The retort batch furnace for the carbothermal synthesis of uranium and plutonium nitrides is a component of the mixed nitride uranium-plutonium (MNUP) fuel Fabrication/Refabrication Module (FRM), a part of the Pilot Demonstration Energy Complex (PDEC).A CFD model of the furnace was built in the SolidWorks Flow Simulation code to check the feasibili
The widespread use of plastics has led to their increasing presence in the environment and subsequent pollution.Some microorganisms degrade plastics in natural ecosystems and the associated metabolic pathways can be studied to understand the degradation mechanisms.Polystyrene (PS) is one of the more recalcitrant plastic polymers that is degraded by
Relaying napoleon concealer is one of the useful techniques to enhance wireless physical-layer security.Existing literature shows that employing full-duplex relay instead of conventional half-duplex relay improves secrecy capacity and secrecy outage probability, but this is at the price of sophisticated implementation.As an alternative, two-path su
The soft normally-open point (SNOP) is a multi-terminal power electronic device installed between two or more feeders in the low and medium voltage distribution network, which can adjust the active power and reactive power between the feeders.A small-signal model of SNOP connected to the distribution network is established.The model includes the li
