AMPS automated message processing system, LER 76-101701A. [For preparing SACNET messages off line]

Description: This report describes the operation and use of the LLL Automated Message Processing System (AMPS), which is used for off-line preparation of messages for SACNET (Secure Automatic Communications Network). The preparation of teletype messages before AMPS required typing on a teletype to create a paper tape in ASCII code compatible with SACNET. AMPS uses a MCS-80 microprocessor, CRT with keyboard, and a teletype to create the SACNET messages. Through processor control and CRT edit capabilities, th… more

Cell-based land use screening procedure for regional siting analysis. [Utilizing spatial analysis procedures and computer graphics]

Description: An energy facility site-screening methodology which permits the land resource planner to identify candidate siting areas was developed. Through the use of spatial analysis procedures and computer graphics, a selection of candidate areas is obtained. Specific sites then may be selected from among candidate areas for environmental impact analysis. The computerized methodology utilizes a cell-based geographic information system for specifying the suitability of candidate areas for an energy facili… more

Conservation equations for vapor-droplet flows including boundary-droplet effects

Description: The governing equations for a flowing vapor with suspended burning, evaporating, or condensing droplets are derived in a straightforward manner using the control volume, or Reynolds transport, approach. The equations demonstrate how mass transfer at the droplet surface contributes to the momentum and energy of a single droplet, a cloud of droplets, and the vapor phase. The inclusion of boundary droplets gives rise to a droplet heat transfer term omitted in previous derivations. These equations … more

Elementary introduction to finite difference equations

Description: An elementary description is given of the basic vocabulary and concepts associated with finite difference modeling. The material discussed is biased toward the types of large computer programs used at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory. Particular attention is focused on truncation error and how it can be affected by zoning patterns. The principle of convergence is discussed, and convergence as a tool for improving calculational accuracy and efficiency is emphasized.

Hand calculator programs for weapons effects analyses: the physical vulnerability system

Description: The physical vulnerability system for evaluating probable damage from a nuclear blast has received wide acceptance because it is a simple but general system applicable to a wide variety of target classes. A series of hand-calculator programs using this system that permit equally accurate but faster calculations than the conventional handbook method are described. The programs cover various interrelationships among peak overpressures, peak dynamic pressures, vulnerability numbers, weapons radii,… more

Lithium--water--air battery project: progress during the month of May 1976. [Study of Li/Br analog]

Description: A technique was developed for the rapid and accurate determination of current efficiency for lithium dissolution through the measurement of the steady-state, nonequilibrium hydrogen gas evolution rate from closed lithium--water cells. A technique for preparing alloys of lithium through arc melting was developed. The results of the polarization studies on the first set of samples show no marked effect of Ca or Al dopants on film conductivity. A lithium--bromine analog of the lithium--water batte… more

Numerical investigation of hose instability of a Bennet beam. [Beam simulation]

Description: The hose instability is examined numerically for an unmodulated beam with the Bennett current profile J(r) ..cap alpha.. (1 + r/sup 2//a/sup 2/)/sup -2/. Channel conductivity sigma(r) is also of this form. The dispersion relation of Lee shows excellent agreement with numerical results. Transient behavior of beam is studied and found consistent with Lee's work.

Power plant siting; an application of the nominal group process technique

Description: The application of interactive group processes to the problem of facility siting is examined by this report. Much of the discussion is abstracted from experience gained in applying the Nominal Group Process Technique, an interactive group technique, to the identification and rating of factors important in siting nuclear power plants. Through this experience, interactive group process techniques are shown to facilitate the incorporation of the many diverse factors which play a role in siting. In… more

Preliminary interpretation of resistivity and seismic refraction data from the Salton Sea Geothermal Field

Description: Seismic refraction and electrical resistivity surveys have been conducted in the Salton Sea Geothermal Field. The resistivity data are used to infer the boundaries of a reservoir of saline fluid. One lateral boundary closely coincides with a fault that was located by seismic refraction.
