W-1 SLSF post-test data analysis. Part 1. Thermal hydraulic analysis. [LMFBR]

Description: Four types of tests were performed: (1) a decay heat transient test, (2) Loss-of-Piping-Integrity (LOPI) tests, (3) Boiling Window Tests (BWT), and (4) a fuel pin dryout and failure test. In addition, preliminary tests were run to check systems performance, instrumentation performance and test section heat balance. The objective of the decay heat test was to determine the decay heat transfer characteristics of fresh fuel pins with subcooled sodium. The objective of the LOPI experiments was to t… more

Selection of transition leak size for LLTR series II test A-4. [LMFBR]

Description: The objective of this report is to provide the basis for the selection of this transition leak size for testing in the LLTR. This test, designated as Test A-4, is of particular interest because, of all the larger nonflame-jet-type-leaks, it has the longest dwell time in the vessel before the rupture disc blows, thus terminating the IHTS pressure rise. Its potential for generating secondary leaks is considered high. It is easy to postulate the generation of such a leak starting with small leak w… more

Development of Acoustic Flow Instruments for Solid/Gas Pipe Flows

Description: Two nonintrusive acoustic flow sensing techniques are reported. One technique, passive in nature, simply measures the bandpassed acoustic noise level produced by particle/particle and particle/wall collisions. The noise levels, given in true RMS voltages or in autocorrelations, show a linear relationship to particle velocity but increase with solid concentration. Therefore, the passive technique requires calibration and a separate measure of solid concentration before it can be used to monitor … more

High-Temperature-Turbine Technology Program: Phase II. Technology test and support studies. Design and development of the liquid-fueled high-temperature combustor for the Turbine Spool Technology Rig

Description: The concept selected by Curtiss-Wright for this DOE sponsored High Temperature Turbine Technology (HTTT) Program utilizes transpiration air-cooling of the turbine subsystem airfoils. With moderate quantities of cooling air, this method of cooling has been demonstrated to be effective in a 2600 to 3000/sup 0/F gas stream. Test results show that transpiration air-cooling also protects turbine components from the aggressive environment produced by the combustion of coal-derived fuels. A new single… more
