Cold flow model test plan. Task IX. Technical support. Industrial low-Btu gas demonstration-plant program. (Deliverable No. 43)

Description: A cold-flow model is being built to gather information for appropriately designing the venturi and the bottom section of the gasifier to attain the required ash discharge rate in the demonstration plant. Ancillary tasks will investigate the effect of different feed locations and different means of injecting fines. A model is necessary because the operating conditions of the pilot plant gasifier do not permit the type of testing required to meet the above objectives. The pilot plant gasifier has… more

Recalibration of P-2 standard ionization chamber

Description: Experimental and analytical techniques are described which permitted recalibration of the P-2 chamber's monoenergetic sensitivity based upon combined responses from a set of bremsstrahlung measurements, monoenergetic isotopic source measurements, and a monoenergetic gamma radiation produced by inelastic proton scattering. A novel technique is described for combining simultaneous knowledge of bremsstrahlung and monoenergetic response measurements with a statistically determined least structures … more

Project to demonstrate potential energy savings from industrial customers. Final report

Description: The full potential for electric load management was determined with respect to the industrial sector by adopting direct load management techniques. Certain options available to regulatory authorities and individual utilities to conserve energy are highlighted. By conducting a demonstration project on a representative sample of primary industrial customers, information could be obtained on the potential impact of direct load management methods and other end-use conservation programs on a system-… more

Analysis of the Madaras Rotor Power Plant: an alternate method for extracting large amounts of power from the wind. Volume 2. Technical report

Description: The purpose of the program was to analyze and up-date the design of the Madaras Rotor Power Plant concept that had been developed in the 1930's to determine the technical and economic feasibility of this system to be competitive with conventional horizontal axis wind turbines. A four-task program consisting of a series of wind tunnel tests, an electro-mechanical analysis, a performance analysis, and a cost analysis was conducted.

Power plant performance analysis and guidelines study. Appendix III. Reliability and efficiency index data

Description: Historical data from the EEI, FPC, NRC, FEA, and participating utilities were evaluated for each of the four reliability and efficiency indices recommended to the California Energy Commission. Data were not available for all unit sizes for the full period 1971 to 1975. However, the available data were analyzed to arrive at historical averages and ranges of averages for each of the recommended indices. Feasible ranges and averages of each index for units of different sizes and fuel types are pre… more

Solar central receiver prototype heliostat. Volume III. Cost estimates

Description: The Boeing heliostat design can be produced and installed for a Capital Cost of $42 per square meter at high commercial plant quantities and rates. This is 14% less than the DOE cost target. Even at a low commercial plant production rate of 25,000 heliostats per year the Capital Cost of $48 per square meter is 2% less than the cost goal established by the DOE. Projected capital costs and 30 year maintenance costs for three scenarios of production and installation are presented: (1) commercial r… more

A Search for New Particles with Lifetime 10**(-12) - 10**(-14) sec in Interactions of Protons with Nucleons and Nuclei in Emulsion at 400-GeV/c

Description: A stack of nuclear emulsions was irradiated by 400 Gev/c protons at FNAL. In this work a search for the short-lived particles has been carried out by a new method that allowed to detect secondary events (including the narrow ones) on short distances from the parent star. By measuring angles, momenta and ionizations of the secondary particles they could identify electrons and distinguish them from hadrons. In search for the decays of charged of particles on n{sub s} {ge} 3 charged relativistic p… more

A Possible Event of Charmed Particle Decay via the (Weak) Neutral Current According to a Scheme M(c) --> e+ e- Hadrons

Description: In a stack of nuclear emulsion irradiated by 200 Gev/c {pi}{sup -}-mesons at FNAL, we have made a search for new short-lived particles by tracing all secondary tracks from the star in a cone of 0 < 0,1 rad up to the distance of 1 mm. The sample of stars consisted of 350 {pi}{sup -} N- and 250 {pi}{sup -} A-interactions. They have found one peculiar event. Among {pi}{sup -} A-interactions there is star of type 21 + 6 + 23 p in which one secondary prong (0{sub L} = 4,6{sup o}) gives at the dis… more

Introduction to electric energy conversion systems for geothermal energy resources

Description: The types of geothermal energy conversion systems in use are classified as follows: direct, dry steam; separated steam; single-flash steam; double-flash steam; multi-flash steam; brine/Freon binary cycle; and brine/isobutane binary cycle.

Structural and energetic considerations of wave propagation in DNA

Description: An important dynamic aspect of DNA in solution is the presence of coupled motions in its structure that involve bending, stretching, unwinding, and shearing components. It is postulated that these motions arise from wave propagation in the polymer, excited through impulses generated by the random and continuous bombardment of DNA by solvent molecules along its length. This gives rise to travelling structural distortions in DNA that result in DNA breathing and in drug intercalation. These distor… more
