Abstract:

The figure of the dragon represents a topic of shared interest among medievalists and modern readers young and old. The dragon is simply ‘in’ and has always appealed to public culture throughout time and also across the world. Many medieval heroic poems, many modern narratives, films, images, and other art works are deeply determined by the appearance of dragons, mostly fearsome, terrifying, alienating creatures, unless we turn to some East-Asian cultures. Dragons have been studied already for a long time, and Martin Arnold simply adds here another, well researched monograph on this topic, which covers it very broadly, although much more could be said, of course, about individual texts or art works not dealt with here. It is not easy to come to terms with dragons because they are so ubiquitous and yet refuse easy answers. They belong to the corpus of archetypal images, but there is no hard-core scientific evidence for their existence.

Abstract:

Dragons, being imaginary creatures, escape the umbra of extinction shadowing multiple species on earth today. We can trace their lineage from Homer (at least in the European tradition) to the personal mount of of Daenerys Targaryen, Drogon, in Game of Thrones; or, from Beowulf to J. R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit. Because they are textual creatures, dragons display a re-silience and capacity to mutate that makes them eloquent ontological signifiers in mythic narratives, as motifs of epistemological uncertainty in folklore and cultural memory, and as embodiments of extra-human/pre-modern intrusions in the workings of history. Whereas Chinese dragons are often beneficial to the human species, European variants (including those found in Celtic folklore) are not. Dragons spell death and destruction; they demand human sacrifices, as in the legend of St. George. Their appearance suggests power and menace of extraordinary dimensions, as in Lewis Carroll’s Jabberwock. (The Jabber-wock was first illustrated by John Tenniel in 1871 as a dragon, and the tradition continues well into the present day, in Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, for example.) Dragons collude with destructive forces; their power to annihilate everything that stands for “human” is unwittingly referred to in Kanye West’s words above.2 I suggest in this essay that the image of the dragon offers us a portal into the highly ornate symbolic structures of W. B. Yeats’s historiography and his vision of the apocalyptic.

Abstract:

Abstract This article examines British masculinity in Kenya. It focuses on British expatriate Sydney Walker, the protagonist of Yusuf Dawood's One Life Too Many, who moves to Kenya at the height of British colonial rule and stays on in the new postcolonial state under black rule. It looks at how he constructs his masculinity among fellow men and in relation to the female other. Walker struggles to retain the colonial masculinity of his predecessors amid shifting terrain. Using the key concepts of hegemonic and subordinate masculinities as presented in Raewyn Connell's masculinity theory, which argues that gendered relationships in institutions are controlled by power, this article examines the diverse masculinities in One Life Too Many and argues that sex plays a major role as an instrument of power that heterosexual men use to dominate other men and subordinate women. It contends that the power dynamics in the sexual arena symbolically represent the shifting power relations in the postcolonial Kenyan state, in which the status of British working-class men had changed due to their loss of political power.

Abstract:

"Dragon" is an important design theme and image, to be applied in many design fields, so summing up and interpreting relevant issue of dragon connotation can help better application of dragon image in design. This paper tries to expound dragon iconography, archetype and symbolical meanings in terms of etymology, document research and Jung’s psychology theories. In the light of both objective and subjective meanings this paper regards that the essence of dragon which is mythological being in human subconscious imagination symbolizes and integrates the various great power of nature.

Abstract:

