Biological and clinical dosimetry. Progress report, October 1, 1979-September 30, 1980

Description: Several major dosimetric intercomparisons were carried out during the last year. At the National Institute of Radiological Sciences, Chiba-shi and the University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan, calorimetric and ionimetric intercomparisons of dose were performed. Similar measurements were also carried out at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, Los Alamos, and Harvard. The measurements of the thermal defect for A-150 plastic were completed and an average value of (4.1 +- 0.3)% was found. Preliminary measur… more

Identification of geopressured occurrences outside of the Gulf Coast. Final report, Phase I

Description: As an extension of its efforts in the development of the geopressured resources of the Gulf Coast, the Division of Geothermal Energy of the US Department of Energy is interested in determining the extent and characteristics of geopressured occurrences in areas outside the Gulf Coast. The work undertaken involved a literature search of available information documenting such occurrences. Geopressured reservoirs have been reported from various types of sedimentary lithologies representing virtuall… more

Catalytic conversion of oxygenated compounds to low molecular weight olefins. Progress report, March 1, 1980-August 31, 1980

Description: A possible route for producing low molecular weight olefins is to convert synthesis gas to methanol followed by conversion of methanol to olefins in a one-step process. During this report period the reaction apparatus suitable for reaction pressure of 500 to 1000 psig was constructed. A preliminary trial run was performed for the reaction of synthesis gas over an intimate mixture of methanol synthesis catalyst and Zeolon-500 (mixture of chabasite and erionite). The reaction temperature, pressur… more

Thermomechanical processing of 5083 aluminum to increase strength without increasing susceptibility to stress corrosion cracking

Description: 5083 aluminium with 25% cold work must be processed above 215/sup 0/C or below 70/sup 0/C to avoid forming continuous precipitate in the grain boundaries which makes the material susceptible to stress corrosion cracking. Time at temperature above 215/sup 0/C should be held to minimum (less than 30 min) to retain some strength from the 25% cold work.

Feasibility of using saturated solar ponds for brine unmixing. Final report

Description: The overall objective of this study was to investigate in the laboratory the feasibility of using saturated solar ponds for unmixing a brine of intermediate concentration into dilute and concentrated brine streams for salinity gradient energy conversion systems. This objective was accomplished by conducting experiments on laboratory saturated ponds using borax, potassium perchlorate, potassium nitrate, disodium phosphate and potassium alum. Results from ponds using borax, potassium nitrate and … more

Program planner's guide to geothermal development in California

Description: The resource base, status of geothermal development activities, and the state's energy flow are summarized. The present and projected geothermal share of the energy market is discussed. The public and private sector initiatives supporting geothermal development in California are described. These include legislation to provide economic incentives, streamline regulation, and provide planning assistance to local communities. Private sector investment, research, and development activities are also … more

Site selection and preliminary evaluation of potential solar-industrial-process-heat applications for federal buildings in Texas

Description: The potential for solr process heat applications for federal buildings in Texas is assessed. The three sites considered are Reese Air Force Base, Lubbock; Fort Bliss, El Paso; and Dyess Air Force Base, Abilene. The application at Lubbock is an electroplating and descaling facility for aircraft maintenance. The one at El Paso is a laundry facility. The Abilene system would use solar heat to preheat boiler feedwater makeup for the base hospital boiler plant. The Lubbock site is found to be the mo… more

Conceptual design study of geothermal district heating of a thirty-house subdivision in Elko, Nevada, using existing water-distribution systems, Phase III. Final technical report, October 1, 1979-September 30, 1980

Description: A conceptual design study for district heating of a 30-home subdivision located near the southeast extremity of the city of Elko, Nevada is presented. While a specific residential community was used in the study, the overall approach and methodologies are believed to be generally applicable for a large number of communities where low temperature geothermal fluid is available. The proposed district heating system utilizes moderate temperature, clean domestic water and existing community culinary… more

Model for ion confinement in a hot-electron tandem mirror anchor

Description: Anisotropic, hot electrons trapped in local minimum-B wells have been proposed as MHD-stabilizing anchors to an otherwise axisymmetric tandem configuration. This work describes a model for plasma confinement between the anchors and the remainder of the system and calcuates the power loss implied by maintenance of this plasma.
