Analysis of the tradeoff between irrigated agriculure and hydroelectric power in the Pacific Northwest. [Base-line estimate of the effects of agricultural irrigation on the hydroelectric power generating potential projected for the year 2020]

Description: Hydrogeneration and irrigated agriculture are major competing users of the waters of the Columbia River and its tributaries. Irrigated agriculture requires the diversion of large amounts of water from the rivers, only part of which returns. As a result, streamflow is reduced and the generation potential of dams located downstream from points of irrigation diversion is reduced. In addition, irrigated agriculture involves the direct consumption of electricity to pump irrigation water and to apply… more

Diesel cogeneration plant using oxygen enriched air and emulsified fuels

Description: The investigation of oxygen-enriched combustion of alternative fuels in diesel engines at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) is based on information gathered from two previous Department of Energy programs. The first was the slow-speed diesel engine program which used fuels such as coal-water slurry and coal derived liquid fuels in a slow speed diesel engine. The second was the development of membrane oxygen separation equipment. The results of these programs indicated that using the new membran… more

Solar central receiver hybrid power system. Monthly technical progress report, March 1979

Description: The preliminary market assessment for the sodium-cooled solar central receiver hybrid plant is reported, and calculations of the levelized bus bar costs of electric power produced by coal and coal-solar hybrid units have been updated. An investigation of such alternate fuels as coal gas, coal liquids, and shale oil leads to the conclusion that, despite the disadvantages of the direct burning of coal, synthetic fuels are too expensive to be feasible. Additional studies of the optimum size for th… more

A perspective on progress in liquid metal reactor safety

Description: Changes in perspectives on fast reactor safety have occurred over the past ten years due both to technical progress and to the course of events. The major aspect of these changes is that they relate to basic design decisions that are largely, but not exclusively, related to safety considerations. Among the topics discussed are inherent safety, choice of fuel between metal and oxide, choice of reactor configuration between pool and loop, impact of size on safety characteristics and modularity, c… more

Full Life Wind Turbine Gearbox Lubricating Fluids

Description: Industrial gear box lubricants typically are hydrocarbon based mineral oils with considerable amounts of additives to overcome the lack of base fluid properties like wear protection, oxidation stability, load carrying capacity, low temperature solidification and drop of viscosity at higher temperatures. For today's wind turbine gearboxes, the requirements are more severe and synthetic hydrocarbon oils are used to improve on this, but all such hydrocarbon based lubricants require significant amo… more

Model of penetration of coal boilers and cogeneration in the paper industry

Description: A model has been developed to forecast the penetration of coal boilers and cogeneration of electricity in the paper industry. Given the demand for energy services (process steam and electricity) by the paper industry, the Penetration Model forecasts the demand for purchased fuel and electricity. The model splits the demand for energy service between energy carriers (coal, fuel oil/natural gas, bark, and spent liquor) on the basis of the installed capacity of 16 types of boilers (combinations of… more

Production capabilities in US nuclear reactors for medical radioisotopes

Description: The availability of reactor-produced radioisotopes in the United States for use in medical research and nuclear medicine has traditionally depended on facilities which are an integral part of the US national laboratories and a few reactors at universities. One exception is the reactor in Sterling Forest, New York, originally operated as part of the Cintichem (Union Carbide) system, which is currently in the process of permanent shutdown. Since there are no industry-run reactors in the US, the n… more

Thermal energy storage for coal-fired power generation

Description: This paper presents an engineering and economic evaluation of using thermal energy storage (TES) with coal-fired conventional and combined cycle power plants. In the first case, conventional pulverized coal combustion equipment was assumed to continuously operate to heat molten nitrate salt which was then stored in a tank. During intermediate-load demand periods, hot salt was withdrawn from storage and used to generate steam for a Rankine steam power cycle. This allowed the coal-fired salt heat… more

Corrosion tests of DWPF recycle solution

Description: Coupon immersion tests were performed on ASTM A537, Class 1 carbon steel in simulated Defense Waste Processing Facility recycle solutions at 93 [plus minus] 2[degree]C, in an effort to reproduce the results of earlier tests in which hard, shock-sensitive deposits were found. There was no evidence of pitting corrosion on the coupons exposed to solutions containing 0.5 M hydroxide and 2000 ppm (0.043 M) nitrite. Liquid mercury and small solid deposits were found on the specimens' immersed surface… more