Background : There are few studies that consider the effect of high doses of caffeine on aerobic power (VO2max). Also, to date, no study examined the effect of coffee intake on dragon boat paddler specifically on women. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of espresso coffee on improvement of aerobic power of dragon boat paddler. Material : Twenty women athletes of Guilan dragon bout team members of Malavan club of port city of Anzali (mean ±SD age, 23.60± 3.49 years; BMI,23.77±1.88kg/m2; body fat, 30.32±4.65%) were recruited to this study, after they completed a primary test without consuming any coffee, they consumed 6mg/kg of coffee (espresso or decaffeinated) and following that they completed two experimental trials. A randomized, double-blind, repeated-measures, design was employed whereby paddlers complete a 2000m paddling dragon boat ergo-meter. Results : Coffee could improve VO2max (Without coffee =74.40± QUOTE 4.99, Espresso coffee =90.10± QUOTE 6.19, Decaffeinated coffee =91.00± QUOTE 5.67, P≤ QUOTE 0.05). VO2max amount after exercise were significantly higher for both espresso coffee and decaffeinated coffee, when compared with without coffee condition. No significant differences were observed between espresso coffee and decaffeinated coffee (P≤ QUOTE 0.05). Conclusion : The present study shows that both high doses of caffeine (espresso coffee) and decaffeinated coffee can enhance VO2max during aerobic exercise including 2000m dragon boat paddling. It seems that some compounds except caffeine in decaffeinated coffee can act improve VO2max. Further studies needed for considering the effect of high doses of coffee on endurance exercises. Also in other age ranges of women athletes and other sport athletes.

Abstract:

AbstractIt is the purpose of this paper to interpret the legend of St. George and the Dragon in terms of alchemical symbolism. While the victory of the Christian hero over the Dragon is traditionally interpreted as symbolic of the triumph of good over evil, it is argued that both combatants represent the four alchemical elements: air, water, earth and fire. Instead of a duel of opposites their combat transmutes the coiled-up energy of the dragon into solar light, which manifests as the beautiful princess of the myth. The conclusion is drawn that there is a dialectical movement of force in the battle between St. George and the dragon. The hero releases the antithetical power of the dense, dark matter symbolised by the dragon so that the elements of a polarity do not remain contrasted but are resolved creatively.

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of extraction methods on antioxidant capacities of red dragon fruit peel and flesh. Antioxidant capacities were measured using ethylenebenzothiozoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) radical cation assay and ferric reducing antioxidant power assay (FRAP). Total phenolic content (TPC) was determined using Folin-Ciocalteu reagent while quantitative determination of total flavonoid content (TFC) was conducted using aluminium trichloride colorimetric method. Betacyanin content (BC) was measured by spectrophotometer. Red dragon fruit was extracted using conventional (CV) and ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UE) technique to determine the most efficient way of extracting its antioxidant components. Results indicated that UE increased TFC, reduced the extraction yield, BC, and TPC, but exhibited the strongest scavenging activity for the peel of red dragon fruit. In contrast, UE reduced BC, TFC, and scavenging activity but increased the yield for the flesh. Nonetheless, UE slightly increases TPC in flesh. Scavenging activity and reducing power were highly correlated with phenolic and flavonoid compounds. Conversely, the scavenging activity and reducing power were weakly correlated with betacyanin content. This work gives scientific evidences for the consideration of the type of extraction techniques for the peel and flesh of red dragon fruit in applied research and food industry.

Abstract:

This paper considers the efforts of the Russian government to counter the growth of China’s soft power in the Russian Far East in the context of the dramatic rise in trade between the two nations in the 15 years of the “Putin Era,” from 2000 to 2015. The Amur (or “Black Dragon”) River watershed forms the core of the Russian Far East, Russia’s last territorial acquisition from the former Chinese empire and the key to Moscow’s efforts to connect with the burgeoning Asia-Pacific economies. This study investigates which federal- and provincial-level policies the Russian government has implemented to counter the growth of Beijing’s influence in the Russian Far East, and analyzes the effectiveness of these policies in the area’s three most populous sub-regions: Amur Oblast, Khabarovsk Krai, and Primorsky Krai. Though initially hypothesizing that the Russian government had no coordinated strategy to counter China’s soft power in the region, this study concluded that policymakers in both the Kremlin and the Russian Far East have successfully discouraged a large-scale Chinese demographic or economic footprint along the Russian side of the Amur. However, Moscow’s failure to both encourage sufficient ethnic Russian immigration to the Far East and to effectively stimulate local economies in need of Chinese labor and investment has paradoxically strengthened Beijing’s regional soft power. Russia’s citizens in the Far East increasingly look south across the Black Dragon River towards China for a brighter future.

