There are large amounts of cars passing through the streets every day and this increases significantly in the morning or evening rush hours. The automotive industry has evolved greatly and many technologies have been introduced to automate many of its functions. The code division multiple access(CDMA) is mostly used in our daily lives. The emergence of driverless vehicles has led to a boom in the world of automotive technology, because of its importance in creating a new environment and new concepts aimed at human conformability and increased productivity. Many solutions have been appeared to offer suitable self-driving vehicles environment that is capable to overcome the arising problems. When the self-driving vehicles are well equipped, the only remaining goal is how to control external communications with other vehicles, with updates that can appear in the road and with main center. It come through by the help of CDMA network connection. This paper proposed code division multiple access as a communication technology to overcome the problems may appeared in time division multiple access.The proposed system of robot cars is implemented through high way environment scenario. The communication system is implemented via code division multiple access (CDMA) to realize high security, high quality of services, robustness and high capacity.

“…SGs are heat exchangers containing thousands of tubes to transfer heat from the primary coolant which represents the hot side to the secondary coolant which represents the cold side to produce steam, that produce electricity by powering turbine generators. A large number of nuclear power plants (NPPs) have from 2 to 6 SGs; however some have up to 12 SGs [1]. In nuclear power plants overall the world, there are around 1300 SGs being in service.…”

“…In the present work, a mathematical model for the UTSG is introduced using a home-made computer model written fully using MATLAB programming environment. It is well known that if there are many measurement data, MATRIXx environment provides a quick solution to the least square's problems, so matrix calculations can be performed easily using commercial software packages such as MATHCAD and MATLAB [1]. MATLAB is widely used in modeling of steam generators because of its interactive programmable matrix calculator with graphics capabilities [13].…”

“…The most popular design for steam generators is UTSG [1]. Figure 1 represents a schematic diagram of an inverted U-shaped vertical steam generator, in which all parts of the steam generator are contained within a cylindrical vessel and the pre-cooling water coming from the reactor core enters the inlet at a pressure of about 15 MPa facing upward at the inverted U.…”

In nuclear power plants, steam generators are important parts. This paper introduces a U-tube steam generator (UTSG) model implemented completely using MATLAB environment. The UTSG consists of four regions: upward and downward primary regions, upward and downward metal tube regions, and secondary regions, which contain heat transfer region, steam separation region, and subcooled water region. Governing equations are derived by applying energy and mass conservation equations in all regions. Accurate functions that describe the relationships between thermodynamic properties of the saturated steam are introduced instead of interpolation method that is widely used. Steady state and one transient case are presented as well.
