Air velocity profiles near sleeve blockages in an unheated 7 x 7 rod bundle. [PWR]

Description: Local air velocity measurements were obtained with a laser Doppler anemometer near flow blockages in an unheated 7 x 7 rod bundle. Sleeve blockages were positioned on the center nine rods to create an area reduction of 90% in the center four subchannels of the bundle. Experimental results indicated that severe flow disturbances occurred downstream from the blockage cluster but showed only minor flow disturbances upstream from the blockage. Flow reversals were detected downstream from the blocka… more

Analysis of the early phase of tokamak plasma ohmic heating

Description: A study of ohmically heated tokamak systems has been performed in which the evolution of the plasma is followed through the initiation period up to 100 eV. A zero-dimensional model of the bulk plasma is utilized, with a one-dimensional model of the plasma inductance. Losses due to ionization and oxygen impurity processes are evaluated using the best available atomic data. The total OH system energy expended in forming and heating the plasma up to a reference temperature of 100 eV is calculated … more

Analysis of the heat and mass transfer processes of a UO/sub 2/ bubble in sodium for the Fuel Aerosol Simulant Test (FAST). [LMFBR]

Description: The anticipated behavior of uranium oxide vapor bubbles produced by the capacitor discharge vaporization (CDV) method in the Fuel Aerosol Simulant Test (FAST) Facility is discussed on the basis of relatively simple physical models. Results of calculations for the rate of bubble rise and for heat and mass transfer rates are presented. Parametric studies indicate that future analysis efforts should emphasize the diffusion condensation process and the loss of heat from the bubble by radiation. Tra… more

Analysis of the Z dependence of laser generated suprathermal electron temperature

Description: Recent experiments with high Z disks on the Argus facility have exteanded our knowledge of the temperature (inferred from the slope of the hard x-ray spectrum) of laser generated suprathermal electrons, from the previous regime of 1 less than or equal to Z less than or equal to 30 to the Z approx. = 80 regime. The systematic rise of temperature with Z is theoretically analyzed. We believe that material albedoes (electron reflectivity) which increase with Z can account for this behavior, since e… more

Annual environmental monitoring report, January--December 1978. [Stanford Linear Accelerator Center]

Description: Environmental monitoring results continue to demonstrate that, except for penetrating radiation, environmental radiological impact due to SLAC operation is not distinguishable from natural environmental sources. During 1978, the maximum neutron dose near the site boundary was 6.6 mrem. This represents about 6.6% of the annual dose from natural sources at this elevation, and 1.3% of the technical standard of 500 mrem per person annually. There have been no measurable increases in radioactivity i… more

Application of foams to the processing of fabrics. Interim report, October 1, 1977-March 31, 1979

Description: The primary objective of this project is to reduce the energy requirements for finishing fabrics by drastically reducing the water required to wet process the fabrics. Since less water is used, less energy is consumed in the evaporation of water. This is accomplished by replacing much of the water with air, making a foam and using it as the application medium. In the first six months of the project the practicality of foam fabric finishing on a commercial basis had been established. Limited yar… more
