Computer code for the transfer function of seismic systems

Description: A computer code was written to compute amplitude and phase transfer functions for various mechanical and electromagnetic seismic systems by use of analytical functions found in the literature. It can be used to compute transfer functions for the World-Wide Standard Seismic Network (WWSSN) system, the Seismic Research Observatory (SRO) system, the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory (LLL) system, the Wiechert system, the Wood-Anderson system, and other user-specified systems. 15 figures, 3 tables.

Eddy Currents in the NSLS Vacuum Chamber

Description: As the applied magnetic fields are increased during acceleration, eddy currents are induced in the vacuum chamber. These result in magnetic field perturbations which we shall estimate for the Booster and X-Ray Rings. Our calculation follows that of Asner, in particular, we use image currents to satisfy the boundary conditions imposed by the iron poles of the magnets. The strength of the magnetic field perturbations is roughly three times greater with the iron poles present than absent.

Fast-Mixed Spectrum Reactor Interim Report Initial Feasibility Study.

Description: The report summarizes the results of an initial four-month feasibility study of the Fast-Mixed Spectrum Reactor (FMSR). Reactor physics, fuel cycle, and thermal-hydraulic analyses were performed on a reference design. These results when coupled to a fuel and materials evaluation performed in cooperation with the Argonne National laboratory indicate that the FMSR is feasible provided the fuels, cladding, and subassembly ducts can survive a peak fuel burnup of 15 to 20 atom percent heavy metal an… more

Geological disposal investigations in granite at the Nevada test site

Description: The Climax stock at NTS was the site of weapons effects tests and is to be used for radwaste disposal studies. The layout of Climax and proposed experiments is illustrated. Geology of Climax is described briefly. Thermal tests showed the thermal conductivity to be essentially isotropic, only slightly temperature-dependent, and 3.0 W/m-/sup 0/K. Permeability is less than 1 nanodarcy. Plans for a spent fuel storage test and for rock mechanics tests are described. (DLC)

Phase 2 of the Array Automated Assembly Task for the Low Cost Solar Array Project. Quarterly report 5, October 1-December 31, 1978

Description: Various top contact metal systems have been studied. Only Ti-Pd-Cu approaches baseline (Ti-Pd-Ag) quality, but this system shows a lack of long-term stability. Aluminum back surface field structures have been fabricated and thicknesses of p/sup +/ material of up to 7.0 microns have been achieved with open circuit voltages of 0.59V. A general purpose ultrasonic welder has been purchased and tests using various metal foils are under way. During fabrication of the demonstration module, several cel… more

Recuperative system for high and ultra-high temperature flue gases. Final report

Description: Advanced recuperative system technology for high and ultra-high temperature flue gases was investigated. Several high temperature recuperator system and component concepts were evolved and studied for the purpose of finding the schemes and designs that attain maximum fuel savings. The most promising concepts for industrial application were pre-engineered further to devise designs for adaptation to existing steel mills. The principal effort was aimed at steel soaking pit applications. The concep… more

Selenide Isotope Generator for the Galileo Mission: Safety Test Plan

Description: The intent of this safety test plan is to outline particular kinds of safety tests designed to produce information which would be useful in the safety analysis process. The program deals primarily with the response of the RTG to accident environments; accordingly two criteria were established: (1) safety tests should be performed for environments which are the most critical in terms of risk contribution; and (2) tests should be formulated to determine failure conditions for critical heat source… more

Development and Demonstration of Energy-Conserving Drying Modifications to Textile Processes. Part II, Phase III Extension of DOE Contract

Description: Experiments with the Machnozzle are reported and they indicate that significant amounts of energy can be saved during drying in industrial processes. The Machnozzle is now viewed as a vacuum slot acting in reverse, that is, a device in which a relatively large pressure differential across the fabric can be obtained. The problem of steam condensation in the Machnozzle was discussed in the reporting period and a mathematical simulation of steam can dryer has been initiated to continue the develop… more
