(University of Pretoria, 2015)This document focuses on the procedure and results of creating a thermohydraulic model of the secondary cooling system of the SAFARI-1 research reactor at the Pelindaba facility of the South African Nuclear Energy Corporation ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2016)The ability of coated particles of enriched uranium dioxide (UO2) fuel to withstand high temperatures and contain the fission products in the case of a loss of cooling event is a vital passive safety measure over traditional ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2015)The favourable physical and mechanical properties of silicon carbide (SiC) nanopowders allow application across many areas, including high-power, high-frequency electronics and high-temperature technologies. Many different ...
-
Nanofluid Thermal Conductivity - a thermo-mechanical, chemical structure and computational approach (University of Pretoria, 2015)Multiple papers have been published which attempt to predict the thermal conductivity or thermal diffusivity of graphite “nanofluids” 1–6. In each of the papers empirical methods (with no consideration of quantum mechanical ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2015)The use of nanofluids in buoyancy-driven heat transfer can be very useful in enhancing the performance of various heat transfer applications. In this thesis, natural convection by multiwalled- carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2016)The inception of this study lies in mankind's need for energy in order to drive commerce, industry and development. Although several sources have been exploited in the production of energy, it is the personal opinion of ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2019)In a worldwide pursuit for more Accident Tolerant nuclear Fuel (ATF), the quest to obtain and certify alternative nuclear fuel cladding tubes for light-water nuclear power reactors is still a key challenge. One of the ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2017)Modern nuclear reactors still use Zirconium-4 Alloy (Zircaloy®) as the cladding material for fuel elements. A substantial amount of research has been done to investigate the boiling heat transfer behind the cooling mechanism ...
