Electron irradiation effects in YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7-delta/ single crystals

Description: Defect structures in YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7/minus/delta/ produced by electron irradiation at 300/degree/K, were investigated by transmission electron microscopy. Threshold energies for the production of visible defects were determined to b 152 keV and 131 keV (+- 7 keV) in directions near the a- and b-axes, respectively (b > a, both perpendicular to c, the long axis in the orthorhombic structure). During above-threshold irradiations in an electron flux of 3 x 10 /sup 18/ cm/sup /minus/2/s/s… more

Quark core stars, quark stars and strange stars

Description: A recent one flavor quark matter equation of state is generalized to several flavors. It is shown that quarks undergo a first order phase transition. In addition, this equation of state depends on just one parameter in the two flavor case, two parameters in the three flavor case, and these parameters are constrained by phenomenology. This equation of state is then applied to the hadron-quark transition in neutron stars and the determination of quark star stability, the investigation of strange … more

Accelerated aging of cellulose by laser irradiation. [Development for Shroud of Turin]

Description: We describe a new technique for studying thermally-induced chemical transformations in cellulose developed for the Shroud of Turin. The apparatus consists of a carbon dioxide laser for heating, an infrared thermometer, and an optical reflectance spectrometer for tracking the progressive discoloration of the sample. To illustrate the technique, we present measurements from a single piece of sample linen along five isotherms in the range 200-290/degree/C. The results are explained in terms of fir… more

Associated multiplicity for charged participants was obtained using a 110-element scintillator multiplicity array. Data were taken over the angular range of 21/degree/ to 67/degree/ in the laboratory (equivalent to 30/degree/ to 90/degree/ in the center of mass). Dependence of the spectra upon pio… more

Potential impact of R and D on hydrothermal energy cost

Description: The potentital impact of the DOE/Geothermal Technology Development programs on the cost of geothermal power has been estimated using the computer program IMGEO.300. Results indicate a potential 30 to 40% cost reduction for hydrothermal systems with a 40 to 50% cost reduction potential for binary systems. The purpose of this document is to demonstrate the use of IMGEO. The initial results are tentative because the R and D goals have not been finalized and the code has not been completely validat… more

The role of biotechnology in the treatment of geothermal residual sludges

Description: Power plants which use geothermal heat to generate electric power produce a residual sludge in large quantities. This material precipitates from supersaturated brines and contains toxic metals, some of which are present in concentrations exceeding the non hazardous waste disposal regulations. Disposal of this waste as hazardous waste is costly. Work in this laboratory has shown that a biotreatment of the geothermal waste in which toxic metal resistant acidophilic organisms are used can serve as… more

Government policy and market penetration opportunities for US renewable energy technology in India and Pakistan

Description: Some US renewable energy industries are now looking abroad, especially to the rapidly developing Asia-Pacific region, in order to increase sales and expand markets. The developing world appears in principle to be an important market for renewable energy technologies. These international markets have proven extremely difficult to penetrate, and the US competitive position is threatened by strong, well-organized, government-supported competition from Japan and Western Europe. For example, US phot… more

Testing the Viability of the E/sub T//sup miss/ Signature in Gluino Production at the SSC

Description: We report on a preliminary study at SSC energies of signatures and backgrounds for heavy gluinos in the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model. Unlike previous studies we account for the small branching ratio of gluinos to the lightest supersymmetric particle. We find that an E/sub T//sup miss/ signature is observable over the Standard Model background.

Fluid dynamics of double diffusive systems

Description: A study of mixing processes in doubly diffusive systems is being conducted. Continuous gradients of two diffusing components (heat and salinity) are being used as initial conditions, and forcing is introduced by lateral heating, surface shear and sloping boundaries. The goals of the proposed work include: quantification of the effects of finite amplitude disturbances on stable, double diffusive systems, particularly with respect to lateral heating, development of an improved understanding of th… more

Flaw identification from forced vibration testing

Description: A continuous system approach to the vibration characteristics of a symmetrically slotted beam has been developed. The beam was modelled as a Bernoulli-Euler beam with a reasonable stress distribution associated with the slots. The equation of motion was developd and resonant frequencies obtained from Rayleigh's Quotient. An experimental study of an aluminum beam with symmetrical slots was performed. The resonant frequency and apparent mass (a measure of damping) were measured. Reasonably good c… more

Energy and particle densities from oxygen-induced nuclear reactions

Description: Charged particle multiplicity and pseudo-rapidity distributions observed in /sup 16/O induced nuclear collisions at 60 and 200 A GeV are presented in conjunction with forward and transverse energy distributions. From the measurements estimates of the supreme energy density obtained in central /sup 16/O + /sup 197/Au collisions at 200 A GeV yield a value of about 3 GeV/fm/sup 3/ seemingly enough to fulfill the presumptions for chiral symmetry restoration. The target mass dependence on the pseudo… more

Analysis of internal wellbore flow

Description: Most two-phase geothermal wells are located in fractured rocks and intersect a few major feedzones. It is well known that internal wellbore flow between feedzones often occurs during warmup or pressure recovery periods. The internal flow can occur even when the reservoir is initially in pressure equilibrium because of the different phase composition that develops within the wellbore. Internal flow can cause large apparent pressure drawdowns and significantly affect pressure and temperature surv… more

Pion production in relativistic collisions of nuclear drops

Description: In a continuation of the long-standing effort of the nuclear physics community to model atomic nuclei as droplets of a specialized nuclear fluid, we have developed a hydrodynamic model for simulating the collisions of heavy nuclei at relativistic speeds. Our model couples ideal relativistic hydrodynamics with a new Monte Carlo treatment of dynamic pion production and tracking. The collective flow for low-energy (200 MeV/N) collisions predicted by this model compares favorably with results from … more

Geothermal direct use projects in the United States: Status and trends

Description: Prior to about 1973, geothermal most direct use projects in the United States involved pool/spa applications and limited district and space heating systems. The oil price shocks of the 1970's revived interest in the use of geothermal energy as an alternative energy source. Accordingly, the US Department of Energy initiated numerous programs that caused significant growth of this industry. These programs involved technical assistance to developers, the preparation of project feasibility studies … more

Modeling of fluid and heat flow in fractured geothermal reservoirs

Description: In most geothermal reservoirs large-scale permeability is dominated by fractures, while most of the heat and fluid reserves are stored in the rock matrix. Early-time fluid production comes mostly from the readily accessible fracture volume, while reservoir behavior at later time depends upon the ease with which fluid and heat can be transferred from the rock matrix to the fractures. Methods for modeling flow in fractured porous media must be able to deal with this matrix-fracture exchange, the … more

Candidate alloys include austenitic steels stabilized with nickel (NiSS) or manganese (MnSS). The radioactivity, the decay heat, and the waste disposal rating of each alloy have been calculated for the inboard shield of the ITER design option utilizing water cooled solid breeder blanket. The results show, for the 55 cm inboard shield and after 3 MW.yr/m2 fluence, tha… more
