Heat transfer in the piping system will result in pattern and magnitude of the natural circulation flow being formed, so it is essential to investigate the heat dissipation capabilities, which will later be applied in nuclear passive cooling systems. The heat transfer behavior of passive cooling systems in large-scale facilities can be quantified with non-dimensional numbers. This research analyzes heat transfer in a straight heat exchanger by comparing non-dimensional numbers based on the Dittus-Boetler and McAdams correlation with the correlation generated from experimental data. The analysis results show that the predicted McAdams correlation with the experimental correlation is higher than 83 %. Meanwhile, Dittus Boetler's correlation prediction with the experimental correlation is smaller than 71 %. The dominance of momentum diffusivity in the cooling process shows the characteristics of thermal behavior with the Prandtl number. In addition, all-natural circulation flow variations occur in a turbulent flow regime that increases with increasing water temperature in the heating tank.","PeriodicalId":8647,"journal":{"name":"Atom Indonesia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141924976","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to evaluate tumor control probability (TCP) and normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) of three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3DCRT) and intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) treatment planning in post-mastectomy breast cancer radiation therapy. Twenty clinical breast cancer treatment plans delivered using 3DCRT were evaluated retrospectively. The IMRT plans were created for the same patients. The dose-volume histograms of each plan were extracted from the Treatment Planning System (TPS) computer which were then used to compute the TCP and NTCP for each plan. The TCP was calculated using the Poisson model and the NTCP was calculated using the Lyman-Kutcher-Burman (LKB) model. The NTCP was calculated for normal lung tissue, heart, esophagus, and spinal cord. The results show that the TCP of the 3DCRT and IMRT plans are not significantly different, with a value of above 99 %. The NTCP of the left lung is lower in the IMRT plans while the NTCP of the esophagus is lower in the 3DCRT plans.

CBCs mesoporous silica samples were prepared by mixing the Pluronic F-127 as a template and TEOS (Tetraethyl Orthosilicate) as silica sources in the sol-gel process under acidic conditions. The obtained CBCs were treated using nitrogen plasma at room temperature (RT) under atmospheric pressure in a customized-borosilicate plasma reactor. Subsequently, the treated CBSs were grafted with amine groups. The final samples were characterized using SAXS (Small Angle Synchrotron X-ray Scattering) to determine the phase and structure, SEM-EDS (Scanning Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy) analysis to quantify the presence of silica, oxygen, and embedded nitrogen, and Specific Surface Area (SSA) Analyzer using Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method to determine the specific surface area and pore size distribution. The SAXS profiles indicate that the obtained samples can be classified as CBCs Im3m mesoporous silica. The presence of silica, oxygen, and nitrogen was verified through SEM-EDS analysis, with approximate compositions of 36-37 %, 51-62 %, and 0.7-1.0 %, respectively. The use of SSA analysis further supported the findings, confirming the typical adsorption isotherm IV model. The specific surface areas were measured to be 371 m2/g for pure CBC, 573 m2/g for P1-CBC, and 607 m2/g for P2-CBC. The pore size distribution analysis revealed mesoporous characteristics within the material, with pore sizes ranging from 4 to 6.5 nm. On a batch laboratory scale, the material achieved the highest adsorption capacity of 15.68 mg-U(VI)/g-NH2@P1-CBC from natural seawater after 1 hour of contact time.","PeriodicalId":8647,"journal":{"name":"Atom Indonesia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141928988","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, Monte Carlo method was used employing the Particle and Heavy Ion Transport code System (PHITS), to examine the amount of dose deposited by incident particles of 12C ion with energies of 200 and 300 MeV/u, as well as 16O ions with energies of 237.5 and 358.5 MeV/u. In this study, we investigated the depth dose distribution of carbon and oxygen ion beams by comparing their energy deposition in a water phantom and the impact of secondary particles.

It is accompanied by a high exposure to radiation due to the number of examinations carried out, which requires efforts to reduce the CT dose index (CTDI) while trying to preserve image quality. To this end, this study proposed the possibility of introducing two new imaging protocols for chest tomography. A 16-slice HITACHI SUPIA CT scanner and two phantoms were used to investigate CTDIvol and image quality; the first phantom was made of PMMA and the other of AAPM model 610. Three tube voltages were studied by varying the intensity of the tube current (mA): 120 kVp (120-160-210-230) mA, 100 kVp (160-200-240-290) mA, and 80 kVp (230-260-300-350) mA. The values for noise uniformity and accuracy, contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), and spatial resolution (SR) were determined using IndoQCT c22a. 92 software. The first thoracic protocol proposed with 100 kVp compared to 120 kVp resulted in a 27.51 % reduction in CTDIvol, a 20 % increase in mA, and a 19.50 % increase in noise. The CNR showed a slight regression of 23.08 %. For the second scan procedure at 80 kVp, the CTDIvol was reduced by 53.32 %, while noise was increased by 53.95 %. There was no statistically significant difference in CNR and SR (p > 0.05) when kVp and mA were reduced compared to the routine protocol. It is suggested that it is possible to adopt two new acquisition protocols at 100 kVp and 80 kVp while reducing the patient exposure dose (CTDIvol) by 28 % and 54 % and taking into account the effect of varying these parameters on image quality. Their choices must be made by integrating and considering clinical issues and a good understanding of the pathophysiology and imaging results of the suspected condition. Consequently, radiologists and technicians should always take a part in improving imaging practices in such a way as to make more effective use of radiation.","PeriodicalId":8647,"journal":{"name":"Atom Indonesia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141928524","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
