Development And Validation Of A Cross Correlation Function Based Indirect Flow Measurement Technique, Xiong Gao
Development And Validation Of A Cross Correlation Function Based Indirect Flow Measurement Technique, Xiong Gao
Doctoral Dissertations
Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) require the accurate measurement of mass flow rates. Advanced flow meters have been invented and widely applied in several current industries; however, the operation environment in nuclear power plants is especially harsh due to high temperature, high radiation and extremely corrosive conditions.. Several of the advanced reactor designs, such as liquid sodium pool reactors and integral small modular reactors, do not have conventional primary piping systems. These designs necessitate alternative methods to accurately measure primary flow.
Cross Correlation Function (CCF) flow estimation, which was proposed in the 1980s, can estimate the flow velocity indirectly without any …

“Magnetic particles and droplets have been used in a wide range applications including biomedicine, biological analysis and chemical reaction. The manipulation of magnetic microparticles or microdroplets in microscale fluid environments is one of the most critical processes in the systems and platforms based on microfluidic technology. The conventional methods are based on magnetic forces to manipulate magnetic particles or droplets in a viscous fluid.
In contrast to conventional magnetic separation method, several recent experimental and theoretical studies have demonstrated a different way to manipulate magnetic non-spherical particles by using a uniform magnetic field in the microchannel. However, the fundamental mechanism …
