The intercooled cycle (IC) as an alternative to the simple cycle recuperated (SCR) and intercooled cycle recuperated (ICR) is yet to be fully analyzed for the purpose of assessing its viability for utilization within ...

As a nongreenhouse gas-emitting source, the benefits of nuclear as a main power-generation alternative are yet to be fully explored; part of the reason is due to the significant implementation costs. However, with cycle ...

An important requirement for Generation IV Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) design is the control system, which enables part power operability. The choices of control system methods must ensure variation of load without severe ...

Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) precooler coolant temperature is critical to performance because it impacts the work required to increase the coolant pressure. Variation of the coolant temperature results in varied precooler hot ...

Hydrogen is increasingly being viewed as a significant fuel for future industrial processes as it offers pathways to zero emission. The UK sees hydrogen as one of a handful of low-carbon solutions for transition to net ...

New aircraft require years of development from concept to realisation and can be prone to delays. Consequently, military operators take existing fleets and operate them in a different role. The objective of this study is ...

When selecting a design for an unmanned aerial vehicle, the choice of the propulsion system is vital in terms of mission requirements, sustainability, usability, noise, controllability, reliability and technology readiness ...

As demands for clean and sustainable energy renew interests in nuclear power to meet future energy demands, Generation IV nuclear reactors are seen as having the potential to provide the improvements required for nuclear ...

A significant hurdle in the development of performance simulation tools to analyse and evaluate nuclear power plants (NPP) is finding data relating to component performance maps. As a result, Engineers often rely on an ...

The use of an inventory control system offers a unique benefit of stable cycle thermal efficiency during part-load operation. This article focuses on the influence of initial inventory tank pressure on the control level ...
