This paper reviews the smallness, modularity and reactor-design aspects of emerging small
modular reactors (SMRs). It is shown that small (whether in physical size or power level) …

A key challenge for engineers and scientists over the coming decades is to develop and
deploy power plants with sufficient capacity and flexibility to meet the growing demand for …

Nuclear energy can play a very significant long-term role for meeting the world's increasing
energy demands, while simultaneously addressing challenges associated with global …

The potential industrial applications of curved tubes for single-and two-phase flow are
reviewed within the context of physics of flow, trends in the development of technology, and …

In this paper the authors review 25 original Small and Medium sized Reactor designs
currently under development, licensing procedure or in operation. Technology overview …

The renewed interest towards nuclear energy is largely based on the escalation of fossil
fuels prices and the global warming concerns. The nuclear option has to face not only the …

Load following is the possibility for a power plant to adjust its power output according to the
demand and electricity price fluctuation throughout the day. In nuclear power plants, the …

Coal is the primary source of energy for most of the countries in the world. Although the main
use of coal is in the generation of electricity, recently synthesis of liquid fuel from coal is …

An experimental study was carried out to investigate the transition from laminar to turbulent
flow in helically coiled pipes. Twelve coils have been tested, with ratios of coil diameter to …

Abstract Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) have been historically deployed to cover the base-
load of the electricity demand. Nowadays some NPPs might perform daily load cycling …
