Design Scope

The goal of this thesis is to present a design for a workable gas-cooled, direct Brayton cycle reactor that could generate 50-100 kWe. The design has not been optimized, but some sensitivity studies were done. The goals were as follow  

For purposes of limiting the scope of the thesis, the reactor will use a directly coupled closed Brayton cycle for power conversion and will use highly enriched Uranium Nitride fuel. The sections of the thesis will be  

This section covers several topics the history of the important components for the reactor, how these components work, and why these components were chosen. The primary motivation was to design a functional reactor not to explore all the myriad of possibilities that exist. This meant that not all the alternatives for any given component would be examined, just ones that appeared to fulfill the desired goals. As a result several simplifications were implemented for this thesis to reduce the scope.

Subsequent modification of the branching units in the interior of a dendrimer framework has so far received comparatively tittle attention. From a synthetic standpoint, however, this strategy offers significantly more design scope than its counterpart. Thus dendrimers also become accessible whose branching units are hard to synthesise or are either not sufficiently reactive or too sensitive to be used in iterative dendrimer synthesis. However, restricted accessibility of internal groups compared to peripheral functionalities can prove problematic.
