Use of Highly Reactive Chemical Additives to Improve Afterburner Performance at Altitude

Description: Memorandum presenting an investigation in an altitude test chamber to evaluate the use of highly reactive chemicals injected into a turbojet afterburner to promote the combustion process, which was inhibited by water vapor from compressor-inlet injection. The chemicals evaluated were commercial hydrogen and aluminum trimethyl. Results regarding the effects of hydrogen injection on afterburner performance and effect of aluminum trimethyl afterburner fuel additive on performance are provided.

New Waste Calciner High Temperature Operation

Description: A new Calciner flowsheet has been developed to process the sodium-bearing waste (SBW) in the INTEC Tank Farm. The new flowsheet increases the normal Calciner operating temperature from 500 C to 600 C. At the elevated temperature, sodium in the waste forms stable aluminates, instead of nitrates that melt at calcining temperatures. From March through May 2000, the new high-temperature flowsheet was tested in the New Waste Calcining Facility (NWCF) Calciner. Specific test criteria for various Calc… more
