Aesthetic Values of the Surface-Driven Capillary Flow in SU-8 based Glass Microfluidic Devices
type: item
description: In this research paper, author has fabricated total 422 individual SU-8 based glass microfluidic devices by the maskless lithography, clamping, and diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating using his own hands-on completely. Also, total 422 individual Audio-Video- Interleave-Files as ‘FileName.avi’ related to these microfluidic devices have been recorded and analysed by the author completely. The influence of effective viscosity on the surface- driven capillary flow of aqueous microparticle suspensions has been experimentally investigated. Also, the effects of surface wettability, channel aspect ratio and centrifugal force on the surface-driven capillary flow of aqueous microparticle suspensions have been experimentally investigated. The aesthetic values of the surface-driven capillary flow in SU-8 based glass microfluidic devices have been pictorially expressed in this research paper by the suitable representative images captured using different optical instruments. According to the designs of the microchannels of this research paper, only streamline motion of working liquids in the surface-driven capillary flow is expected without any considerable turbulence by the principles of fluid mechanics. The experimental investigations of this research paper are a novel approach in the royal-world of science-and-technology. In future, the principles of microfluidics may be useful in the nuclear power plants having nuclear reactors based on the applications of nuclear science and nuclear engineering.

ESTIMATION OF AIRBORNE CONCENTRAION OF RADIONUCLIDES USING FUNDAMENTAL APPROACH
type: item
description: Most of the literature exists on the simulation of accidental release from chemical or nuclear plant. In this work we have carried out fundamental modelling of radioactive release under normal operating conditions. An attempt is made to estimate the airborne radionuclide concentration in the atmosphere from probable release from stack. The effect of release stack height and the radionuclide source strength on the airborne radionuclide concentration are studied. The location of maxima of airborne radionuclide concentration is investigated in this work. The released source strength was varied to study the impact on the radionuclide concentration profile. Study reveals with increase in source strength of radionuclide airborne concentration of radionuclide increases. It is observed from the study that for similar weather condition even though source strength was varied the concentration profiles remain same and only absolute value of maxima increases with source strength. The maximum airborne concentration of radionuclide was estimated 1.03E-01 Bq/m3 for 50 m high stack release considering radioactive release source strength of 1.807E-03 Bq/s.

Ghana’s Nuclear Power Option and Associated Safeguards Technique
type: item
description: The adequate supply of electricity is a pre-requisite for industrialization, sustainable development and a key policy agenda for national development. Economic consumption of electricity production would have to be augmented to satisfy Ghana’s high level of economic growth and social well-being in the future. In 2008, cabinet decision was taken to proceed with the nuclear power plant construction roadmap. As part of the preparations being made towards the implementation of the nuclear power project, interim assessment on the choice of reactor has been made based on, economics and technological aspects of safety. A light water reactor (LWR), preferably the pressurized water reactor (PWR) with capacity up to 1500 maximum, has been proposed to commence commercial operation by 2020. Ghana’s option for nuclear power in addition to the research reactor would expand the nuclear fuel cycle and give room for several nuclear material accounting procedures. Core conversion activities are underway to replace the highly enriched uranium (HEU) U235 with LEU of approximately, 13% enrichment. The general objective of this paper is to perform an assessment on available safeguards approaches and methods used to verify inventory and flow of nuclear material in accessible areas of Ghana’s new nuclear fuel cycle, with focus on the safeguards measures to be prepared by facility operator to successfully support nuclear material verification. The elements of facility design relevant to safeguards in consultation with the regulatory body, supplier/designer and the international atomic energy agency (IAEA) have also been addressed. Indications of material balance areas, key measurement points as well as safeguards strategies relevant to the IAEA are outlined. The assessment and suggestions discussed are anticipated to support safeguards measures that may be applied to Ghana’s first nuclear power plant’s construction and operation.

PBE-based Drop Dynamics Simulation in an Unbaffled Stirred Tank Reactor
type: item
description: The population balance equation (PBE)-based model describes the distribution of drop size with respective to its size. In this work, 30% TBP was dispersed in 4N nitric acid solution by turbine impeller. Drop-size distributions were measured with a 630 nm laser-based particle size analyzer. For daughter drop density function, a normal distribution function was considered. For breakage rate, Voigt model of Chen et al. was used in the simulation [1]. For coalescence, model of Coulaloglou and Tavlarides was used [2]. The population balance equation was solved and simulation results were compared with experimental results. It was observed that the breakage model of Chen et al. could reproduce the experimental results with good accuracy [1]. In this paper, detailed results of these investigations would be presented.

Parallel Genetic Algorithm for Fuel Bundle Burnup Optimization of Pressurized Heavy Water Reactor
type: item
description: In this study, parallel genetic algorithm (GA) was applied to solve an optimization problem of nuclear fuel management pertaining to a 220 MWe pressurized heavy water reactor (PHWR). The study aims at finding appropriate values of reference discharge burnups of two zones of the reactor core which gives maximum fuel economy, while satisfying operational and safety-related constraints. This is a multiobjective optimization problem with four objectives and four constraints. Penalty functions-based GA methodology was employed to convert the multi-objective optimization problem to an unconstrained optimization problem by defining a penalty function. Master–slave parallelization method was used to parallelize the GA in order to reduce the computational time by exploring the capabilities of high performance computing cluster. This approach used a single population and evaluation of the individuals of the population was carried out in parallel. In this study, we have run the parallel program by varying the number of CPU cores (processes) and obtained significant performance improvement.

