Abstract In 1929, Donald Othmer discovered that a small amount of non-condensable gases
(NCG) in pure vapor had a great effect on condensation heat transfer coefficient (HTC) …

Nuclear Systems, Volume I: Thermal Hydraulic Fundamentals, Third Edition, provides an in-
depth introduction to nuclear power, focusing on thermal hydraulic design and analysis of …

In the last two decades condensation on the containment structures in presence of
noncondensables has received substantial attention by nuclear scientists and engineers …

In turbulent condensation with noncondensable gas, a thin noncondensable layer
accumulates and generates a diffusional resistance to condensation and sensible heat …

This research investigates experimentally local heat transfer from condensation in the
presence of noncondensable gases inside a vertical tube. Using a novel experimental …

Steam condensation plays a key role in removing heat from the atmosphere of the
Westinghouse AP600 containment in case of a postulated accident. A model of steam …

The small modular reactor (SMR) is a promising option with added safety features,
economical manufacturing, reliable parts, portability, and scalable energy capacity that emits …

Occurrence of severe accidents, such as the Fukushima incident in 2011, is unlikely with a
