Aerial Gamma Ray and Magnetic Survey, Final Report. Volume 1: Thief River Falls, Grand Forks, Fargo, Milbank, Watertown, New Ulm and St. Cloud Quadrangles of North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota

Description: During the months of August and September, 1979, geoMetrics, Inc. collected 12,415 line miles of high sensitivity airborne radiometric and magnetic data in adjoining portions of South Dakota and Minnesota over seven 1 by 2 degree NTMS quadrangles (Thief River Falls, Grand Forks, Fargo, Milbank, Watertown, New Ulm, and St. Cloud). All radiometric and magnetic data were fully corrected and interpreted and are presented as eight volumes.

One-dimensional model calculations of EBT-P performance

Description: Model calculations are described for possible EBT-P designs using a one-dimensional, fluid-transport code. We begin by giving a detailed description of our most updated and complete version of the code itself, so that the appendix is, as far as practical, self-contained. Calculations were performed with the code for the EBT-1 experiment to compare with previous ORNL calculations. One-dimensional calculations for possible EBT-P experimental designs were presented.

Catalyst and process development for hydrogen preparation from future fuel cell feedstocks. Quarterly report July 1-September 30, 1979

Description: Work continued in the effort to develop catalysts and a process for the production of hydrogen from heavier fuels. Progress was made in developing the calculations required to compare the experimental results from the autothermal reforming of No. 2 oil with those predicted by thermodynamic equilibrium. A computer program called ATR-6 facilitates these calculations. A prescreening test is being developed to study steam reforming catalysts under controlled conditions with mixtures of pure compoun… more

Energy conservation in two northeastern cities: opportunities, problems, and prospects

Description: Policy assessment of energy conservation strategies has tended to emphasize technological and economic costs, problems, and benefits. However, too narrow a focus may fail to delineate all the environmental and social impacts associated with the technology in question. In recognition of the importance of a balanced evaluation, a study was undertaken to identify local-level perceptions about environmental and social problems and opportunities associated with several energy conservation measures. … more

Energy/material flows associated with cyclic petrochemicals

Description: A detailed product flow analysis, starting with the refinery reformate stream, was prepared to identify the major products of interest. The selection of the products and their derivatives for detailed analysis was based on 1978 consumption data which is reported. The products selected for detailed analysis were: Benzene (from Toluene), Polystyrene, Polyester fibers, Cyclohexane, Nylon 6,6, Nylon 6, ABS + SAN, Phenolic resins, Urethane foams, Unsaturated polyesters and SBR. Data on the selling p… more

Use of geothermal heat for sugar refining in Imperial County. Final environmental report

Description: The following aspects of the existing site environment are discussed: geology, hydrology, climatology, soils, air quality, noise, biology, archaeolocy, land use, and socioeconomics and demography. Also included are: the project description, environmental impacts and mitigation measures, unavoidable adverse impacts, reclamation and restoration, alternatives to the proposed project, irreversible and irretrievable commitments of resources, and regulatory compliance.

Solar diffusion in California: a pilot study. Consultant report

Description: Solar system owners and their neighbors in the San Francisco Bay Area were studied. The study determined the level of homeowner awareness about residential solar energy systems, described characteristics of consumers purchasing solar equipment (e.g. whether they represent identifiable market segments), identified major channels of communication through which solar information is effectively used, determined remaining barriers to solar use, identified needed incentives to accelerate commercializ… more

User's guide to EPIC, a computer program to calculate the motion of fuel and coolant subsequent to pin failure in an LMFBR

Description: The computer code EPIC models fuel and coolant motion which results from internal fuel pin pressure (from fission gas or fuel vapor) and possibly from the generation of sodium vapor pressure in the coolant channel subsequent to pin failure in a liquid-metal fast breeder reactor. The EPIC model is restricted to conditions where fuel pin geometry is generally preserved and is not intended to treat the total disruption of the pin structure. The modeling includes the ejection of molten fuel from th… more

Wigglers, beam emittance and energy spread

Description: Wigglers are used in storage rings to increase the beam emittance for maximum luminosity. If, however, a storage ring is used as a synchrotron light source a beam emittance as small as possible is desired. Also in special cases in high energy physics research a large luminosity achieved with wigglers may not be the optimum running configuration. Together with an increase of the beam emittance also the energy spread of the beam is increased. This increase reduces the eventrate for narrow resonan… more

Is it possible to improve the eventrate for narrow resonances in SPEAR and PEP

Description: The eventrate at narrow resonances, like the /psi//J and /Tau/ resonances, is not only determined by the luminosity of the e/sup +/ and e /sup /minus// storage ring but also by the energy spread in the beam due to synchrotron radiation. This energy spread is much larger than the width of the resonances. Therefore, if the energy spread could be reduced by a factor F the eventrate would increase by the same factor.

Determination of PSEUDOGAP state density and carrier mobility in r. f. sputtered amorphous silicon. Quarterly technical progress report, July 1, 1979-September 30, 1979

Description: Apparatus has been designed and assembled to perform field effect measurements using two different sample configurations. Preliminary measurements indicate that the field effect response is smaller than expected in view of the results quoted by other workers on silane-derived a-Si:H and the overall similarity in other opto-electronic properties. Some inconsistency has been observed between nominally identical samples, which may be related either to uncontrolled variables of our deposition proce… more

One and one-half dimensional model of the EBT reactor

Description: A one-dimensional, time-dependent model is described for plasma particle and energy transport and alpha particle transport coupled with magnetic field evolution in a geometry appropriate to EBT. The transport equations used are derived from exact moments of the Boltzmann equation, and the magnetic field is calculated from Faraday's and Ampere's laws. The set of transport equations is closed by incorporating into them transport coefficiencents derived from the appropriate kinetic equation. Also … more
