Alternative process schemes for coal conversion. Progress report No. 3, June 1-August 31, 1979

Description: In coal gasification processes such as the flash hydropyrolysis or the Exxon catalytic process, methane is the major desired end product. However, methane is usually produced along with hydrogen and/or carbon monoxide. To obtain pipeline grade methane, it is necessary to develop economical methods of separating methane from hydrogen and/or carbon monoxide mixtures. The hydrogen and carbon monoxide are then recycled in the process. Several separation technologies such as absorption/stripping, cr… more

Analysis of a coal brokerage for a midwest site. [Green Bay and Kewaunee, Wisconsin]

Description: Coal demand of an area aggregated and served through a single facility in order to achieve the high volumes necessary to justify unit-train service is deemed a coal brokerage. Once such a system is initiated, it is conjectured that coal users too small to individually receive unit-train orders can begin to capture the cost savings associated with large volume shipments. In order to examine the coal-brokerage concept closely, the Green Bay-Kewaunee, Wisconsin region was chosen as the site for an… more

Analysis of interactions of mechanical deformations and mass transfer on heat transfer from an underground nuclear-waste repository. Final report

Description: A review of existing models identified several effects that may need consideration in further model development. Most of these effects involved coupling equations through variable property values rather than through omission of any significant mechanism. However, it was also shown that more than one mechanism may adequately simulate a given set of experimental data and additional experimental data are needed to establish which (if any) of the possible mechanisms would actually control condition… more

Antrim oil shale-electric heater and propane burner field ignition experiments. Topical report, August 1977-April 1978

Description: The Dow Chemical Company contract with the Department of Energy to investigate the feasibility of recovering energy from Antrim oil shale by an in situ process required that an extraction trial be conducted using wells previously drilled by Dow. During this trial, two systems were used to initiate in situ combustion. An electric heater ignited the shale after two similar heaters were unsuccessful. The failures were due to electric short-circuits and corrosion. Of four attempts to initiate combu… more

Application and experimental qualification of the equivalent solid plate method to the analysis of perforated plates with square penetration patterns

Description: The analysis of perforated plates containing circular penetrations arranged in a square pattern is greatly complicated by the orthotropy and circumferential variation of the equivalent solid plate material properties. These complications make the application of the equivalent solid plate concept for this type of penetration pattern to problems involving axisymmetric geometries and loadings very difficult. Unfortunately, the alternatives to the equivalent solid plate concept in a large number of… more

Application of matrix formalism to problems with memory

Description: On an example of the transverse one-dimensional coherent bunch motion in the presence of feedback, we developed a matrix formalism which allows us to find the decrement (or increment) and the tune shift of the motion due to a feedback system which remembers many previous passages of the bunch. The derived formulae are applied to a particular case of exponential decay of a resonant kicker signal. The possible detuning of the kicker resonator is also considered. The formulae are further applied t… more

Application of oil-field well log interpretation techniques to the Cerro Prieto Geothermal Field

Description: An example is presented of the application of oil-field techniques to the Cerro Prieto Field, Mexico. The lithology in this field (sand-shale lithology) is relatively similar to oil-field systems. The study was undertaken as a part of the first series of case studies supported by the Geothermal Log Interpretation Program (GLIP) of the US Department of Energy. The suites of logs for individual wells were far from complete. This was partly because of adverse borehole conditions but mostly because… more

Axisymmetric instability in a noncircular tokamak

Description: The stability of dee, inverse-dee and square cross section plasmas to axisymmetric modes has been investigated experimentally in Tokapole II, a tokamak with a four-null poloidal divertor. Experimental results are closely compared with predictions of two numerical stability codes - the PEST code (ideal MHD, linear stability) adapted to tokapole geometry and a code which follows the nonlinear evolution of shapes similar to tokapole equilibria.

Beam-beam effects in curvilinear interaction regions in ISABELLE

Description: The presence of experimental apparatus in the interaction regions of an intersecting beam accelerator changes the configuration of the crossing beams. This changes the space-charge forces with respect to the standard, magnet-free crossing. There is strong interest in instrumenting one of the intersections at ISABELLE with a major spectrometer facility, which involves a large aperture dipole magnet located at the intersection of the beams. Various configurations of the dipole spectrometer have b… more
