Mass Transfer Experiments for the Heat Load During In-Vessel Retention of Core Melt
Abstract We investigated the heat load imposed on the lower head of a reactor vessel by the natural convection of the oxide pool in a severe accident. Mass transfer experiments using a CuSO4–H2SO4 electroplating system were performed based on the...

Effect of oxygen on the microbial activities of thermophilic anaerobic biomass
Abstract Low oxygen levels (μgO2 L−1) in anaerobic reactors are quite common and no relevant consequences are expected. On the contrary, higher concentrations could affect the process. This work aimed to study the influence of...

A Reliable Modifier-Adaptation Strategy for Real-Time Optimization
Abstract In model-based real-time optimization, plant-model mismatch can be handled by applying bias- and gradient-corrections to the cost and constraint functions in an iterative optimization procedure. One of the major challenges in practice is...
