1988 Wet Deposition Temporal and Spatial Patterns in North America

Description: The focus of this report is on North American wet deposition temporal patterns from 1979 to 1988 and spatial patterns for 1988. It is the third in a series of reports that investigate the patterns of annual precipitation-weighted average concentration and annual deposition for nine ion species: hydrogen, sulfate, nitrate, ammonium, calcium, chloride, sodium, potassium, and magnesium. Mosaic maps, based on surface estimation using kriging, display concentration and deposition spatial patterns of… more

1992 Conversion Resources Supply Document

Description: In recent years conservation of electric power has become an integral part of utility planning. The 1980 Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning and Conservation Act (Northwest Power Act) requires that the region consider conservation potential in planning acquisitions of resources to meet load growth. The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) developed its first estimates of conservation potential in 1982. Since that time BPA has updated its conservation supply analyses as a part of its Reso… more

Achieving major energy efficiency improvements in manufactured housing

Description: In the Residential Construction Demonstration Project (RCDP), the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) worked with regional manufacturers to build 150 manufactured homes that met the Northwest Power Planning Council's (NWPPC's) Model Conservation Standards (MCS) for residential energy efficiency. Data on energy use and cost-effectiveness were analyzed, and the experience of manufacturers, dealers, and consumers were studied. This paper discusses the findings of the project and looks at the fut… more

Advanced heat pump for the recovery of volatile organic compounds

Description: Emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) from stationary industrial and commercial sources represent a substantial portion of the total US VOC emissions. The Toxic-Release Inventory'' of The US Environmental Protection Agency estimates this to be at about 3 billion pounds per year (1987 estimates). The majority of these VOC emissions are from coating processes, cleaning processes, polymer production, fuel production and distribution, foam blowing,refrigerant production, and wood products p… more

Advanced techniques in current signature analysis

Description: In general, both ac and dc motors can be characterized as weakly nonlinear systems, in which both linear and nonlinear effects occur simultaneously. Fortunately, the nonlinearities are generally well behaved and understood and an be handled via several standard mathematical techniques already well developed in the systems modeling area; examples are piecewise linear approximations and Volterra series representations. Field measurements of numerous motors and motor-driven systems confirm the rat… more

Affordable housing through energy efficiency: The Northgate story

Description: In this paper we evaluate a comprehensive retrofit and rehabilitation effort to improve the comfort, affordability, and energy efficiency of 336 low-income housing units. The units had complete shell retrofits, including new siding, air-infiltration barriers, new windows and doors, and both roof and foundation insulation. In addition, the existing electric-baseboard heating system was replaced with a new gas-fired boiler for each apartment. New programmable thermostats, refrigerators, and tenan… more

Alkaline flooding injection strategy

Description: The objective of this project is to improved alkali-surfactant flooding methods, and this includes determining the proper design of injection strategy. Several different injection strategies have been used or suggested for recovering heavy oils with surfactant-enhanced alkaline flooding methods. Oil recovery was compared for four different injection strategies: (1) surfactant followed by polymer, (2) surfactant followed by alkaline polymer, (3) alkaline surfactant followed by polymer, and (4) a… more

Alternative formulations of the Laplace transform boundary element (LTBE) numerical method for the solution of diffusion-type equations

Description: The Laplace Transform Boundary Element (LTBE) method is a recently introduced numerical method, and has been used for the solution of diffusion-type PDEs. It completely eliminates the time dependency of the problem and the need for time discretization, yielding solutions numerical in space and semi-analytical in time. In LTBE solutions are obtained in the Laplace spare, and are then inverted numerically to yield the solution in time. The Stehfest and the DeHoog formulations of LTBE, based on tw… more

Amplification and damping of synchrotron oscillations via a parametric process

Description: A two-channel mode based feedback system for the control of barycentric and {pi} mode synchrotron oscillations in the Stanford Linear Collider damping rings is presented. This system uses a parametric amplifier/damper to control the {pi} mode and does not require a wideband RF cavity to drive the two bunches. Laboratory results from the SLC are presented which show amplification or damping of {pi} mode oscillations with 100--400 {mu}s amplitude time constants. 7 refs.

Analysis of a Dedicated Rotation Experiment in TFTR

Description: The results and analysis of a well-diagnosed, dedicated rotation experiment in TFTR are presented. Various neoclassical and anomalous theories for momentum transport are described and compared with the experimental data. The gyroviscocity theory is able to predict the measured central toroidal rotation speed, momentum confinement time and radial torque flow profile reasonably well when a poloidal asymmetry factor {tilde {Theta}} = 1.5 is used. The cold-ion-perpendicular-viscocity theory require… more

Analysis of air pollution and greenhouse gases

Description: The current objective of the project Analysis of Air Pollution and Greenhouse Gases'' is to develop a study of emissions and emission sources that could easily be linked to models of economic activity. Initial studies were conducted to evaluate data currently available linking activity rates and emissions estimates. The emissions inventory developed for the National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program (NAPAP) presents one of the most comprehensive data sets, and was chosen for our initial stu… more

Analysis of magnetic measurement data by least squares fit to series expansion solution of 3-D Laplace equation

Description: The authors have analyzed simulated magnetic measurements data for the SXLS bending magnet in a plane perpendicular to the reference axis at the magnet midpoint by fitting the data to an expansion solution of the 3-dimensional Laplace equation in curvilinear coordinates as proposed by Brown and Servranckx. The method of least squares is used to evaluate the expansion coefficients and their uncertainties, and compared to results from an FFT fit of 128 simulated data points on a 12-mm radius circ… more
