Theory And Model

Abstract Due to the circulating nature of the fuel, there is a qualitative difference between xenon behavior in a molten salt reactor (MSR) compared to a solid fuel reactor. Therefore, the equations that describe 135Xe behavior in a molten salt reactor must be formulated differently. Prior molten salt reactor xenon models have focused on behavior below a solubility limit in which the 135Xe is partially dissolved in the fuel salt. It is foreseeable that a molten salt reactor may operate with a concentration of gas dissolved in the salt sufficiently high such that no further gas may dissolve in the fuel salt. This paper introduces a theory of molten salt reactor xenon behavior for a reactor operating above the solubility limit. A model was developed based on this theory and analyses performed are discussed. Results indicate: (1) steady-state xenon poisoning is not monotonic with respect to gas egress rate, (2) a increase in gas ingress rate leads to a characteristic increase which is followed by a new steady-state in xenon poisoning, and (3) given a sufficient rate of gas egress, it is possible to remove the iodine pit behavior.

ABSTRACT Maintaining proper tire inflation is the number one issue facing commercial fleets today. Common, slow-leaking tread area punctures along with leaking valve stems and osmosis through the tire casing lead to tire underinflation with a subsequent loss in fuel economy, reduction in retreadability, tread wear loss, irregular wear, and increase in tire-related roadside service calls. Commercial truck tires are the highest maintenance cost for fleets second only to fuel. This article will examine tire footprint analysis, rolling resistance data, and the effect on vehicle fuel economy from tires run at a variety of underinflated, overinflated, and recommended tire pressures. This analysis will also include the tire footprint impact by running tires on both fully loaded and unloaded trailers. The footprint analysis addresses both standard dual tires (295/75R22.5) along with the newer increasingly popular wide-base tire size 445/50R22.5.
