Pulsed laser kinetic studies of liquids under high pressure

Description: A high pressure apparatus has been constructed for measuring rates of reactions in liquids under pressures ranging from 1 atm to 2000 atm. This apparatus is being used to test the effect of ligand bulk on the rate of a thermal ring closure reaction. Microphonic photoacoustic signals obtained by illuminating solid samples with synchrotron soft x-rays and with visible laser beams have been successfully correlated with a theory for photoacoustic signal enhancement by volatile liquids. The concentr… more

Particle distributions in collisionless magnetic reconnection: An implicit Particle-In-Cell (PIC) description

Description: Evidence from magnetospheric and solar flare research supports the belief that collisionless magnetic reconnection can proceed on the Alfven-wave crossing timescale. Reconnection behavior that occurs this rapidly in collisionless plasmas is not well understood because underlying mechanisms depend on the details of the ion and electron distributions in the vicinity of the emerging X-points. We use the direct implicit Particle-In-Cell (PIC) code AVANTI to study the details of these distributions … more

Geophysical and transport properties of reservoir rocks. Summary annual report

Description: Definition of petrophysical properties, such as porosity, permeability and fluid saturation, on the scale of meters, is the key to planning and control of successful Enhanced Oil Recovery techniques for domestic reservoirs. Macroscopic transport properties in reservoir rocks depend critically upon processes at the pore level involving interactions between the pore topology and the physical and chemical properties of the rock minerals and interstitial fluids. Similar interactions at the pore lev… more

Corrosion fatigue of iron-chromium-nickel alloys: Fracture mechanics and chemistry. Progress report, 1 January 1990--30 November 1990

Description: Peak bare-surface current densities based on the scratched electrode test are seriously in error and repasivation rates grossly overestimated. Influences of potential and pH on reactions of bare surfaces are better understood. Correlation between charge transfer and corrosion fatigue crack growth response was established for Fe18Cr12Ni alloy in deaerated 0.6N NaCl at RT. Strong correlation was established between morphology of corrosion fatigue fracture surfaces and cracking in hydrogen charged… more
