds is significantly harsh for the LP pump pressurizing capability and bearing film lubrication. However, optimized pump performance and operational condition were established, and it is expected that a single pump system, in which both LP and HP pumps are directly motor-driven via a single shaft, can be constructed. In addition, there is a technical challenge involved in supplying electrical power to the pump motor during the windmill engine start-up. The system design focused on the above technical challenges, and the consequent feasibility of the simplified MEE fuel pump system construction was confirmed.

Abstract:
Abstract A Permanent Magnet Motor (PMM) designed to break the 300°C barrier was previously presented that included many advancements to greatly improve the operating temperature and reliability beyond the ability of current equipment [1]. A key design element is the inclusion of a squirrel cage in the PMM rotor that results in a hybrid construction. This paper will delve into the rationale for the hybrid configuration and will assess motor performance using electromagnetic simulations and validation testing. PMMs are used in many industrial applications and have recently started to gain traction in oil and gas upstream production applications. A significant issue is the PMM compatibility with existing motor drive equipment and their need for special provisions to operate at the end of long cables without position sensors. A hybrid configuration help overcome these limitations and allows operation with conventional variable speed drives using a standard scalar controller as used with induction motors. The design, development, and qualification of the hybrid PM rotor construction were undertaken using a rigorous analytical approach combined with extensive validation testing. The motor is designed to maintain stability under the severe transient conditions in the SAGD environment, where the produced emulsion rich in gas and solids creates highly variable conditions for the motor and controller. A detailed electromagnetic model of the motor for configurations with or without the squirrel cage was undertaken to demonstrate the effectiveness of the hybrid configuration to maintain speed control stability. A time stepped method was used to simulate the motor start with simulated loading conditions, reflecting the starting and operating conditions with breakaway torques up to full load torque condition and 50% transient loads. The squirrel cage was successfully integrated within the rotor structure of a 150hp PM motor. Extensive design and thermal-structural analysis ensured the construction was acceptable for operation in the ranges −40°C to 350°C. Validation testing was then performed to demonstrate the hybrid PM motor construction functioned for use with conventional and legacy variable frequency drives.

Abstract:
DC Conduction pump immersed in sodium forms a part of Failed Fuel Location Module (FFLM) of 500 MWe Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR) currently under construction. FFLM housed in control plug of the reactor, is used to locate the failed fuel sub-assembly due to clad rupture in the fuel pin. The DC conduction pump sucks the sodium from the top of fuel sub-assemblies through the selector valve and pumps the sodium to hold up for detecting the presence of delayed neutrons. Presence of delayed neutron is the indication of failure in the sampled fuel sub-assembly. The DC Conduction Pump was chosen because of its low voltage operation (2 V) where argon/alumina ceramic can provide required electrical insulation even at operating temperature of 560°C without much complication on the manufacturing front. Sampling of sodium from top of different sub-assemblies is achieved by operation of selector valve in-conjunction with the drive motor. FFLM requires the pump to be immersed in sodium pool at ∼560°C located above the fuel sub-assemblies in the reactor. The Pump of 0.36 m3/h capacity and developing 1.45 Kg/ cm2 pressure was designed, manufactured and tested. The DC Conduction Pump has a stainless steel duct filled with liquid sodium, which is to be pumped. The stainless steel duct is kept in magnetic field obtained by means of electromagnet. The electromagnet is made of soft iron and the coil made of copper conductor surrounds the yoke portion of electromagnet. The external DC source of 2000 Amps, 2 Volt is used to send current through sodium placed in the stainless steel duct and the same current is sent through copper coil of electromagnet for producing required magneto motive force, which in turn produces required magnetic field. The interaction of current in sodium (placed in stainless steel duct) and magnetic field produced by the electromagnet in the duct region produces pumping force in the sodium. Electromagnet, copper coil, stainless steel duct, copper bus bar etc. are encapsulated in stainless steel shell. Hydraulic characteristics, efficiency, cavitation free operation at operating temperatures was ascertained by conducting tests in sodium loop called Large Component Test Rig (LCTR). The pump was also endurance tested for 750 hrs. The performance tests on DC Conduction Pump indicate that the pump meets the target specification at reactor operating condition. This paper deals with design, construction and performance testing of DC Conduction Pump.

Abstract:
External gear pumps are typically used in aero-engines for the fuel and lubrication system due to its simplicity in construction. The design of the gear pump has been considerably improved over several years by including design features to improve its overall performance and reliability. In this paper, three-dimensional numerical analysis of an external gear was carried out by including design features such as scallops at the inlet and outlet, radial and axial clearances, journal bearing clearances and the axial tilt of the supporting bushes. The Immersed Solid Method (ISM) is used to analyze the gear pump at different operating conditions. The applicability of different turbulence models to the Immersed solid method is discussed. The internal flow features are discussed and compared with the results available in the literature. The Pump characteristics curve developed from the numerical analysis using the Immersed solid method (ISM) is compared with the experimental test results.

