Secondary and compound concentrators for parabolic-dish solar-thermal power systems

Description: A secondary optical element may be added to a parabolic dish solar concentrator to increase the geometric concentration ratio attainable at a given intercept factor. This secondary may be a Fresnel lens or a mirror, such as a compound elliptic concentrator or a hyperbolic trumpet. At a fixed intercept factor, higher overall geometric concentration may be obtainable with a long focal length primary and a suitable secondary matched to it. Use of a secondary to increase the geometric concentration… more

Energy recovery through termites. Final report

Description: This project, Energy Recovery Through Termites, was based on the proposed development of an energy recovery system to produce low cost animal protein for use in animal feeds. The result of my study shows that to date we are unable to establish viable colonies of termites. This is based on several key factors as follows: (a) inability to capture reproductives to establish new colonies in a confined area needed to offer recovery or harvest of protein; (b) confinement of colonies (even without que… more

Basic Combustion and Pollutant-Formation Processes for Pulverized Fuels. Quarterly Technical Progress Report No. 4, 1 July 1981-30 September 1981

Description: This contract study of basic combustion and pollutant formation processes for pulverized solid fossil fuels includes coal-water mixtures and chars derived from coal pyrolysis, liquefaction or gasification processes. The factors that affect the physical properties of coal-water mixtures (CWM) have been identified and characterization tests initiated to determine how these variables (e.g., solids loading, particle size, particle size distribution, additives) affect the coal slurries. A bench-scal… more

Collisional processes of interest in MFE plasma research. Annual report, October 1, 1980-September 30, 1981

Description: Research on this contract can be divided into two general topics: (1) D/sup -/ formation collision processes, and (2) the determination of scattering cross sections used to diagnose properties of magnetically-confined plasmas. For topic (1) during last year, we completed theoretical calculations on the differential (angular) scattering of H/sup 0/ and D/sup 0/ on Cs, and determined the mechanisms and trends in the electron detachment cross sections for collisions of H/sup -/ and D/sup -/ on He,… more

Prefabricated heat-exchanging fireplace. Final technical report

Description: A heat-exchanging fireplace was installed in a 2000 square foot home and the standard air distribution equipment was ducted directly to the forced-air heating system of the home. The standard air distribution equipment for the fireplace included two squirrel-cage blowers which were connected to a thermostat, allowing a choice of temperature ranges; and a snap disc thermostat was used to disconnect the blowers in order to avoid blowing cold air after the fire died out. Arranged in this manner, o… more

Project for laboratory study for removal of organic sulfur from coal

Description: Major accomplishments are listed: 1. It was found that molten sodium hydroxide (in place of mixed sodium and potassium hydroxides) followed by dilute sulfuric acid wash gave Gravimelt coal with the usual amount of sulfur and mineral matter removal but there was no MAF heat content loss over the small amount required for replacement of sulfur atoms by oxygen atoms in the coal structure - e.g., these samples had both measured heat content and MAF heat content in excess of 1400 Btu/lb. Therefore, … more

Correction for spectral mismatch effects on the calibration of a solar cell when using a solar simulator

Description: A general expression has been derived to enable calculation of the calibration error resulting from simulator-solar AMX spectral mismatch and from reference cell-test cell spectral mismatch. The information required includes the relative spectral response of the reference cell, the relative spectral response of the cell under test, and the relative spectral irradiance of the simulator (over the spectral range defined by cell response). The spectral irradiance of the solar AMX is assumed to be k… more

Phase relations in crystalline ceramic nuclear waste forms the system UO/sub 2 + x/-CeO/sub 2/-ZrO/sub 2/-ThO/sub 2/ at 1200/sup 0/C in air

Description: Steady-state phase relations in the system UO/sub 2 + x/-CeO/sub 2/-ZrO/sub 2/-ThO/sub 2/ were determined for application to phase relations in the high-level crystalline ceramic nuclear waste form Supercalcine-Ceramics. Samples were treated at 1200/sup 0/C at an oxygen partial pressure of 0.21 atm and a total pressure of 1 atm. Phase assemblages were found to be composed of cubic solid solutions of the flourite structure type, solid solutions based on ZrO/sub 2/, and orthorhombic solid solutio… more

Description: A study of basic combustion and pollutant formation processes for pulverized solid fossil fuels has been initiated. The solid fossil fuels under consideration for this research include such solid fuels as non-bituminous coal types, solvent refined coal, combustion char, petroleum coke, oil shale and tar sand.

Radiation and transmutation effects relevant to solid nuclear waste forms

Description: Radiation effects in insulating solids are discussed in a general way as an introduction to the quite sparse published work on radiation effects in candidate nuclear waste forms other than glasses. Likely effects of transmutation in crystals and the chemical mitigation strategy are discussed. It seems probable that radiation effects in solidified HLW will not be serious if the actinides can be wholly incorporated in such radiation-resistant phases as monazite or uraninite.
