Three-dimensional magnetic domain imaging with polarized neutrons

Delmore, Alexandra R (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)

Application and fundamental understanding of magnetic materials requires knowledge of their properties and phase diagrams, which depend on the structure and dynamics of magnetic domains. Current techniques for studying ...
Induction heating of firebricks for the large-scale storage of nuclear and renewable energy

Ibekwe, Richard T (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)

The lack of low-cost, large-scale energy storage is one of the biggest obstacles to the ongoing transition from an energy market dominated by fossil fuels to one dominated by nuclear and renewable energy. Storing energy ...
Evaluation of an aluminum latent heat storage system for the fluoride-salt-cooled high-temperature reactor

Fears, Kendall A. (Kendall Alexander) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)

Latent heat energy storage (LHS) systems offer multiple advantages over sensible heat storage systems in terms of energy density, cost, and cycle efficiency. LHS systems use a phase change medium (PCM) that transfer heat ...
