Waarom is een kerncentrale zo duur?
Een kerncentrale van de derde generatie van zo’n 1650 megawatt kost tussen de 10 en 14 miljard euro. Dit komt onder meer door de hoge veiligheidseisen. Ook is de bouwer van de kerncentrale verantwoordelijk voor het veilig opbergen van kernafval én het ontmantelen van de kerncentrale als die niet meer gebruikt wordt.
Waarom geen thorium reactor?
Rampen zoals die in Tsjernobyl en Fukushima zouden niet meer plaatsvinden als we overgaan op kernenergie uit thorium. Een meltdown is niet meer mogelijk, want het splijtbare materiaal is al gesmolten. En mocht de stroom uitvallen, dan stroomt het zout vanzelf in opslagreservoirs waar het kan afkoelen.
What is a travelling wave?
A travelling wave is a wave that advances in a particular direction, with the addition of retaining a \fxed shape. Moreover, a travelling wave is associated to having a constant velocity throughout its course of propagation. Such waves are observed in many areas of science, like in combustion, which may occur as a result of a chemical reaction [26].
What is a transient travelling wave?
Travelling Wave. Such type of wave occurs for a short duration (for a few microseconds) but cause a much disturbance in the line. The transient wave is set up in the transmission line mainly due to switching, faults and lightning. The travelling wave plays a major role in knowing the voltages and currents at all the points in the power system.
How to find the travelling wave front solution?
: (2.11) Finally, the travelling wave solution in u(x;t) is given by, u(x;t) = 1 1 + ex ct 2 (2.12) Figure 2.2: Travelling wave front solution with u l= 1;u r= 0;c=1 2 and = 0:5.
Do travelling wave solutions exist?
A phase plane analyses was conducted, where qualitative results were obtained. Finally, the existence of travelling wave solutions were comprehended, with the use of power series approximations. In the next chapter, we shall explore the dynamics associated with the FitzHugh-Nagumo equations. Chapter 4 FitzHugh-Nagumo Equation
