ANS and the U.K.’s NI announce reciprocal membership agreement
With President Trump on a state visit to the U.K., in part to sign a landmark new agreement on U.S.-U.K. nuclear collaboration, a flurry of transatlantic partnerships and deals bridging the countries’ nuclear sectors have been announced.
The American Nuclear Society is taking an active role in this bridge-building by forming a reciprocal membership agreement with the U.K.’s Nuclear Institute.

An analysis is made to determine the heat transfer characteristics for steady, fully developed flow of a heat-generating fluid between isothermal parallel plates. Axial conduction is not neglected and the velocity profile is assumed to be nonuniform in the transverse direction. The results indicate that axial conduction is a low Peclet-number thermal-entrance region effect and increases or decreases Nusselt numbers depending on the heat-source strength and the boundary conditions.
