Generating technology assessment. Phase I work plan, Task 1 report

Description: A plan of work outlining information to assess electric generating technologies is presented. Projections are made of realistic and understandable engineering and cost assessments of nonnuclear electrical generating technologies. A computer-based method of producing such engineering and cost estimates for use by EIA's Coal and Electric Power Analysis Division is to be developed and implemented. Technologies and processes to be assessed are: all nonnuclear conventional and nonconventional (coal … more

Process development for automated solar cell and module production. Task 4. Automated array assembly. Quarterly report No. 4

Description: Construction of the components of an automated solar cell layup and interconnect system is now complete. This system incorporates a Unimate 2000 B industrial robot with an end effector consisting of a vacuum pick up and induction heating coil. The robot interfaces with a smart cell preparation station which correctly orients the cell, applies solder paste and forms and positions the correct lengths of interconnect lead. The system is controlled and monitored by a TRS-80 micro computer. The enti… more

Liquid fuels production from biomass. Progress report No. 8, July 1-September 30, 1979

Description: It was found that marine algae could be converted to higher aliphatic organic acids and that these acids could be readily removed from the fermentation broth by membrane or liquid-liquid extraction. It was then proposed to convert these higher organic acids to aliphatic hydrocarbons via Kolbe electrolysis, which may be used as a diesel fuel. A coenzyme M analogue, 2-bromoethanesulfonic acid has been shown to be an effective suppressor of methane in nonsterile anaerobic fermentation of cellulosi… more

User's guide for MCFRM, a Monte Carlo particle code for FRM studies

Description: The Monte Carlo particle code MCFRM described in this work is also written in the FORTRAN language and is available on either the MFE-7600 or the CRAY-1 computers. The discussion presented here deals only with the steps required to execute the code on the CRAY, since the majority of its use should be on that machine.

Pilot aerial infrared roof top survey. Final report

Description: A summary is presented of a pilot aerial infrared roof top study conducted by the Minnesota Energy Agency. Infrared surveys of 27 Minnesota cities were conducted during the fall and winter of the 1976-1977 heating season. In addition, conventional daytime color photographs were taken of several cities. Film processing was done by the Environmental Protection Agency. The University of Minnesota conducted ground tests to verify the aerial infrared imagery. Thermograph dissemination centers were e… more

Fission cross section of /sup 245/Cm from 10/sup -3/ eV to 10/sup 4/ eV

Description: The neutron-induced fission cross section of /sup 245/Cm measured from .001 eV to 10 keV using the LLL 100-MeV Linac. The resonance data are analyzed with a multilevel-multichannel R-matrix code. The statistical distribution of R-matrix parameters extracted from the analysis are investigated and comparisons are made with previous work. 4 reference.

On the spurious pressures generated by certain GFEM solutions of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations

Description: The spurious pressures and acceptable velocities generated when using certain combinations of velocity and pressure approximations in a Galerkin finite element discretization of the primitive variable form of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are analyzed both theoretically and numerically for grids composed of quadrilateral finite elements. Schemes for obtaining usable pressure fields from the spurious numerical results are presented for certain cases.

Cool pool development. Quarterly technical report No. 1, April-June 1979

Description: The Cool Pool is a passive cooling system consisting of a shaded, evaporating roof pond which thermosiphons cool water into water-filled, metal columns (culvert pipes) located within the building living space. The water in the roof pond is cooled by evaporation, convection and radiation. Because the water in the pool and downcomer is colder and denser than the water in the column a pressure difference is created and the cold water flows from the pool, through the downcomer and into the bottom o… more

Is it possible to improve the eventrate for narrow resonances in SPEAR and PEP

Description: The eventrate at narrow resonances, like the /psi//J and /Tau/ resonances, is not only determined by the luminosity of the e/sup +/ and e /sup /minus// storage ring but also by the energy spread in the beam due to synchrotron radiation. This energy spread is much larger than the width of the resonances. Therefore, if the energy spread could be reduced by a factor F the eventrate would increase by the same factor.

Recent progress in inertial confinement fusion at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory

Description: The Shiva and Argus laser systems at Livermore have been developed to study the physics of inertial confinement fusion. Both laser system designs are predicated on the use of large aperture Nd-glass disk amplifiers and high power spatial filters. During the past year we have irradiated DT filled microshell targets with and without polymer coatings. Recently new instruments have been developed to investigate implosion dynamics and to determine the maximum fuel density achieved by these imploded … more
