Engine testing of ceramic cam-roller followers

Description: For several years, DDC has been developing monolithic ceramic heat engine components. One of the components, developed for an application in our state-of-the-art on-highway, heavy-duty diesel engine, the Series 60, is a silicon nitride cam-roller follower. Prior to starting this program, each valve train component in the Series 60 was considered for conversion to a ceramic material. Many advantages and disadvantages (benefits and risks) were considered. From this effort, one component was selec… more

Coal Liquefaction Process Streams Characterization and Evaluation: Ft-Ir Methods for Characterization of Coal Liquefaction Products

Description: This study was designed to demonstrate the use of two FTIR techniques for the analysis of direct coal liquefaction process-derived materials. The two methods were quantitative FTIR analysis and themogravimetric (TG) analysis with FTIR analysis of evolved products (TG-FTIR). The quantitative FTIR analyses of both whole resids and THF-soluble resids provided quantitation of total hydrogen, aliphatic and aromatic hydrogen, total carbon, total oxygen, hydroxyl and etheric oxygen, and ash contents. … more

Independent verification and validation of large software requirement specification databases

Description: To enhance quality, an independent verification and validation (IV V) review is conducted as software requirements are defined. Requirements are inspected for consistency and completeness. IV V strives to detect defects early in the software development life cycle and to prevent problems before they occur. The IV V review process of a massive software requirements specification, the Reserve Component Automation System (RCAS) Functional Description (FD) is explored. Analysis of the RCAS FD error… more

Development of a chemical kinetic measurement apparatus and the determination of the reaction rate constants for lithium-lead/water interaction

Description: An experimental set-up for accurate measurement of hydrogen generation rate in Lithium-Lead (Li[sub 17]Pb[sub 83]) Steam or water interactions has been designed. The most important features of the design include a pneumatic actuated quick opening and closing high temperature all stainless steel valve used to control the reaction time and the placement of most measuring devices below a water line to minimize leakage of the hydrogen collected. A PC based data acquisition and control system provid… more

Risk methodology for geologic disposal of radioactive waste

Description: This report contains the description of a procedure for selecting scenarios that are potentially important to the isolation of high- level radioactive wastes in deep geologic formations. In this report, the term scenario is used to represent a set of naturally occurring and/or human-induced conditions that represent realistic future states of the repository, geologic systems, and ground-water flow systems that might affect the release and transport of radionuclides from the repository to humans… more

Optical properties of flyash

Description: In this research program, we have adopted the approach that by measuring fundamental properties (i.e, the complex refractive index, m) of the fly ash which participates in the radiation transfer, we can use well established theoretical principles (Mie theory) to compute the radiative properties of dispersions of fly ash as found in coal combustors. With this approach one can, understand the underlying principles that affect the radiative properties of an ash dispersion and more confidently pred… more

The use of energy management and control systems for retrofit performance monitoring in the LoanSTAR program

Description: Monitoring of building energy consumption, operation, and weather variables are important parts of retrofit evaluation projects. However, effective monitoring can be quite expensive. In this report, we investigate the feasibility of using a building's existing energy management and control system (EMCS) for gathering some or all of this required data, rather than installing dedicated data-logging equipment. Three case studies in the Texas LoanSTAR retrofit monitoring program were used to explor… more

Engineering evaluation of the General Motors (GM) diesel rating and capabilities

Description: K-Reactor's number one GM diesel (GM-lK) suffered recurrent, premature piston pin bushing failures between July 1990 and January 1991. These failures raised a concern that the engine's original design capabilities were being exceeded. Were we asking old engines to do too much by powering 1200 kw (continuous) rated electrical generators Was excessive wear of the piston pin bushings a result of having exceeded the engine's capabilities (overload), or were the recent failures a direct result of po… more

Biological Conversion of Synthesis Gas

Description: The anaerobic, photosynthetic bacterium Rhodospirillum rubrum has been chosen for catalysis of the biological water gas shift reaction. In addition, two other anaerobic, photosynthetic bacteria, Chlorobium thiosulfatophilum and Chloroblum phaeobacteroides, have been evaluated as candidates for H{sub 2}S conversion to elemental sulfur. Growth and H{sub 2}S uptake studies in the presence of basal medium indicated that C. thlosulfatophilum is a much superior organism. C. phaeobacteroldes showed sp… more
