Abundances and Spectra for Cosmic-Ray Nuclei from Li to Fe For 2to 150 GeV/n

Description: We report measurements of the absolute and relative abundances, differential energy spectra, and spectral indices for cosmic-ray nuclei from Li to Fe for 2 to 150 GeV/nucleon. These measurements were made using a balloon-borne superconducting magnetic spectrometer with scintillators and optical spark chambers. The abundances of Li, Be, and B for rigidities below 10 GV/c are consistent with an energy-independent mean interstellar pathlength of 4 1/2 {+-} 1/2 g cm{sup -2} for all propagation mode… more

Advanced development of fine coal desulfurization and recovery technology. Annual technical progress report, October 1 1976--September 1977. [54 references]

Description: Work has been carried out to develop and improve several promising methods for desulfurizing and recovering fine-size coal. These methods included froth flotation, selective oil agglomeration, pelletization, and a chemical desulfurization process which involves leaching fine coal with a hot dilute solution of sodium carbonate containing dissolved oxygen or air under pressure. This process is an oxydesulfurization process which utilizes an alkaline solution instead of an acidic solution for leac… more

Algorithm for locating the extremum of a multi-dimensional constrained function and its application to the PPPL Hybrid Study

Description: A description is presented of a general algorithm for locating the extremum of a multi-dimensional constrained function. The algorithm employs a series of techniques dominated by random shrinkage, steepest descent, and adaptive creeping. A discussion follows of the algorithm's application to a ''real world'' problem, namely the optimization of the price of electricity, P/sub eh/, from a hybrid fusion-fission reactor. Upon the basis of comparisons with other optimization schemes of a survey natu… more

Analysis of heat transfer in horizontal tube falling film evaporators

Description: A model of combined boiling and evaporation of liquid films on horizontal tubes was developed. Specifically, this work was directed toward developing a heat transfer model applicable to the design of horizontal tube falling film evaportors for OTEC. The heat transfer process is modelled as combined boiling and evaporation of the liquid film. In modelling the behavior of single tubes special account is taken of heat transfer in the initial thermal developing region of the film. Predictions were … more

Analysis of the impact of retrievable spent fuel storage

Description: The impact of retrievably storing spent fuel is measurable in terms of the contribution the stored spent fuel makes to implementing the fuel management option selected. For the case of a decision to recycle LWR fuel in LWRs, a useful indicator of impact is the ratio of energy production with varying degrees of spent fuel retrievability to that achievable with total spent fuel retrievability. For a decision made in the year 2000, this ratio varies from 0.81 (10 yr storage in reactor basins) to 0… more
