Severe Accident Simulation of the Laguna Verde Nuclear Power Plant by Gilberto Espinosa-Paredes, Raúl Camargo-Camargo, Alejandro Nuñez-Carrera

“…The LVNPP model was developed using RELAP/SCDAPSIM code. The lack of cooling water after the LOCA gets to the LVNPP to melting of the core that exceeds the design basis of the nuclear power plant (NPP) sufficiently to cause failure of structures, materials, and systems that are needed to ensure proper cooling of the reactor core by normal means. …”

Efficiency of lithium bromide absorption chiller with multi-stage absorption and generation processes with associated mass flow by O. S. Malinina, A. V. Baranenko, M. A. Al-Furaiji, E. E. Lydova, K. A. Komarov

“…A comparative analysis of the cycle understudy with the sample cycle (one-stage cycle) LBWAC is carried out. Despite the lower values of the coefficient of performance (COP), the cycle under study provides a doubling of the cooling capacity of the machine, at the same flow rate of the heating source, which is an advantage when the flow rate of the heating source is limited. …”

Effects of Thermodynamics on the Concurrent Accretion and Migration of Gas Giants in Protoplanetary Disks by Hening Wu, Ya-Ping Li

“…The thermodynamics effect is modeled with a thermal relaxation timescale using a <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi>β</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula>-cooling prescription. Our results indicate that radiative cooling has a substantial effect on the accretion and migration processes of the planet. …”

Residual Strain Monitoring and Dynamic Characteristics of Hybrid Hollow Square Tube with Metal–FRP–Metal Sandwich Walls by Zhao Li, Mingyao Liu, Jintao Wang, Wei Ke

“…The results showed that the damping of the hybrid HST is 586% higher than that of the steel HST, while the hybrid HST has a lower first natural frequency (4.6% reduction) and mass (15.9% weight reduction). The influence of co-cure temperature and cooling rate on the size and state of the residual strains is analyzed, which might be helpful to guide the manufacturing of sandwich structures in machine tools. …”

Effect of adding concentrated myofibrillar proteins of silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) on the qualitative and nutritional characteristics of pasta by Mahsa Karami Charvadeh, Eshagh Zakipour Rahimabadi, Parva Safari

“…In addition, the swelling index showed an increasing trend, displaying the effect of concentrated myofibrillar protein on the elevated water absorption rate and water retention capacity during the cooking processes. Conclusion: Given the results of sensory analysis with chemical characteristics and quality characteristics of cooking the pasta, it can be concluded that enrichment with up to 10% concentrated myofibrillar fish proteins makes no difference compared to the control group, while enhancing the desired characteristics of the final product.…”
