  3. 2. Friction and Wear Performance of Experimentally Developed Self-lubricating PPS/PTFE Composites

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Kimberly Rose Lagrama; [2019]
    Keywords : PPS; PTFE; self-lubricating composites;

    Abstract : Demanding applications, as well as the push to eliminate the need for fossil-fuel based lubricants, create the need for the development of high-performance polymers. Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) is an example of a high-performance polymer and has a high service temperature, good dimensional stability, and excellent chemical resistance. READ MORE

  5. 4. UO-2 vs MOX: Propagated nuclear data uncertainty with burnup using Fast Total Monte Carlo

    University essay from Tillämpad kärnfysik

    Author : Petter Helgesson; [2013]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Precise assessment of propagated nuclear data uncertainties in integral reactor quantities is necessary for the development of new reactors as well as for modified use, e.g. when replacing UO-2 fuel by MOX fuel in conventional thermal reactors. READ MORE

  6. 5. Residual Heat and Corrosion Processes in the ELECTRA-Reactor Concept

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemivetenskap (CHE)

    Author : Homan Moosavi Sigaroodi; [2012]
    Keywords : Residual heat; FeCrAl Corrosion; ELECTRA; Cladding Temperature;

    Abstract : ELECTRA is a Swedish training reactor concept that will use fourth generation nuclear reactor technology, and is cooled by natural circulation of liquid lead. During a fuel inspection the reactor vessel has to be emptied on metal coolant and the power must be shutoff, this can lead to a meltdown. READ MORE
