(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)An experimental study was performed to determine thermal performance and adhesion effects of a combined nanoparticle and polymeric dispersion coating. The critical heat flux (CHF) values and nucleate boiling heat transfer ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)The goals of this research were to determine: 1) the effect of continuous irradiation on Chinese Hamster Ovary cells, CHO-K1 (wild type) and xrs-6 cells (mutant), and 2) the effect of continuous irradiation under low (5%) ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)The effect of sulfur on the corrosion fatigue crack growth of austenitic stainless steel was evaluated under Light Water Reactor (LWR) conditions of 288°C deaerated (less than 5ppb O₂) water, to shed light on the accelerating ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)The primary objective of this thesis was to validate the sustained counter air diffusion (SCAD) method at preventing natural circulation onset in diffusion dominated air ingress accidents. The analysis presented in this ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)In most tokamak fusion reactor designs, ICRF (Ion Cyclotron Range of Frequencies) and LH (Lower Hybrid) radio frequency (RF) waves used to heat the plasma and drive current are launched from the low-field, outboard side ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Abstract Advanced Zirconium based alloys used in the nuclear industry today, such as ZIRLOTM , M5 contain up to wt 1.2% Niobium [8]. Experimental effort to determine the effect of Nb on corrosion behaviour of these alloys ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1966)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Used nuclear fuel dry storage canisters will likely be tasked with holding used nuclear fuel for a period longer than originally intended. Originally designed for 20 years, the storage time will likely approach 100 years. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1965)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The bystander effect is seen when irradiated cells release a factor that can produce damage or death in neighboring "bystander" cells that are not actually hit by any radiation. One proposed mechanism involves the irradiated ...
-
The effect of thermal aging and boiling water reactor environment on Type 316L stainless steel welds (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The thermal aging and consequent embrittlement of materials are ongoing issues in cast stainless steels and duplex stainless steels. Spinodal decomposition is largely responsible for the well known "475°C" embrittlement ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1984)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The high power densities and temperatures expected for next generation nuclear applications, including power generation and transmutation systems, will require new types of heat transport systems to be economic. Present ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1987)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Motivated by the electron cyclotron heating being employed on dipole experiments, the effects of a hot species on stability in closed magnetic field line geometry are investigated. The interchange stability of a plasma ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Lymphatic vessels play a crucial role in both the pathophysiology of tumors and in the spread cancer cells to lymph nodes. The effects of radiation on these vessels, however, are largely unknown. Here, we seek to describe ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1992)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1991)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The effects of orientation angle, subcooling, heat flux, mass flux, and pressure on bubble growth and detachment in subcooled flow boiling were studied using a high-speed video camera in conjunction with a two-phase flow ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Nanofluids, engineered colloidal dispersions of nanoparticles in fluid, have been shown to enhance pool and flow boiling CHF. The CHF enhancement was due to nanoparticle deposited on the heater surface, which was verified ...
