3D SIMULATION OF A LOSS OF VACUUM ACCIDENT (LOVA) IN ITER (INTERNATIONAL THERMONUCLEAR EXPERIMENTAL REACTOR): EVALUATION OF STATIC PRESSURE, MACH NUMBER, AND FRICTION VELOCITY

3D Simulation of a Loss of Vacuum Accident (LOVA) in ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor): Evaluation of Static Pressure, Mach Number, and Friction Velocity

ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) is a magnetically confined plasma nuclear reactor.Inside it, due to plasma disruptions, the formation of neutron-activated powders, which are essentially made out of tungsten and beryllium, occurs.As many windows for diagnostics are present on the reactor, which here operates at very low press

A Solar Thermal Application for Mongolian Detached Houses: An Energy, Environmental, and Economic Analysis Based on Dynamic Simulations

Ulaanbaatar (Mongolia) is the coldest capital city in the world with approximately 98% of its heating demand satisfied by means of coal-burning stoves.This leads to enormous air pollutant emissions, with Ulaanbaatar being one of the top five most polluted cities in the world.In this study, an innovative solar hybrid heating system for the Mongolian
