(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Critical Heat Flux (CHF) is one of the primary design constraints in a nuclear reactor. Increasing the CHF of water can enhance the safety margins of the current fleet of Light Water Reactors (LWRs) and/or increase their ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Multipactor discharges are a resonant condition in which electrons impact a surface in phase with an alternating electric field. The discharge is sustained by electron multiplication from secondary emission. As motivation, ...

-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)Subcooled flow boiling of water was experimentally investigated using high-speed video (HSV), infrared (IR) thermography, and particle image velocimetry (PIV) to generate a unique database of synchronized data. HSV allowed ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)In this thesis we discuss measurements and modeling of minority heated fast-ion distributions in the Ion Cyclotron Range of Frequencies (ICRF) on the Alcator C-Mod tokamak. Analysis of fast-ions >100Te is important for ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)In a system in which metal corrosion is of concern to its long-term structural integrity, crevice corrosion can be a significant cause of damage. Small crevices in a metal exposed to a working fluid (such as a reactor's ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)In realistic reactor scenarios, high temIperature plasmas will be composed of not only the fusion reactants and products, but also inpurities introduced purposefully or uninitentionally from plasma facing materials. In ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Applications and experiments involving the hypervelocity deformation of solids are difficult to devise, implement, and occur on microsecond time scales. As a result, simulations play a large role in the study of hypervelocity ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)In the constant effort to increase efficiency, safety margins, and lower cost, a new breed of nuclear reactors, Generation IV, is being developed in which supercritical carbon dioxide (SCO₂) is a prime coolant candidate. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Solid state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) allows us to explore a large coherent spin system and provides an ideal test-bed for studying strongly interacting multiple-spin system in a large Hilbert space. In this thesis, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)A 1.7MV tandem accelerator was reconstructed and refurbished for this thesis and for surface science applications at the Cambridge laboratory for accelerator study of surfaces (CLASS). At CLASS, an external proton beam ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Many challenges exist when considering nuclear power to provide electricity for bases on the Moon or Mars, including launch safety, landing safety, deployment, control, and protecting the astronauts from radiation. Examples ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)This study investigated the growth of multilayers with depth-graded thicknesses and their performance as x- ray mirrors for the next generation of focusing telescopes. Different material combinations were studied for the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Fast ions generated from laser-plasma interactions (LPI) have been used to study inertial confinement fusion (ICF) implosions and laser-foil interactions. LPI, which vary in nature depending on the wavelength and intensity ...
