Modeling, Optimal Control and HVAC Design of Large Buildings using Ground Source Heat Pump Systems KU Leuven
Since May 2010, the directive 2010/31/EU of the European Parliament compels its Member States to drastically decrease the energy use of buildings, to increase their energy efficiency and to increase the relative amount of renewable energy they use. One of the technologies recommended by the directive is the heat pump which efficiently uses electricity to extract thermal energy from a heat or cold source. In this work, buildings equipped with ...
The Analysis of Thermal Hydraulic Phenomena in the MYRRHA Heavy Liquid-Metal Pool-type Reactor in Forced and Natural Circulation KU Leuven
SCKā¢CEN, the Belgian Nuclear Research Centre, is at the forefront of Heavy Liquid Metal nuclear technology worldwide with the development of the MYRRHA Accelerator Driven System. MYRRHA is an innovative flexible fast-spectrum pool-type research reactor cooled by Lead Bismuth Eutectic.
The use of passive systems to achieve safety functions is one of the guiding principles of the MYRRHA design and safety approach. Natural circulation in ...
