NEA irradiation system ready to deploy at MITR
A new irradiation experimental system is ready for deployment. The rig, which is the focus of In-Core Real-Time Mechanical Testing of Structural Materials (INCREASE-I), an OECD Nuclear Energy Agency project, will be used to conduct stress-relaxation tests of stainless steel at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Reactor (MITR), according to the OECD NEA.

The aim of this work is to obtain a multicomponent, numerically simplified and stable distillation model, with simultaneous correction of the temperature and flow-rate (liquid and vapour phases) profiles along the column. The proposed model should be considered as an introduction to the multicomponent distillation calculation via computer and not an alternative to the existing rigorous methods. In the model the compositions are evaluated by solving a system of linear equations, while the flow rates are calculated “explicity” by means of enthalpy balances. A few iterations are required to obtain the solution and the temperature profile.
