The fuel cycle economics of PWR extended burnup
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1986) -
Fuel cycle options for optimized recycling of nuclear fuel
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The accumulation of transuranic inventories in spent nuclear fuel depends on both deployment of advanced reactors that can be loaded with recycled transuranics (TRU), and on availability of the facilities that separate and ... -
Fuel economy of a turbocharged, single-cylinder, four-stroke engine
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)Agriculture is the main source of livelihood for a majority of India's population. However, despite the number of workers, the yield and the yield of principal crops in India is much lower than that in developed nations. ... -
Fuel economy regulations and efficiency technology improvements in U.S. cars since 1975
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Light-duty vehicles account for 43% of petroleum consumption and 23% of green- house gas emissions in the United States. Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards are the primary policy tool addressing petroleum ... -
Fuel economy, electric vehicles, and the future of US infrastructure funding
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)This paper examines how fuel tax policies affect the generation of revenue to maintain the US road infrastructure. Currently, deferred maintenance and outdated policies have led to a budget deficit to both finance new ... -
Fuel effects in homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engines
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Homogenous-charge, compression-ignition (HCCI) combustion is a new method of burning fuel in internal combustion (IC) engines. In an HCCI engine, the fuel and air are premixed prior to combustion, like in a spark-ignition ... -
Fuel effects on driveability and hydrocarbon emissions of spark-ignition engines during starting and warm-up processes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997) -
Fuel efficient attitude control of spacecraft
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1979) -
Fuel element performance maps for nuclear reactor operational decisions.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1978) -
Fuel metering effects on hydrocarbon emissions and engine stability during cranking and start-up in a port fuel injected spark ignition engine
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001) -
Fuel oil atomization
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1943) -
Fuel optimal control of second and third-order linear systems with different time constraints
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1963) -
Fuel performance modeling of high burnup mixed oxide fuel for hard spectrum LWRs
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)According to the future of the nuclear fuel cycle study at MIT, a reactor with a conversion ratio around one can achieve desired objectives in the long-term sustainability of uranium and reduction of transuranic wastes. ... -
Fuel performance of multi-layered zirconium and silicon carbide based Accident Tolerant Fuel claddings
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)The Accident Tolerant Fuel (ATF) program is focused on extending the time for fuel failure during postulated severe accidents compared to the standard UO₂-Zr alloy fuel system. This thesis investigates the feasibility of ... -
Fuel preheating in free-burning fires
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1967) -
Fuel tank corrosion impacts on future fleet readiness
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)Ticonderoga-class cruisers face significant readiness problems stemming from widespread corrosion of an aging hull. This corrosion severely impacts shipboard safety and operational readiness when it compromises the integrity ... -
Fuel targeting and thermal environment effects onf spark-ignition engine mixture preparation process
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000) -
Fuel volatility modeling
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994) -
Fuel-cell propulsion for small manned submersibles.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1979) -
Fuel-conserving environmental control strategies for small Islanded microgrids
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)In this thesis I designed and deployed a control system that subjects Environmental Control Units (ECUs) at U.S. Army Forward Operating Bases (FOBs) to centralized control, and demonstrated how intelligent operation of the ...
