nbgrader is a flexible tool for creating and grading assignments in the Jupyter Notebook (Kluyver et al., 2016).nbgrader allows instructors to create single, master copy of an assignment, including tests canonical solutions.From copy, student version generated without solutions, thus obviating need maintain two separate versions.nbgrader also automatically grades submitted by executing notebooks storing results database.After auto-grading, can manually grade free responses provide partial...
In this study we investigate the thermal behaviour of an assembly consecutive cylinders in a counter-rotating configuration cooled by natural convection with objective maximizing heat transfer density rate (heat per unit volume). A numerical model was used to solve governing equations that describe temperature and flow fields optimisation algorithm find optimal structure for configurations two or more degrees freedom. The geometric optimized each regime (Rayleigh number) cylinder rotation...
Abstract Uranium and thorium oxides have critical roles as fuels in existing nuclear power plants, well proposed reactor concepts. The thermal conductivity of these materials determines their ability to transfer heat from the core surrounding coolant. Additionally, actinide compounds are interest condensed matter physics because 5f orbitals unique electron interaction, coupling, scattering events that can occur. Because radioactivity uranium, thin film measurements used limit amount operator...
