Decoupling And Disturbance Rejection Control For Target Circulation Loop, Xiuju Tan
Decoupling And Disturbance Rejection Control For Target Circulation Loop, Xiuju Tan
Reactor Campaign (TRP)
The primary objective is to modify the existing control algorithm of the pilot target circuit (TC-1) loop to achieve precise temperature control. Safety concerns, the alarm system, and a user-friendly design are the secondary objectives.
The decoupling and active disturbance rejection controls are the effective control scheme in this special multivariable control process to TC-1 loop.
The research objectives are:
• To identify the interacting terms between heater inputs and target temperature outputs in each zone experimentally,
• To design of decoupling and active disturbance rejection control (ADRC),
• To monitor system through internet based remote monitoring, automatic alarming and …

Magnetohydrodynamic Simulation Of Electromagnetic Pump In Tc-1, Lillian J. Ratliff
Reactor Campaign (TRP)
The pilot molten lead-bismuth target circuit (TC-1) in university of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV) was designed for beam power of 1 MW accelerator driven system (ADS). The TC-1 is a liquid lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) circulation loop. Circulation of the liquid alloy is driven by an annular linear induction pump (ALIP). Experimental measurements of system parameters have yielded a surprisingly low pump efficiency of less than 1%. A numerical study of the pump efficiency is being conducted to determine which operational parameters are responsible for this low efficiency and to give insight into future EM pump design. The numerical study will …
