An analysis of residential energy consumption in a temperate climate

Description: Electrical energy consumption data have been recorded for several hundred submetered residential structures in Middle Tennessee. All houses were constructed with a common energy package.'' Specifically, daily cooling usage data have been collected for 130 houses for the 1985 and 1986 cooling seasons, and monthly heating usage data for 186 houses have been recorded by occupant participation over a seven-year period. Cooling data have been analyzed using an SPSSx multiple regression analysis and … more

Active layer hydrology for Imnavait Creek, Toolik, Alaska

Description: The hydrology of the active layer of a watershed is described. In the annual hydrologic cycle, snowmelt is the most significant event at Imnavait Creek located near Toolik Lake, Alaska. Precipitation that has accumulated for more than 6 months on the surface melts in a relatively short period of 7 to 10 days once sustained melting occurs. Significant runoff events are few. Convective storms covering relatively small areas on the North Slope of Alaska can produce significant small-scale events i… more

An aerial radiological survey of Pocatello and Soda Springs, Idaho and surrounding area, June--July 1986

Description: Three aerial radiological surveys were conducted during the period 16 June through 15 July 1986 over the towns of Pocatello, Soda Springs, and Fort Hall, Idaho and the surrounding areas. The surveys were performed for the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) by the United States Department of Energy's (DOE) Remote Sensing Laboratory (RSL), utilizing the Aerial Measuring System (AMS). This work was completed in cooperation with a study by the EPA to conduct a dose assessment of hu… more

Recovery Efficiency Test Project: Phase 1, Activity report

Description: The recovery Efficiency Test well project addressed a number of technical issues. The primary objective was to determine the increased efficiency gas recovery of a long horizontal wellbore over that of a vertical wellbore and, more specifically, what improvements can be expected from inducing multiple hydraulic fractures from such a wellbore. BDM corporation located, planned, and drilled a long radius turn horizontal well in the Devonian shale Lower Huron section in Wayne County, West Virginia,… more

Documentation of the Range 8C rehabilitation demonstration project at Hohenfels Training Area, West Germany

Description: Continued and intensive tactical training for the last 35 years at the Hohenfels Training Area (HTA), Federal Republic of Germany, has resulted in extensive environmental damage and reduced training realism. The US Corps of Engineers Construction Engineering Research Laboratory is developing an Integrated Training Area Management (ITAM) Program for the Seventh Army Training Command for use at HTA. Argonne National Laboratory was asked to assist in one element of the ITAM program, a training ran… more

Development of a retrofit coal combustor for industrial applications

Description: During this quarter, testing continued on the advanced refractory chamber (ARC) to monitor the behavior of slag flow as a function of configuration and a new tailpipe configuration was tested on both pulverized and micronized coal (Pittsburgh No. 8). Slag buildup within the tailpipe was minimal. The design and fabrication of the tandem unit was initiated. This unit will be completely lined with Pyrotab 3400 alumina. A flue gas scrubber was also designed, fabricated and installed, primarily to m… more

Establish Feasibility for Providing Passive Cooling With Solar Updraft and Evaporative Downdraft Chimneys

Description: Natural draft towers can be used for cooling and ventilating structures. From an operational perspective, the downdraft evaporatively cooled tower is preferred for a dry climate. Solar chimneys, when used alone, tend to require an excessively large solar collector area when appreciable quantities of air must be moved. When used in combination with a downdraft tower, the roof and attic of buildings may assist the solar chimney and their use becomes more attractive. Both a frame building and a gr… more

Fuel cells for extraterrestrial and terrestrial applications

Description: The fuel cell is a nineteenth century invention and a twentieth century technology development. Due to the high power and energy density, high efficiency, reliability, and production of pure water, hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell systems have no competition as auxiliary power sources for space vehicles. The alkaline fuel cell system is a well developed and proven technology for this application. The solid polymer electrolyte system may be its future competitor. The energy crisis of 1973 stimulated re… more

Sequential low-temperature depolymerization and liquefaction of US coals

Description: One of the main objectives of this project is to investigate the low temperature ([le] 290[degrees]C) depolymerization-liquefaction reactions of representative US coals using a 3-step procedure recently developed in our Laboratory. The procedure involves subjecting the coal first to two consecutive depolymerization steps in which different types of intercluster linkages are subjected to preferential cleavage. The depolymerized products obtained have low molecular weights and consist predominant… more

Field investigation of a wake structure downwind of a VAWT in a windfarm array

Description: The effects of upwind turbine wakes on the performance of a FloWind 17-m VAWT were investigated through a series of field experiments conducted at the FloWind windfarm on Cameron Ridge, Tehachapi, California. The field experiment was conducted within a VAWT array consisting of more than nine VAWTs with separations 3D crosswised by 8D downwind (where D is the turbine diameter) in a staggered configuration. The array is the upwind three rows of VAWTS in a total of six rows that are on top of the … more

Defense Special Case Transuranic Waste Implementation Plan

Description: The purpose of the Special Case Implementation Plan (SCIP) is to establish a comprehensive plan for the efficient long-term management and disposal of defense special case (SC) transuranic (TRU) waste. To fulfill this purpose, a review of SC waste management strategies (at both the site-specific and TRU program levels), waste characteristics and inventories, processing and transportation options, and disposal requirements was made. This review provides a plan for implementing policy decisions a… more
