Pretreatment effects on hydration behaviour of cement bonded boards made from Eremospatha macrocarpa and laccosperma secondiflorum canes

ABSTRACT The effects of pre treatments on the setting time, maximum hydration and time ratio of two rattan species particles mixed with portland cement were investigated.

Developing an Improved Heat Transfer Correlation for Applications in SCWR

ABSTRACT This thesis work seeks to complement ongoing research works on heat transfer from heated surface to supercritical water in the SCWR. The study was inspired by ongoing efforts directed at obtaining a correlation that predict supercritical-water heat transfer more accurately, especially with the identification of the SCWR concept as one of the six Generation IV nuclear reactors. The thesis focuses on the development of an improved heat transfer correlation for supercritical water flowi...
