Threshold evaluation data revision and computer program enhancement. Final report

Description: The Threshold Evaluation System was developed to assist the Division of Buildings and Community Systems of the Department of Energy in performing preliminary evaluation of projects being considered for funding. In addition, the evaluation has been applied to on-going projects, because information obtained through RD and D may alter the expected benefits and costs of a project, making it necessary to reevaluate project funding. The system evaluates each project according to its expected energy s… more

Polymer surface coatings for downconversion of uv radiation and inhibition of photodegradation. Semiannual technical status report, June 1978--January 1979

Description: Cerous (III) polymethacrylate (CPMA), prepared by saponifying a commercial polymethyl methacrylate (PLEXIGLAS) and subsequently neutralized with cerous nitrate, were cast into film from its ethyl acetate solution. CPMA films were subjected to intense uv radiation in order to accelerate the solarization, and they were found to be substantially less susceptible to uv induced degradation than the control which was the film cast from polymethacrylic acid (PMA). A set of CPMA coated PLEXIGLAS films … more

Failure analysis of a Hastelloy C-276 geothermal injection pump shaft

Description: A metallurgical analysis of a fractured Hastelloy C-276 brine injection pump shaft was carried out to determine the cause of failure. Loss of load carrying cross section due to intergranular corrosion by molten bronze bearing alloy followed by torsional overload of the remaining section was the cause of failure. Lack of evidence for brine induced corrosion or stress corrosion of the Hastelloy C-276 alloy is consistent with prior successful experience with this material in contact with high temp… more

Jet angular distribution from quantum chromodynamics

Description: The quantum chromodynamic correction to jet (defined a la Sterman and Weinberg) angular distribution in energetic e/sup +/e/sup -/ annihilation is calculated to order ..cap alpha../sub s/ keeping exact dependence on epsilon and delta. Deviations from the zeroth order distribution, 1 + cos/sup 2/theta, for are found relatively large values of epsilon and delta. This effect could be tested at the existing e/sup +/e/sup -/ colliding beam facilities.

Optimal geothermal resource extraction for electric power applications

Description: A phase of ongoing work at the University or Pennsylvania concerning the analysis of capital investments in the development of geothermal electric power facilities is reported. The phase being addressed deals with determining the optimal rate of extraction of geothermal resources for producing electric power. The mathematical approach for estimating an optimal time-path of production to maximize the net present value of a rate sensitive reservoir is formulated.

Project monitor. Final report. [Allegheny County, PA]

Description: Results are reported of a study of consumers' energy attitudes and behavior. Household consumers and small business consumers (both retail and manufacturing) responded to the survey, but only the household results are reported. The study sought to understand energy-related behavior at the level where the various components of energy policy intersect. Attempts are made to attain this goal by determining the extent to which various properties of the individuals and firms are associated with vario… more

Social and economic research program for the Geysers-Calistoga known geothermal resource area

Description: The purpose of this study is to assess the economic and social effects of projected geothermal resource development for both direct use and electric power generation and to analyze local regulatory policy options designed to mitigate adverse effects. The key issues are land use, fiscal and public infrastructure systems, demography, and the local economy. The study has seven elements: a computer-based inventory and analysis of land characteristics, constraints, sensitivity, and suitability for v… more

Hydrogeochemical and stream sediment reconnaissance basic data for Hutchinson NTMS Quadrangle, Kansas

Description: Results of a reconnaissance geochemical survey of the Hutchinson Quadrangle, Kansas are reported. Field and laboratory data are presented for 592 groundwater and 616 stream sediment samples. Statistical and areal distributions of uranium and possible uranium-related variables are displayed. A generalized geologic map of the survey area is provided, and pertinent geologic factors which may be of significance in evaluating the potential for uranium mineralization are briefly discussed. The ground… more

Method of inspecting Raschig rings by neutron absorption counting

Description: A neutron counting method for inspecting borosilicate glass Raschig rings and an apparatus designed specifically for this method are discussed. The neutron count ratios for rings of a given thickness show a linear correlation to the boron oxide content of the rings. The count ratio also has a linear relationship to the thickness of rings of a given boron oxide content. Consequently, the experimentally-determined count ratio and physically-measured thickness of Raschig rings can be used to stati… more

Reservoir characteristics in Uinta basin gas wells. Final report, September 1, 1978-January 31, 1980

Description: Volumes of 29 lenticular tight gas sandstone reservoirs in the Uinta Basin, Utah have been approximated from long-term pressure buildups on 6 wells. Average reservoir volume was interpreted to be about 240,000 ft/sup 3/ per ft of net pay. Outcrop reservoir geometry studies indicate an average reservoir volume (without any reservoir interconnection assumed) of about 30% less than the average based upon production analysis. Therefore, some reservoir interconnection may exist. Results of this stud… more
