Theory of the Thermal Breakaway of a Pinned Dislocation Line with Application to Damping Phenomena

Description: An investigation is made of the model of a pinned dislocation line under stress. The model used is that originally given by Koehler and later employed by Granato and Lücke in their theory of mechanical damping due to dislocations. By taking into account thermal fluctuations the probability of the thermal unpinning (breakaway) of such a dislocation line is calculated. The effect of the breakaway on the decrement and apparent modulus change felt by a stress wave traveling though a solid is also c… more

Eurochemic Assistance: Monthly Progress Report for Chemical Development Section B, January, 1959 (Sections 1.0, except 1.42, and 2.0)

Description: In order to make rational predictions of the operating characteristics of uranium anion exchange contactors, an understanding of the mechanism and kinetics of the exchange is necessary. Toward this objective an effort is being made to determine the equilibrium sorption isotherms and rates of sorption of uranium on the anion exchange resin Dovex 21K.

Euorochemic Assistance: Chemical Technology Division Unit Operations Section Monthly Progress Report, November, 1958. (Sections 1.0, 5.0, 6.0, 8.0 of ORNL CF-58-11-93)

Description: To better understand the solvent extraction process much effort has been and is being expended at ORNL and elsewhere to measure reaction kinetics of the extraction reactions. To date these efforts have been largely unsuccessful, due to the attempt to apply homogeneous reaction kinetics to two-phase systems. An optical method has been devised for analyzing the concentration profile in the vicinity of a quiescent interface during steady-state diffusion at rather large molecular fluxes. The system… more

The ANCO System for Boron Isotope Enrichment Progress Report for Period Ending September 20, 1955

Description: A new gas-liquid countercurrent system (the ANCO system from Anisole-Complex) for the enrichment of boron isotopes has been developed. It is believed that use of this systems will result in a considerably lower unit cost for enriched boron-10 than was previously possible. The system utilizes the exchange reaction between BF3 (gas) and BF3·anisole (liquid) to concentrate boron-10 in the liquid phase. The single stage isotopic separation factor for this system has been found to vary from 1.039 at… more

Synchrotron Oscillations

Description: Some numerical calculations have been done which permit the deduction of many properties of the synchrotron oscillation problem. For the presentation of the numerical results, it is useful to review the formulation framework to which the results are to be fitted. These are worked out for an arbitrary circular accelerator. The algebra woud have to be modified slightly to include straight sections but the numerical results are still useful.

Nitrous Acid Behavior in Purex Systems

Description: In HAPO solvent extraction processes there are two independent aspects of nitrous acid chemistry. One concern the decomposition of the solvent through nitration reactions and the attendant problems. These reactions are autocatalytic in the presence of nitric acid and have threshold values for both temperature and nitric acid concentration for a given solvent below which nitrous acid disappears and above which it is generated with continuous destruction of the solvent. These reactions are ident… more

Inhibition of Nitric Acid Corrosion of Stainless Steel (Interim Report)

Description: For some time, it has been the opinion of the personnel of this laboratory and other investigators that an appreciable amount of the corrosion observed on stainless steel in nitric acid solutions might be due to the presence of some of the lower oxides of nitrogen; NO-, NO-2, etc. If this assumption is correct, the elimination of these compounds from process solutions should result in a significant increase in the service life of equipment handling nitric acid, such as acid fractionators.

Iteration Methods for Non-Linear Problems

Description: The methods of successive displacements or relaxation methods are investigated for a class of nonlinear problems. In particular it is shown that these methods are applicable to a large class of nonlinear problems arising from variational problems which yield elliptic equations. Constructive existence and uniqueness theorems are presented for the discrete problem and criteria are given for a practical method of obtaining solutions. The example of a discrete Plateau problem is used to illustrate … more

Some Computational Methods for the Study of Diatomic Molecules

Description: "The present work describes some computer-oriented techniques for the application of the laws of quantum mechanics to the problems of determining basic structure of diatomic molecules. At times, calculations of the type described here yield results which can be compared directly with experiment to check the validity of the hypotheses and technique used they may predict the results of unobserved experimental phenomena; and, in many instances, they provide quantities which are necessary for the … more

Significance Arithmetic on the IBM 7090

Description: "The 7090 at NYU has been modified to include a "Significance Mode" of operation which is intended to facilitate the identification of significant bits in the results of floating point arithmetic operations. The manner in which floating point arithmetic is handled in this mode is discussed. Several numerical experiments using this mode are described and comparisons are made with the ordinary "normalized mode." Examples include power series evaluation, linear equations solution, determinant ev… more

Forming of Uranium in the Gamma Phase Temperature Range

Description: It has been found relatively easy to form uranium in the gamma phase temperature range by hot pressing, forging, or extrusion. The metal is quite plastic and flows readily to form a shape. Several temperatures from 800 degree C to 1000 degree C were investigated. No forming difficulties were experienced with the metal at the several temperatures concerned. The major difficulty in gamma phase hot pressing or extruding was associated with the tools. Metals or ceramics were not successful as tools… more
