Nuclear Engineering TRIZ Cases
- OLIVIA Cycle: SMR-UCG Hydrogen Production for SOFC Power
This case replaces turbine conversion with SOFC electrochemistry, using SMR heat and UCG hydrogen while storing carbon underground.
- Active Magnetic Shielding for Spacecraft Radiation Protection
Electromagnetic coils create dynamic fields that redirect radiation in all directions, eliminating heavy passive shielding materials.
- Nuclear Reactor Heat Pumping for Hydroelectric Storage
Direct nuclear reactor heat drives water pumps to lift reservoir levels, decoupling steady-state generation from seasonal hydro flow constraints.
- Expandable Center Arrangement for Tubular Reactor Heat Transfer
A sliding cone assembly expands radially to press catalyst components against reactor walls.
