(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The main drawback to renewable energy systems is the higher cost of production compared to competitors such as fossil fuels. Thus, there is a need to increase the efficiency of renewable energy systems in an effort to make ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The effects on pool boiling characteristics such as critical heat flux and the heat transfer coefficient of different surface characteristics such as surface wettability, roughness, morphology, and porosity are not well ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Surface effects on pool boiling heat transfer and the critical heat flux are well documented but poorly understood. This study investigates the pool boiling characteristics of various fluids, and demonstrates that surface ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)The continuing increases in annual greenhouse gas emissions, in the absence of stringent mitigation measures, will produce a doubling of pre-industrial atmospheric concentrations in the second half of this century and a ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)A comparative analysis of nuclear fuel cycles was carried out. Fuel cycles reviewed include: once-through fuel cycles in LWRs, PHWRs, HTGRs, and fast gas cooled breed and burn reactors; single-pass recycle schemes: plutonium ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Climate change concerns and expensive oil call for a different mix of energy technologies. Nuclear and renewables attract attention because of their ability to produce electricity while cutting carbon emissions. However ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Emerging technologies in CO₂ air capture, high temperature electrolysis, microchannel catalytic conversion, and Generation IV reactor plant systems have the potential to create a shipboard liquid fuel production system ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1989)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Disposal of post-irradiation fuel from nuclear reactors has been an issue for the nuclear industry for many years. Most countries currently have no long-term disposal strategy in place. Therefore, the concept of an ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Quantification of human error probabilities (HEPs) for the purpose of human reliability assessment (HRA) is very complex. Because of this complexity, the state of the art includes a variety of HRA models, each with its own ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Recently, MIT's Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems developed a new high burnup annular fuel that features both internal and external cooling. Implementation of this fuel design in current pressurized water reactors ...
