Lithium has two stable isotopes naturally including 6Li at 7.5% and 7Li at 92.5% relative abundance. In spite of the similarities of lithium isotopes in common chemical reactions, they have some completely distinctive behaviors in nuclear reactions. 6Li has considerable neutron cross section capturing in thermal neutron range about 945 barns while this feature for 7Li is insignificant about 0.037 barns. This difference makes them to play different roles in nuclear uses. 7LiOH is applied for pH adjustment of coolant in light water reactors. 6Li is not only used as a shielding material against thermal neutrons, but also is known as a source of tritium in the blanket of fusion reactors which... 

Lithium has 9 isotopes which two isotopes are stable and remaining isotopes are unstable and have half-life. Lithium stable isotopes include 6Li and 7Li that their abundance is 7.53% and 92.47% respectively. Importance of lighter lithium isotope appears for its small cross section against thermal neutron and producing fusion reactors fuel in nuclear industries. Thermal neutron absorption cross section for 6Li and 7Li are 950 barn and 37 mbarn respectively. Interesting of these isotopes in nuclear industry is due to the large difference in the absorption cross section.6Li compounds implied for tritium producing in coat of nuclear fusion reactor with DT fuel. Following tritium is used in... 

Lithium has two stable isotopes, 6Li and 7Li. Abundance of these isotopes are 7.53% and 92.43% respectively. Each isotope has an important role in nuclear industry. For example, 6Li compounds is used in production of tritium in nuclear fusion reactors coated with DT fuel and as fuel in nuclear fusion reactors that operate with laser inertial confinement method applied. 7LiOH is used to adjust the pH of the fluid coolant in light water reactors and also in Breeding Reactors. Lithium isotope separation in different ways so far been brought into operation. The other aspect to this work, it can be both continuous and batch for action. Lithium isotopes for the first time by electrolysis using... 

With the advances made in the last century as well as increasing consumption of non-renewable energy sources and the risk of completion of the resource, developed countries, development and use of renewable energy are taken. In the area of renewable resources, solar energy, is always available as a source, clean and inexhaustible, as one of the most important sources of renewable energy, is known. With the advancement of technology, the use of renewable energy in important industries, especially in the aerospace industry to become more common, so that examples of it in the construction of UAVs and airships is exposed to solar. In this thesis can power loop system consists of two subsystems... 

Capturing the atmospheric CO2 and turning it into value added products is a topic that has been extensively studied in recent years. One of the methods through which CO2 is valorized is via converting it into carbon nanofiber, CNFs. CNFs can be an important material in future human activities due to its valuable properties such as wide range of electrical conductivity, their superior flexibility and strength, But it is currently obstructed in use due to the high cost of manufacturing and the complexity of the synthesis. Furthermore, in today's world, human life is heavily influenced by greenhouse gases, and avoiding emitting gases like CO2, is almost infeasible. This thesis provides an... 

In this research, a multigeneration system was designed and evaluated, utilizing solar and geothermal energy to generate electricity, fresh water, hydrogen, and oxygen. The system's performance was assessed from energy, exergy, and economic perspectives. The setup involves a solar tower contributing energy to the gas cycle and a geothermal well supplying preheated water for the steam cycle. The system employs a molten salt cycle to capture heat from the solar receiver, transferring it to the air cycle. The remaining energy requirement is met by the Air Brayton cycle, which combines methane and hydrogen as fuels within the combustion chamber. Additionally, a steam cycle is integrated to...