Abstract:

The ancient Chinese I Ching, the Book of Changes, and the philosophy of the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) both assert that the universe exists in a state of change. The I Ching, originally a book of divination, illustrates the changing phenomena of the natural world in terms of sixty-four hexagrams, which are figures composed of six lines  yielding and firm lines, representing actual conditions and relationships existing in the world and caused by the interplay between two primordial forces, yin and yang. The I Ching shows that on the macro level the Tao works in the universe, in heaven and on earth, and on the micro level it applies to man. The I Ching teaches harmony with Tao and its power (natural law and moral law), so that its reader may take appropriate action in any given situation with reference to the hexagrams and their appended judgments as revealed by the oracle. Nietzsche, however, regards the world as the Will to Power, ‘a monster of energy’, like a storming and flooding ocean eternally changing, where harmony and order seems impossible. His mouthpiece, Zarathustra, who teaches the Übermensch, encourages a war-like attitude towards life. Zarathustra’s second metamorphosis of an evolving spirit, the warrior lion, marks the difference between the Nietzschean Übermensch and the Chinese sage who attains harmony and balance within and without, a mysterious union with heaven. Zarathustra’s third metamorphosis, a playing child, creates itself as its own ‘bridge’ through a process of self-overcoming, whereas the I Ching indicates order to be the ‘bridge’ over chaos, the order of the human world being expressed in the five cardinal relationships. Whereas the I Ching advises its reader to follow their own nature and fate in order to lead a harmonious moral life, Nietzsche’s Übermensch is ‘the annihilator of morality’ and paradoxically ‘the designation of a type of supreme achievement’ (EH Books 1). With his idea of the Übermensch, Nietzsche indicates that morality is a pose (BGE 216). He seeks to make us become aware that we should invent our own virtue and create our own way in order to become what we are. He criticizes Christian morality, calling himself ‘the first immoralist’. His shocking approach attempts to make us become aware of the possibility that a ‘noble morality’ and ‘higher moralities’ ought to be possible. His Übermensch represents such a higher mode of existence. Zarathustra also teaches the doctrine of eternal recurrence, implying that moment is eternity, changelessness within change. Multifarious manifestations are the expression of the Tao. Everything is interconnected and interdependent. Whereas ordinary men see the continuity of phenomena as real, enlightened beings are aware of the transitory and illusive nature of the self and all things. The Nietzschean Übermensch embodies the characteristics of an enlightened being, a Buddha or Bodhisattva in Buddhist terms, characteristics such as wisdom and compassion. Therefore, the practice of the Bodhisattva is explored as a feasible way for actualizing the Nietzschean hypothetical Übermensch.

Abstract:

The aim of this study is focus on China’s activities/policies in oil trade and security for keeping its own development. In this study, we try to analyze China’s activities and policies in oil trading through liberalism and realism, and to show out how China acted in global market related to oil consumption, production and trade in order to satisfy China’s oil requirements. In international political theories, the concept of realism and liberalism are almost completely opposite. The cases of activities and relevant data which we selected with China on oil trade are picked and analyzed by historical analysis and quantitative researches. That can ensure the credibility, applicability and correctness of data. After analysis, the findings show that Chinese central government guide by realism more than liberalism when it process the issues with oil trade. China considers from the perspective of their own interests and focus on how to maximize their own interest. From the surface, the partners of China also received interests, but the main target of China is ensure the security of the oil, and maintain the stability of the domestic energy consumption.