Abstract:
This paper describes the design and construction of an advanced laboratory setup allowing the study of a multiphase pump model. The main objective is to relate the pump behaviour and instabilities to flow phenomena in the hydraulic channels, studying the machine ability to handle with multiphase flows and transient conditions and the influence of operating parameters (pump speed, flow rates, broad range of gas-liquid compositions, and suction pressure) on the machine performance and operating range, described through performance maps. To perform this study, different analysis techniques will be employed and compared: experimental test results, analytical model predictions and numerical tool validation. The key role is played by the accurate visual investigation of the main parameters characterizing multiphase flow (bubble size and shape, liquid film thickness, etc.); gas/liquid interface, flow morphology and flow pattern transition are observed and will serve later to validate the prediction models. In addition, the measurement of dynamic pressure fluctuations helps understanding the transient nature of two-phase flow phenomena. The test facility allows different fine adjustments, to study the effects of upstream flow conditions and clearance sizes on performance and stability. This first paper focuses on the laboratory test facility, reporting the design process and the results of the experimental work.

Full text
Abstract:
The Westinghouse Small Modular Reactor (SMR) incorporates an integral pressurized water reactor (iPWR) design in which all components associated with the nuclear steam supply system are housed within one pressure vessel. The Westinghouse SMR design also utilizes many of the key features from the AP1000® plant, including passive safety systems. The Westinghouse SMR will be fueled by a derivative of the successful 17×17 Robust Fuel Assembly (RFA) product. An 89 assembly core with an active height of 8 feet will provide a 24 month operating cycle with a power output of 800 MWt. Derived from the AP1000 plant and adapted to operate inside the reactor pressure vessel, 37 control rod drive mechanisms provide reactor shutdown and reactivity control capabilities. Eight seal less pumps provide a nominal reactor coolant flow of 100,000 gallons per minute. An innovative evolution of a straight tube steam generator produces a saturated mixture that is delivered to a steam separating drum located outside of the containment vessel. The steam generator along with the integral pressurizer is attached to the reactor vessel with a single closure flange located near the center of gravity of the reactor assembly and is designed to be removed during refueling operations. Like the AP1000 plant, the Westinghouse SMR relies on the natural forces of gravity and natural circulation to provide core and containment cooling during accident conditions. The passive cooling systems provide sufficient heat removal for seven days without the need for offsite AC power sources. The Westinghouse SMR also includes traditional active components such as diesel generators and pumps; however these components are not required for the safe shutdown of the plant. At a diameter of 32 feet, approximately 25 of the Westinghouse SMR containment vessels can fit within the envelope of the AP1000 containment building. This compact containment will be completely submerged in water during power operation providing a heat sink for postulated accidents. For protection against external threats, the containment vessel and plant safety systems are located below ground level. At approximately one fifth the net electrical output of the AP1000 plant, the Westinghouse SMR is designed to address infrastructure challenges associated with replacing America’s aging fossil fuel plants by providing a safe, clean and reliable energy source. The challenges associated with economies of scale are offset with a compact and simplified plant design, rail shippable components and modular construction.

Abstract:
iB1350 stands for an innovative, intelligent and inexpensive boiling water reactor 1350. It is the first Generation III.7 reactor after the Fukushima Daiichi accident. It has incorporated lessons learned from the Fukushima Daiichi accident and Western European Nuclear Regulation Association safety objectives. It has innovative safety to cope with devastating natural disasters including a giant earthquake, a large tsunami and a monster hurricane. The iB1350 can survive passively such devastation and a very prolonged station blackout without any support from the outside of a site up to 7 days even preventing core melt. It, however, is based on the well-established proven Advance Boiling Water Reactor (ABWR) design. The nuclear steam supply system is exactly the same as that of the current ABWR. As for safety design it has a double cylinder reinforced concrete containment vessel (Mark W containment) and an in-depth hybrid safety system (IDHS). The Mark W containment has double fission product confinement barriers and the in-containment filtered venting system (IFVS) that enable passively no emergency evacuation outside the immediate vicinity of the plant for a severe accident (SA). It has a large volume to hold hydrogen, a core catcher, a passive flooding system and an innovative passive containment cooling system (iPCCS) establishing passively practical elimination of containment failure even in a long term. The IDHS consists of 4 division active safety systems for a design basis accident, 2 division active safety systems for a SA and built-in passive safety systems (BiPSS) consisting of an isolation condenser (IC) and the iPCCS for a SA. The IC/PCCS pools have enough capacity for 7-day grace period. The IC/PCCS heat exchangers, core and spent fuel pool are enclosed inside the containment vessel (CV) building and protected against a large airplane crash. The iB1350 can survive a large airplane crash only by the CV building and the built-in passive safety systems therein. The dome of the CV building consists of a single wall made of steel and concrete composite. This single dome structure facilitates a short-term construction period and cost saving. The CV diameter is smaller than that of most PWR resulting in a smaller R/B. Each active safety division includes only one emergency core cooling system (ECCS) pump and one emergency diesel generator (EDG). Therefore, a single failure of the EDG never causes multiple failures of ECCS pumps in a safety division. The iB1350 is based on the proven ABWR technology and ready for construction. No new technology is incorporated but design concept and philosophy are initiative and innovative.