Correlations for some Thermal Hydraulic Parameters for a Pressurized Water Reactor
type: item
description: Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) constitutes majority of nuclear power plants used worldwide because of its stability which enhances operability. However, the design and safe operation of the PWR is dependent on certain thermal hydraulic parameters such as friction factor and heat transfer. In this study, therefore the correlations for the calculation of the two important thermal hydraulic parameters are presented. Correlations used include: Dittus-Boelter and Chilton-Colburn for heat transfer, Blasius and Drew et al. for the friction factor. Microsoft Excel regression analysis and the solver tools were used to determine the various parameters for these correlations. The correlations are applicable within the range 2000 < Re < 5×106 and 0.5 < Pr < 2000 for the heat transfer and 3000 ≤ Re ≤ 3×105 for the friction factor. Experimental data obtained from literature were then used to validate the different correlation parameters. It was found that the lowest average and maximum percentage deviations for friction factor are: Blasius (0.38% and 0.74%) and Drew et al. (0.62% and 1.48%). For the heat transfer: Dittus-Boelter (less than 0.01%) and Chilton-Colburn (0.31% and 0.85%). Keywords: Friction factor, Heat transfer, Thermal hydraulic

Implication of Topological Quantum Field Theory for the Integrable Structure of Nuclei Pertaining to Anisotropic Nuclear Decay
type: item
description: In the present paper, the basic rules of AdS theory have been lent in order to comprehend the composite structure of the cosmic nuclei. Super Yang–Mills theory indirectly gives us an idea of nuclear decay as a result of change in the topology of the nuclear structure. The variation in topology changes the viscosity of the cosmic nuclei. Finally, using Sakai–Sugimoto model the nuclear decay is shown as a result of fluctuations in the values of cosmic parameters.

Estimation of PVT Properties and Vapor Pressure of CHON Based Extractants for Nuclear Solvent Extraction
type: item
description: CHON amides like N, N′-Di hexyl octanamide (DHOA) and N, N′-Di octyl hexanamide (DOHA) have been identified as the alternate extractants to TBP for nuclear solvent extraction. Critical properties of these amidic solvents are needed for the estimation of various physical properties. Currently, there is little information in the literature about critical properties for these solvents. For these two extractants, critical properties and boiling point were estimated using group contribution method. The predicted boiling point was verified using the experimentally measured flash point data. Vapor pressures of these amides were correlated with ‘Wagner vapor pressure equation’.

description: MCNPX code (Monte Carlo N–Particle code extended) is used to design Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) bundle model. This model is designed to study the effect of Gd2O3 on the reactivity effect of voiding, void coefficient, neutron flux and normalized power. The incorporation of Gd2O3 directly into the UO2 fuel is the most attractive process, because of its significant effect on the fuel life in the core of the reactor. The effect of axial fuel enrichment on the normalized power is analyzed. In this study, the influences of the burnable poisons on the main parameters of the reactor such as multiplication factor and burnup are investigated. Results are discussed to assess the effect of Gd2O3 on fuel cycle characteristics.

description: The project aims at analysing the flow through a PWR Nuclear Fuel Rod. In this analysis, fuel rod is simulated using ANSYSCFX 14. Fuel Rod is simulated along with the Spacer Grid. The project aims at studying the behaviour of nano fluids under laminar flow conditions and its application as Nuclear reactor coolants. The properties of two nano fluids have been studied-Al2O3 and CuO with water as base fluid. Their properties have been then compared with each other as well as under different conditions of flow and along the different regimes of flow. The nano particles are in the form of suspended metallic layer which when mixed with some percentage of water ensures ‘higher thermal conductivity’. Water acts as the base fluid. The Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model for nuclear reactor has been developed and different fluids have been tested for their performance under different conditions. We are focussed in exploring the nuclear applications of nano fluids in the following area of coolant for reactor in PWR, cooling reactor core during emergency of PWR and increase in conductivity of nano fluids with increase in concentration of nano fluids when mixed with coolant.

Radio-Assay of Plant Samples at the Proposed Nuclear Reactor Site in Geregu, North-Central Nigeria
type: item
description: Radio-assay of plant samples at the Geregu site, North-Central Nigeria, was evaluated to determine the radiological burden on the environment. Plant samples were collected from ten different locations on the site and the concentrations were measured using gamma spectroscopy. Radiological equivalent dose was estimated using standard analytical methods. The mean value for the external outdoor absorbed gamma dose rates due to terrestrial γ-rays from the nuclides Ra-226, Th-232 and K-40 at 1 m above the ground level was 46.64 nGyh-1.The mean annual effective dose equivalent(AEDE) (outdoor and indoor) were 51.70µSυy-1and 206.7970 µSυy-1, respectively. The excess lifetime cancer risk (ELCR) mean value was 0.18×10-3. All the plants have values of AEDE (outdoor and indoor) and ELCR that are lower than the standard United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) values.

Volumetric Properties of PEG-400 in FS-13 Diluent for 293.15 K to 343.15 K at 0.1 MPa
type: item
description: PEG-400 in FS-13 solvent was proposed for strontium extraction from spent fuel solution in back end of nuclear fuel cycles. Densities and viscosities of solutions of PEG-400 and FS-13 were not available in literature. Densities and viscosities of binary mixture of extractant PEG-400 in FS-13 diluent was measured from 293.15 to 323.15 K. The excess molar volume (VE) and excess Gibb’s free energy of activation (DGE) was evaluated from density measurements from 293.15 to 323.15 K.
