HMC-to-flatpack attachment

Description: A method has been developed for attaching a completed hybrid microcircuit to a flatpack which can then be hermetically sealed. Ablefilm 517B and Epo-Tek H77 epoxies, in conjunction with an abraded flatpack and applied pressure during cure, were shown to provide HMC-to-flatpack bonds which meet all environmental and processing requirements of hybrid microcircuits in two recent programs.

Hybrid charged-particle guide for studying (n, charged particle) reactions

Description: Charged-particle transport systems consisting of magnetic quadrupole lenses have been employed in recent years in the study of (n, charged particle) reactions. We have completed a new transport system that is based both on magnetic lenses as well as electrostatic fields. The magnetic focusing of this charged-particle guide is provided by six magnetic quadrupole lenses arranged in a CDCCDC sequence (in the vertical plane). The electrostatic field is produced by a wire at high voltage which stret… more

Production of muons for fusion catalysis in a magnetic mirror configuration. Revision 1

Description: For muon-catalyzed fusion to be of practical interest, a very efficient means of producing muons must be found. We describe a scheme for producing muons that may be more energy efficient than any heretofore proposed. There are, in particular, some potential advantages of creating muons from collisions of high energy tritons confined in a magnetic mirror configuration. If one could catalyze 200 fusions per muon and employ a uranium blanket that would multiply the neutron energy by a factor of 10… more

Site-specific analysis of hybrid geothermal/fossil power plants

Description: A preliminary economic analysis of a hybrid geothermal/coal power plant was completed for four geothermal resource areas: Roosevelt Hot Springs, Coso Hot Springs, East Mesa, and Long Valley. A hybrid plant would be economically viable at Roosevelt Hot Springs and somewhat less so at Coso Hot Springs. East Mesa and Long Valley show no economic promise. A well-designed hybrid plant could use geothermal energy for boiler feedwater heating, auxiliary power, auxiliary heating, and cooling water. Con… more

Power-cycle studies for a geothermal electric plant for MX operating bases

Description: Binary geothermal plants were investigated for providing electrical power for MX missile bases. A number of pure hydrocarbons and hydrocarbon mixtures were evaluated as working fluids for geothermal resource temperatures of 365, 400, and 450/sup 0/F. Cycle thermodynamic analyses were conducted for pure geothermal plants and for two types of coal-geothermal hybrid plants. Cycle performance results were presented as net geofluid effectiveness (net plant output in watts per geofluid flow in 1 bm/h… more

Analysis of Hybrid Hydrogen Systems: Final Report

Description: Report on biomass pathways for hydrogen production and how they can be hybridized to support renewable electricity generation. Two hybrid systems were studied in detail for process feasibility and economic performance. The best-performing system was estimated to produce hydrogen at costs ($1.67/kg) within Department of Energy targets ($2.10/kg) for central biomass-derived hydrogen production while also providing value-added energy services to the electric grid.

Stellarmak a hybrid stellarator: Spheromak

Description: This paper discusses hybridization of modified Stellarator-like transform windings (T-windings) with a Spheromak or Field-Reversed-Mirror configuration. This configuration, Stellarmak, retains the important topological advantage of the Spheromak or FRM of having no plasma linking conductors or blankets. The T-windings provide rotational transformation in toroidal angle of the outer poloidal field lines, in effect creating a reversed B/sub Toroidal/ Spheromak or adding average B/sub T/ to the FR… more

Multi-dimensional hybrid-simulation techniques in plasma physics

Description: Multi-dimensional hybrid simulation models have been developed for use in studying plasma phenomena on extended time and distance scales. The models make fundamental use of the small Debye length or quasi-neutrality assumption. The ions are modeled by particle-in-cell (PIC) techniques while the electrons are considered a collision-dominated fluid. The fields are calculated in the nonradiative Darwin limit. Some electron inertial effects are retained in the Finite Electron Mass model (FEM). In t… more

Energy savings obtainable through passive solar techniques

Description: A passive solar energy system is one in which the thermal energy flow is by natural means, that is by radiation, conduction, or natural convection. The purpose of the paper is to provide a survey of passive solar heating experience, especially in the US. Design approaches are reviewed and examples shown. Misconceptions are discussed. Advantages are listed. The Los Alamos program of performance simulation and evaluation is described and a simplified method of performance estimation is outlined.

Thermochemical seasonal energy storage for solar thermal power

Description: During the many years that thermochemical energy storage has been under investigation, the concept has been plagued with two persistent problems: high capital cost and poor efficiency. Literally hundreds of chemical reactions have also been carried out. For short-term storage, thermochemical systems suffer in comparison with highly efficient sensible storage media such as molten salts. Long-term storage, on the other hand, is not cost-competitive with systems employing fossil backup power. Ther… more