Abstract:
The rotary inertia of the reactor’s primary pump is an important factor related to the reactor’s safety under some accidental conditions. If the rotary inertia of the primary pump is big, that the pump’s inertia time will be long and the coolant mass flow rate will decrease slowly. So it is helpful to remove the residual heat and enhance the safety of the reactor. On the other hand, a bigger rotary inertia increases the cost, and causes some other inconvenience. In this paper, our research object is China Advanced Research Reactor (CARR) which is under construction. Systemic mathematical and physical models were set up and a program was developed using FORTRAN language with GEAR numerical method to analyze the transient of CARR. The primary thermal-hydraulic parameters of the reactor core were obtained in case of loss of power accident under different rotary inertia of the pump. These parameters include the temperature of the coolant the clad and the fuel, the maximal quality of the reactor core and MDNBR, etc. On the basis of the calculate result, it can be found that when the rotary inertia of the pump is larger than 150 Kg·m2, all of the thermal parameters in loss of power accident meet the safety requirement. And if the rotary inertia of the pump is 450 Kg·m2 which is the design value of CARR, the delay shutdown time in loss of power accident must not exceed 20 seconds.

Abstract:
A ground source heat pump (GSHP) system has higher cooling and heating performances than an air source heat pump system, so the GSHP system has attracted attention in the cold regions. Particularly after the 2011 earthquake off the Pacific coast of Tohoku, which damaged nuclear power plants, the GSHP utilizing renewable energy, has become attractive in heating system in the Tohoku region. However, it is necessary to install wells to collect ground source heat, and so, together with the cost of the heat pump itself, the installation cost is a barrier to widespread adoption of this technology in Japan. On the other hand, due to poor subsoil, foundation piles are often required in the construction of buildings in Japan. By using foundation piles as heat exchangers, which are commonly used in residential construction, the cost of using GSHP systems in houses may be reduced. However, since the placement of the piles depends on the floor layout of the residence, that is arbitrary sequence. Moreover, an arbitrary floor layout requires a complicated multi-dimensional numerical analysis to design the GSHP, and the analysis is burdensome for general designers. Therefore, the use of the model unit of the two-dimensional cylindrical heat exchange well is proposed. The use of this model, which includes an unused volume of soil, reduces the analysis burden for general design tools. On experience, the arrangement rate is 4 m2 per pile, and the well separation is narrow. And the foundation piles will form a group. So thermal interference between heat exchanger wells might be working hard. In addition, the foundation piles are very short, compared to the traditional borehole depth of 50 to 100 m. Therefore, the thermal performance of the well may degrade compared to that of the traditional GSHP system, although the initial costs are less. Therefore, we examined a GSHP system with heat exchanger piles by using the heat exchange well unit model for residences in the Tohoku region. As a result, the two-dimensional analysis and more is needed to predict the thermal performances of the heat exchanger piles so that the effect of the pitch of the heat exchange wells on the heat transfer in the axial direction will be large. In cold climates, the heating demand is large and, in the summer, the amount of waste heat to the ground is small, so a large amount of heat penetration into the ground from the atmospheric air is important for continuous GSHP operation in the Tohoku region, and in Fukushima Prefecture in particular.

Abstract:
High performance buildings demand innovative and often untested strategies for improving thermal performance and reducing energy consumption while maintaining indoor environmental quality. The Passive House design standard is increasingly being implemented in residential and small commercial construction. This standard results in buildings with airtight envelopes, high levels of insulation, very high performance windows, and energy efficient appliances. The intent of this paper is to evaluate the performance of several cutting-edge high performance building technologies as implemented in a Passive House duplex constructed in Portland, Oregon, USA. We provide an overview of the performance of the entire structure from multiple viewpoints, but focus largely on the performance of the heat recovery ventilator and heat pump water heater. Interactions of these systems with occupant behavior and indoor environmental quality are also discussed.

Abstract:
Poly-,Per-fluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) are versatile chemicals that were incorporated in a wide range of products. One of their most important use was in aqueous film-forming foams for fighting liquid fuel fires. PFAS compounds have recently been identified as potential environmental contaminants. In the United States there are hundreds of potential military sites with PFAS contamination. The ERDC designed and constructed a mobile treatment system to address small sites (250,000 gallons or less) and as a platform to field test new adsorptive media. The PFAS Effluent Treatment System (PETS) has cartridge filters to remove sediments and a granular activated carbon (GAC) media filter to remove organic compounds that might compete with PFAS in the ion exchange process, although it may also remove PFAS too. The last process is an ion exchange resin specifically designed to remove PFAS to a target level of 70 ng/L or less (equivalent to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Drinking Water Health Advisory). The system was tested at Hurlburt Field, a US Air Force facility in Florida and at Naval Support Activity (NSA) Mid-South in Millington, TN.