Busquei na presente dissertação compreender o fazer e o desfazer do gênero de drag queens de Belo Horizonte, utilizando especialmente as obras de Judith Butler (2003, 1993, 1997, 2004). O referencial teórico foi estruturado com base na discussão sobre o gênero em uma visão não essencialista, considerando-o como um fazer, e não uma propriedade dos sujeitos; e as críticas ao binarismo de gênero; e na problematização da questão transgender, sem a pretensão de esgotá-la, dada sua complexidade. Abordo também o fazer e o desfazer do gênero com apoio principalmente em Judith Butler, autores organizacionais e das ciências sociais; a hetero(norma) e a (des)identificação, com foco nas reflexões de Butler sobre o sujeito relacionado diretamente com as normas sociais, tendo em vista que as identificações nunca são completas, possibilitando diferenciações e subversões; a performatividade, a paródia e a performance de gênero, diferenciando-as e reconhecendo a performatividade imbricada com a reiteração das normas discursivas; uma breve introdução sobre o mundo dxs drags, especialmente, com foco nos estudos brasileiros. Destarte, realizei uma pesquisa qualitativa, com uma epistemologia pós-estruturalista, por meio narrativas de biográficas de dez drag queens, com inspiração na análise crítica do discurso de Fairclough (2003, 2008). A análise foi pensada a partir da obra e dos conceitos de Judith Butler tendo as seguintes categorias: Performances que contém as subcategorias sobre performances, produções e cachês, performances com o público "hétero" e "LGBTIQ", performances e sentimentos, e humor; As relações entre drags: famílias, "amigxs", "colegas" e jogos de poder; Em busca de reconhecimento para x drag queen; (Des)Identificações; e Fazendo e desfazendo gênero. Por fim, as considerações remetem à complexidade e ambivalência dessa temática nas identificações, fazeres, desfazeres e contingencialidade do gênero. Também, pensou-se na possibilidade de uma relação direta com estudos organizacionais críticos, tendo vista que a matriz heteronormativa habita a administração, mas não impede que criemos matrizes rivais.
I sought in this dissertation to understand the doing and undoing of the gender of drag queens from Belo Horizonte, using especially the works of Judith Butler (2003, 1993, 1997, 2004). The theory was structured discussing: the gender in a non-essentialist view, considering it as a doing and not a property of the subject, the criticis of the gender binary and questioning the transgender issue without intending to exhaust it given its complexity; doing and undoing the gender supporting me especially in Judith Butler, organizational and social sciences authors; (hetero) norm and the (dis) identification appropriating Butler's reflections on the subject related directly to social norms, given that the identifications are never complete, allowing differentiations and subversions; the performativity, parody and gender performance, differentiating them and recognizing the performativity imbricated with the reiteration of the discursive norms; a brief introduction to the world of drags especially focusing on Brazilian studies. Thus, I realized a qualitative research, with a poststructuralist epistemology through biographical narratives of ten drag queens, with inspiration in critical discourse analysis of Fairclough (2003, 2008). The analysis was designed from the work and concepts of Judith Butler and has the following categories: Performances that contains sub-categories: on performances, productions and caches, performances with the "straight" and "LGBTIQ" public, performances and feelings, and humor; The relationship among drags: family, "friends", "colleagues" and power games; Seeking recognition for x drag queen; Humor; (Dis) Identifications; Doing and undoing gender. Finally, considerations lead the complexity and ambivalence of this theme in the identifications, the doings, undoings and the contingentiality of the gender. Also thinking about the possibility of a direct relationship with critical organizational studies, having seen that the heteronormative matrix inhabits the administration, but does not prevent us to create rivals matrices.

Abstract:

