"Experimental performance evaluation and model-based optimal design of " by Chao Hou, Wenye Lin et al.
High-security and cost-effective disposal of radioactive wastewater plays a significant role in the wide deployment of nuclear energy. This paper presents an experimental study to investigate the feasibility of using mechanical vapour recompression systems for radioactive wastewater treatment, and a model-based design optimisation to maximise its economic benefits. A lab-scale mechanical vapour recompression system was established to experimentally assess its performance in terms of decontamination effect, energy efficiency, and exergy destruction. Based on the understanding of system performa...
