Electromagnetic Boundary-Value Problems Based Upon a Modification of Residue Calculus and Function Theoretic Techniques

Description: From Introduction: "The first part of this monograph is concerned with the analysis of closed region wave-guide junction problems. This allows simplification of the techniques to be used since no branch cuts are involved in the spectral representation of the fields. However, the analysis can be extended to open region problems in a logical manner. This is the subject of the second part of this monograph."

Security assessment of power systems including energy storage and with the integration of wind energy. Progress report, July 1-September 30, 1979

Description: The progress of the first three tasks of the wind energy part of the contract is discussed. Emphasis is on the modeling of the wind and the detailed computer representations of three candidate wind systems; namely, MOD-1, MOD-2 and the Shackle machine. Once the detailed computer representations of these wind systems have been developed the next step is to begin work on the reduced order models to be used in transient stability programs.

Security assessment of power systems including energy storage. Progress report, January 1, 1979--March 31, 1979

Description: A parameter estimation algorithm has been found which, theoretically, is capable of on-line operation. It has been implemented and the implementation has been confirmed by performance on simple first and second order systems. However, convergence has not been obtained for higher order systems.

Dynamic levitation of charged liquid droplets

Description: The influences of static elongation and charged droplet stability on electrostatic dynamic stabilization and levitation are explored. Based on this analysis, the feasibility of levitating charged droplets of low surface tension liquids such as cryogenic hydrogen for laser fusion target research and fabrication is examined.

Dynamics and feedback control of ISX tokamak

Description: Perturbation equations of a plasma equilibrium position in a tokamak machine have been developed. Neglecting second and higher order effects, an approximated plasma equilibrium position dynamics function of a tokamak machine is obtained and associated feedback control systems are synthesized.

PICASSO: A GENERAL INTERACTIVE GRAPHICS MODELING PROGRAM.

Description: This report is intended to serve as a user's manual for PICASSO. The detailed description of the concepts involved and the methods used in implementing those concepts will be treated in a subsequent paper and are incorporated in the Ph.D. thesis of one of the authors. The program evolved from earlier work on a graphics program for printed circuit board design which had a fixed library of elements. The need for a dynamic graphics program (i.e., one which allows the creation of new elements as re… more

Study of the acceleration, focussing and bunching of ions by electronic space charge for pellet fusion. Progress report, 1 August 1978--31 January 1979. [Acceleration, focusing, and bunching of ions for pellet fusion]

Description: The purpose of this work is to show that electrostatic space charge fields can be used to accelerate, focus and bunch ions, from a background plasma, onto a target. Experiments at low energies (1 ..-->.. 5 kilovolts) have shown the feasibility of the scheme. Present work is at the 100 ..-->.. 300 kilovolt range using a Nereus accelerator on loan from Sandia Laboratories. A representation of the geometry used is depicted.

Optimal control studies of a solar heating system

Description: The results of an optimal control study of a solar heating system are presented. The model used was for the National Security and Resources Study Center at Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory. The study shows that the use of optimal control can significantly reduce the requirements for auxiliary energy as compared with conventional control systems.

Study of the acceleration, focussing and bunching of ions by electronic space charge for pellet fusion. Technical progress report

Description: Three areas of work during this contract period are discussed: (1) a low energy (1 to 10 keV) experiment to demonstrate focusing and to clarify the physics of bunching, (2) an experiment at high energy (100 to 500 keV) to scale prior results, and (3) a theoretical effort to formulate a self-consistent transient analysis of the virtual cathode--plasma interaction. Some results of this work are discussed. (MOW)

Preliminary engineering calculations for a toroidal reverse-field pinch reactor

Description: The energy balance for a model reverse-field pinch reactor is determined by assuming specific values for the plasma beta, temperature, compression ratio, and circulating power. A parameter range of the toroidal current and the minor bore of the machine is then calculated, with additional limitations imposed by the neutron flux to the first wall and electrical engineering considerations. This work is intended to serve as a guide for advancing the reverse-field pinch reactor design.

Analysis and evaluation in the production process and equipment area of the Low-Cost Solar Array Project. Quarterly report, January-April 1979

Description: Significant economic and technical data on the current front junction formation processes of Spectrolab's gaseous diffusion, and of involving the Varian-Extrion 200 to 1000 implanter were tabulated, and were used to judge the feasibility of diffusion proposals by Motorola and RCA and ion implantation proposals by Lockheed, Motorola, RCA, and Spire to meet future LSA-JPL guidelines. Cost calculations, consistent with the SAMICS methodology, were performed for the junction formation processe… more