Den här studien vill bidra med kunskap kring normkritisk pedagogik inom dramapedagogiken i Sverige. Det genom att belysa det svenska DRACON-projektet ur ett normkritiskt perspektiv. Det svenska DRACON-projektet är en del av det internationella DRACON-projektet vars övergripande syfte var att bygga en bro mellan drama och konflikthantering. I bakgrunden till den här studien beskrivs dramapedagogik, svensk dramaforskning och internationell dramaforskning utifrån kritiska teorier. Normkritisk pedagogik är en kritisk pedagogik som vänder blicken mot maktstrukturer och privilegier istället för att fokusera på minoriteter eller förtryckta grupper. I det teoretiska perspektivet förklaras och fördjupas begreppet normkritisk pedagogik utifrån feministisk teori, queerteori, postkolonial teori och kritiska vithetsstudier, funktionalitet, intersektionalitet och kritisk pedagogik. Syftet med den här undersökningen var att genom ett kritiskt makt- och identitetsperspektiv belysa det svenska DRACON-programmet. Det utifrån forskningsfrågorna: Vilka föreställningar om makt och identitet finns inbyggda det svenska DRACON-programmet? Hur förhåller sig dessa föreställningar till den normkritiska pedagogikens syn på makt och identitet? Studien genomfördes utifrån textanalys av boken DRACON i skolan. Analysen strukturerades med hjälp av en analysmall. Resultatet tyder på att DRACON-programmet i Sverige är inkluderande och försöker ta tillvara på alla deltagares erfarenheter. Samtidigt verkar programmet sakna ett ifrågasättande av kön och genus och fördjupade analyser kring makt. Spår av postkolonialism framträder i någon enstaka lek.
The general aim of this study is to contribute to the knowledge of, so called, norm-critical pedagogy (normkritisk pedagogik) as part of Drama in Education in Sweden. This through looking at the Swedish DRACON-project from a norm-critical point of view. The Swedish DRACON-project is a part of the international DRACON-project which aimed at building a bridge between drama in education and conflict management. Norm-critical pedagogy is a Scandinavian term for critical pedagogy that focuses on the structures of power and privilege, rather than the oppressed. The pedagogy is explained in this paper and has its roots in queer pedagogy, queer theory, feminist theory, postcolonial theory and intersectional perspectives. The aim of this study was to look at the Swedish DRACON-project from the critical point of view of power, privilege and identity. The study examines the following questions: What conceptions of power and identity can be found in the Swedish DRACON-program? How do these conceptions relate to norm-critical perspectives of power, privilege and identity? The examination is done through text analysis of the book DRACON i skolan(DRACON in school). The results indicate that the Swedish DRACON-project is inclusive and tries to seize the experiences of all participants. At the same time the project seems to lack the questioning of gender and the immersing of analyzing power structures.

Abstract:

Nonwetting surfaces including superhydrophobic (SHS) and liquid infused surfaces (SLIPS) exhibit diverse exceptional characteristics promoting numerous application opportunities. Engineered textured surfaces demonstrate multiple features including drag reduction, fouling reduction, corrosion resistance, anti-fogging, anti-icing, and condensation enhancement. Integrating these properties, nonwetting surfaces have shown significant potential in improving the efficiency of energy applications. The first part of the thesis work aims at developing a fundamental mathematical understanding of the wetting process on the solid surface followed by presenting fabrication methodologies specifically focused on metallic substrates. The second part of this thesis presents an exhaustive survey on recent advancements and researches about features of nonwetting surfaces that could be implemented in major industrial applications. To establish how realistically these features could enhance the real-life applications, the third part of this work investigates the dynamic performance and economic benefits of using textured surfaces fabricated using an electrodeposition process for condenser tubes in thermoelectric power plants. The textured surfaces are expected to provide enhanced performance by deterring fouling and promoting dropwise condensation of the steam on the shell side. Using a thermal resistance network of a shell and tube condenser, detailed parametric studies are carried out to investigate the effect of various design parameters on the annual condenser performance measured in terms of its electric energy output of a representative 550 MW coal-fired power plant. A cost modeling tool and a new Levelized cost of condenser (LCOC) metric have been developed to evaluate the economic and performance benefits of enhanced condenser designs. The LCOC is defined as the ratio of the lifetime cost of the condenser (and associated costs such as coating, operation and maintenance) to the total electric energy produced by the iv thermoelectric power plant. The physical model is coupled with a numerical optimization method to identify the optimal design and operating parameters of the textured tubes that minimizes LCOC. Altogether, the study presents the first effort to construct and analyze enhanced condenser design with textured tube surfaces on annual thermoelectric power plant performance and compares it against the baseline condenser design with plain tubes.
Master of Science
Liquid repellant surfaces have attracted lots of attention due to their numerous promising characteristics including promoting condensation, drag reduction, prohibiting fouling/deposition, corrosion, and fog/dew harvesting. These attributes have the potential to inspire a variety of applications for these surfaces in power plants, automotive and aviation industries, oils/organic solvents clean-up, fuel cells, solar panels, membrane distillation, stone/concrete protection, surgical fabrics, and biological applications, to name a few. Some of these applications have reached their potential for real-life implementation and more are still at the research phase needing more experimental and fundamental studies to get them ready. The first part of this study presents the fundamentals of the wetting process. Next, fabrication methods for metallic surfaces have been explored to identify the most scalable and cost-effective approaches which could be administered in large scale industrial applications. A comprehensive review of recent publications on features of nonwetting surfaces has been carried out and presented in the second part of this thesis. To establish how realistically these features could enhance the real-life applications of a thermo-economic a performance model is developed for a powerplant condenser in the third section. Through a simple and cost-effective electrodeposition process, the common condenser tubes are modified to achieve textured tubes with superhydrophobic properties. The influence of using textured tubes on the plant's performance and its economic benefits are investigated to predict the potential promises of nonwetting surfaces.

