New thermal-hydraulic models have been implemented in the PARCS v2.5 core simulator to enable the simulation of heat transfer between the counter-flowing moderator and coolant in supercritical water reactors. The impact of this heat transfer on the performance of an individual assembly has been demonstrated. A quarter-core model has been simulated to demonstrate how this new capability can be used to identify hot channels in the core and to design different core configurations that may reduce the hot channel effects. Future developments will couple this core simulator capability to advanced thermal-hydraulic simulation capability for full core design and transient simulation.

Water at the supercritical state is a new process for the chemical recycling. At this thermodynamic state i.e. Pc = 218 atmospheres and Tc = 374oC , water behaves very differently from its everyday temperament and it is a very good solvent for organic components. Experimental studies show that supercritical water can decompose hydrocarbons/polymers and produce useful products like 2-Azacyclotridecanone /lactam-1 from Nylon-12 (batch process). The decomposition process itself was carried out in batch reaction system in order to get more information about product distributions, time dependence, and scale-up possibilities.Keywords: supercritical water, decomposition, batch, polymer, hydrocarbon

Increased concern regarding water quality impacts from combined sewer overflows (CSOs) in the U.S. and elsewhere has emphasized the role of computermodeling in analyzing CSO impacts and in planning abatement measures. These measures often involve the construction of very large and costly facilities, and computer simulation during plan development is essential to cost-effective facility sizing. An effective approach to CSO system modeling focuses on detailed hydraulic simulation of the interceptor sewers in conjunction with continuous simulation of the combined sewer system to characterize CSOs and explore storage-treatment tradeoffs in planning abatement facilities. Recent advances in microcomputer hardware and software have made possible a number of new techniques which facilitate the use of computer models in CSO abatement planning.

This paper presents a model for the hydraulic simulation of a drainage network using the storage concept. This model is easier to use than the complete Barre de Saint Venant equations and gives better results than the usual conceptual models, i.e. the Muskingum model, or than models obtained by the simplification of the Saint Venant equations (kinematic wave model and diffusion wave model).
