Ultrasonic Studies of the Fundamental Mechanisms of Recrystallization and Sintering of Metals

Description: The purpose of this project was to develop a fundamental understanding of the interaction of an ultrasonic wave with complex media, with specific emphases on recrystallization and sintering of metals. A combined analytical, numerical, and experimental research program was implemented. Theoretical models of elastic wave propagation through these complex materials were developed using stochastic wave field techniques. The numerical simulations focused on finite element wave propagation solutions … more

Understanding Long-Term Solute Transport in Sedimentary Basins: Simulating Brine Migration in the Alberta Basin. Final Report

Description: Mass transport in deep sedimentary basins places important controls on ore formation, petroleum migration, CO2 sequestration, and geochemical reactions that affect petroleum reservoir quality, but large-scale transport in this type of setting remains poorly understood. This lack of knowledge is highlighted in the resource-rich Alberta Basin, where geochemical and hydrogeologic studies have suggested residence times ranging from hundreds of millions of years to less than 5 My, respectively. Here… more

Understanding the Nature and Reactivity of Residual Lignin for Improved Pulping and Bleaching Efficiency

Description: One of the most formidable challenges in kraft pulping to produce bleached chemical pulps is how to effectively remove the last 5-10% of lignin while maintaining the fiber quality. To avoid a severe fiber degradation, kraft pulping is usually terminated in the 25-30 kappa number range and then followed by an elementally chlorine free (ECF) or a totally chlorine free (TCF) bleaching sequence to reduce the environmental impacts.

Utilizing Electric Vehicles to Assist Integration of Large Penetrations of Distributed Photovoltaic Generation Capacity

Description: Executive Summary Introduction and Motivation This analysis provides the first insights into the leveraging potential of distributed photovoltaic (PV) technologies on rooftop and electric vehicle (EV) charging. Either of the two technologies by themselves - at some high penetrations – may cause some voltage control challenges or overloading problems, respectively. But when combined, there – at least intuitively – could be synergistic effects, whereby one technology mitigates the negative impact… more

VA Laundry Service: Consolidations and Competitive Sourcing Could Save Millions

Description: A letter report issued by the General Accounting Office with an abstract that begins "The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) runs 67 laundries that serve patients in its hospitals, nursing homes, and domiciliaries. Most of the operating costs for these laundries are for labor. VA could reduce these costs by closing 13 of its 67 facilities and moving those workloads to its underused laundries. VA could make more efficient use of its existing facilities and save money by closing costly laundries… more

Vadose Zone Transport Field Study: Status Report

Description: Studies were initiated at the Hanford Site to evaluate the process controlling the transport of fluids in the vadose zone and to develop a reliable database upon which vadose-zone transport models can be calibrated. These models are needed to evaluate contaminant migration through the vadose zone to underlying groundwaters at Hanford. A study site that had previously been extensively characterized using geophysical monitoring techniques was selected in the 200 E Area. Techniques used previously… more

Variable Moderator Reactor Development Program. Quarterly Progress Report No. 2

Description: The hydrodynamics code BOCH was used to obtain the relationship between a large number of variables such as voids, flux, pin spacing, power density, and pressure for VMR lattices. Based upon these relationships, a reference core design was selected for examination, using the integrated physics and hydrodynamics analytical modeis. The analog representations of the VMR core kinetics describing the individual blocks of a model block diagram were completed. A simplified core physics analysis was co… more

Volume reduction system for solid and liquid TRU waste from the nuclear fuel cycle: April--June 1977

Description: The Cyclone Incinerator development this quarter was concentrated on testing a particular liquid feed and burn system. The liquids tested were limited to tributyl phosphate in kerosene and oil-based vacuum pump oil. The tests established that the system worked as designed and built; that tributyl phosphate (TBP), as much as 30% by weight in kerosene, would burn readily; and that the scrubber system collects and neutralizes phosphoric acid which results from the combustion of TBP. Ash immobiliza… more

A Vorticity-Divergence Global Semi-Lagrangian Spectral Model for the Shallow Water Equations

Description: The shallow water equations modeling flow on a sphere are useful for the development and testing of numerical algorithms for atmospheric climate and weather models. A new formulation of the shallow water equations is derived which exhibits an advective form for the vorticity and divergence. This form is particularly well suited for numerical computations using a semi-Lagrangian spectral discretization. A set of test problems, standard for the shallow water equations on a sphere, are solved and … more