A conventionally designed radio frequency amplifier operated in its linear region exhibits low DC to RF conversion efficiency. Typically, for a power amplifier designed for digital modulation applications, the amplifier is operated “backed-off” from its P1dB point by a factor of 10 or -10 dB. The typical linear amplifier is biased for either Class A or Class A/B operation depending on the acceptable design trade-offs between efficiency and linearity between these two methods. A novel design approach to increasing the efficiency of a linear RF power amplifier using a modified Odd-Way Doherty technique is presented in this paper. The design was simulated, built and then tested. The design yields improvements in efficiency and linearity.

Abstract:

Abstract A long-reach articulated manipulator that can deploy various sensors in a large but confined workspace is urgently needed in decommissioning tasks at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Stations. The most critical problem involves managing the large gravitational torques acting on the manipulator’s joints. In previous studies, several prototype models were developed; however, they were extremely heavy and bulky. This paper presents fundamental ideas for creating a lightweight super long-reach articulated manipulator. First, a mechanical structure could be utilized to support gravity. Second, a vertical force could be generated to compensate for gravity. Third, a tendon-driven mechanism could be utilized because it permits the installation of heavy actuators on the base. The tendons can transmit the actuator power to each joint. Thus, the weight of the arm is significantly reduced. We have discussed the advantages and drawbacks of each recommendation based on the hardware prototyping.

Full text

Abstract:

SuperCritical Water-cooled nuclear Reactor (SCWR) is one of the six nuclear-reactor concepts being developed under the Generation IV International Forum (GIF) initiative. A generic 1200-MWel pressure-channel SCWR operates at a pressure of 25 MPa with coolant inlet and outlet temperatures of 350°C and 625°C, respectively. High coolant outlet temperature allows for high thermal efficiencies within the range of 45–50%. On the other hand, the high operating temperature of SCWR in turn results in high fuel centerline and sheath temperatures. Hence, it is necessary to determine a power distribution inside a core of a reactor in order to ensure that a fuel and a fuel-bundle design comply with their corresponding temperature limits. The main objective of this paper is to determine a power distribution inside the core of a generic SCWR by using a lattice code DRAGON and a diffusion code DONJON. As a result of these calculations, heat-flux profiles in all fuel channels were determined. Consequently, the heat-flux profile in a channel with the maximum thermal power was used as an input into a thermalhydraulic code, which was developed in MATLAB in order to calculate a fuel centerline temperature of UO2 and UC nuclear fuels and a sheath temperature of a new fuel-bundle design. Results of this analysis showed that the fuel centerline temperature of the UC fuel was significantly lower than that of the UO2. This paper also proposes four energy groups for further neutronic studies related to SCWRs.

Abstract:

Molten salt reactors (MSRs) have seen a marked resurgence of interest over the past few decades, highlighted by their inclusion as one of the six Generation IV reactor types. The MSRs are characterized by using the fluid-fuel, so that their technologies are fundamentally different from those used in the conventional solid-fuel reactors. In this paper, the attention is focused on the behaviors of a MSR in the presence of localized perturbations caused by fissile precipitates. A neutron kinetic model considering the fuel salt flow is established based on the neutron diffusion theory, which consists of two-group neutron diffusion equations for the fast and thermal neutron fluxes and six-group balance equations for delayed neutron precursors, and the group constants dependent on the temperature are calculated by the code DRAGON. In addition, the k-epsilon turbulent model is adopted to establish the flow and heat transfer. The thermo-hydraulic and neutronic models which are coupled through the temperature, heat source and velocity are coded in a program. The effects of the localized perturbation on the distributions of power, temperature, neutron fluxes and delayed neutron precursors are obtained and discussed in detail. The results provide some valuable information for the research and design of this new generation reactor.

Abstract:

SuperCritical Water-cooled nuclear Reactor (SCWR) designs are one of six nuclear-reactor concepts being developed under the Generation IV International Forum (GIF) initiative. A generic pressure-tube SCWR consists of distributed fuel channels with coolant inlet and outlet temperatures of 350 and 625°C at 25 MPa, respectively. Such reactor coolant outlet conditions allow for high thermal efficiencies of SCW Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) of about 45–50%. In addition to high thermal efficiencies, SCWR designs provide the means for co-generation of hydrogen through thermochemical processes such as the Cu–Cl cycle. The main objective of this paper is to determine the power distribution inside the core of an SCWR by using a lattice code - DRAGON and a diffusion code - DONJON. As a result of these calculations, heat-flux profiles in all fuel channels were determined. Consequently, the heat-flux profile in a channel with the maximum thermal power was used as an input into a thermal-hydraulic code, which was developed in MATLAB in order to calculate a fuel centerline temperature for UO2 and UC nuclear fuels. Results of an analysis showed that the fuel centerline temperature of UC was significantly lower than that of UO2. This paper also studies effects of energy groups on multi-group diffusion calculations and proposes nine energy groups for further neutronic studies related to SCWRs.

Abstract:

Gas cooled fast reactors are one of the Generation 4 nuclear power plants with hard neutron spectrum and high conversion ratio. In the study a long life Supercritical CO2 (S-CO2) cooled fast reactor core design with 300 MWth is presented. Physical calculation was carried out based on Dragon and CITATION, and thermal hydraulic analysis was performed based on the single channel code. The MOX fuel was utilized in the core design, and the tube-in-duct (TID) assembly was chosen for its excellent characteristics. According to the physical and thermal hydraulic coupling calculation, the reactor in the study can be operated with 300MWth for 20Ys without shuffling or refueling. Through the core life power peaking was kept relatively low, and the fuel temperature was kept below the 1800 degree centigrade.

Abstract:

This research utilizes Bayesian network to address a range of possible risks to the electrical power system and its interdependent networks (EIN) and offers possible options to mitigate the consequences of a disruption. The interdependent electrical infrastructure system in Washington, D.C. is used as a case study to quantify the resilience using the Bayesian network. Quantification of resilience is further analyzed based on different types of analysis such as forward propagation, backward propagation, sensitivity analysis, and information theory. The general insight drawn from these analyses indicate that reliability, backup power source, and resource restoration are the prime factors contributed towards enhancing the resilience of an interdependent electrical infrastructure system.

Full text

Abstract:

This paper presents advancements in a surrogate-based, rotor blade design optimization framework for improved helicopter performance. The framework builds on previous successes by allowing multiple airfoil sections to designed simultaneously to minimize required rotor power in multiple flight conditions. Rotor power in hover and forward flight, at advance ratio 𝜇 = 0.3, are used as objective functions in a multi-objective genetic algorithm. The framework is constructed using Galaxy Simulation Builder with optimization provided through integration with Dakota. Three independent airfoil sections are morphed using ParFoil and aerodynamic coefficients for the updated airfoil shapes (i.e., lift, drag, moment) are calculated using linear interpolation from a database generated using C81Gen/ARC2D. Final rotor performance is then calculated using RCAS. Several demonstrative optimization case studies were conducted using the UH-60A main rotor. The degrees of freedom for this case are limited to the airfoil camber, camber crest position, thickness, and thickness crest position for each of the sections. The results of the three-segment case study show improvements in rotor power of 4.3% and 0.8% in forward flight and hover, respectively. This configuration also yields greater reductions in rotor power for high advance ratios, e.g., 6.0% reduction at 𝜇 = 0.35, and 8.8% reduction at 𝜇 = 0.4.
