Flight Tests of a Curtiss No. 838-1C2-18 Three-Blade Propeller Having Trailing-Edge Extensions (open access)

Flight Tests of a Curtiss No. 838-1C2-18 Three-Blade Propeller Having Trailing-Edge Extensions

"Flight tests to determine propeller performance have been made of a Curtiss No. 838-102-18 three-blade propeller having trailing-edge extensions on a Republic P-47D-28 airplane in climb and high speed. These tests are a part of a general propeller flight-test program at the Langley Laboratory of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics. Results of climb tests indicate that when power is changed from approximately 1475 horsepower at 2550 rpm (roughly normal power) to 2400 horsepower at 2700 rpm (approximately military power) there is a loss in propeller efficiency of 3 percent at an altitude of 7000 feet, and 4 percent at 21,000 feet" (p. 1).

Near-field dispersal modeling for liquid fuel-air explosives (open access)

Near-field dispersal modeling for liquid fuel-air explosives

The near-field, explosive dispersal of a liquid into air has been explored using a combination of analytical and numerical models. The near-field flow regime is transient, existing only as long as the explosive forces produced by the detonation of the burster charge dominate or are approximately equal in magnitude to the aerodynamic drag forces on the liquid. The near-field model provides reasonable initial conditions for the far-field model, which is described in a separate report. The near-field model consists of the CTH hydrodynamics code and a film instability model. In particular, the CTH hydrodynamics code is used to provide initial temperature, pressure, and velocity fields, and bulk material distribution for the far-field model. The film instability model is a linear stability model for a radially expanding fluid film, and is used to provide a lower bound on the breakup time and an upper and lower bound on the initial average drop diameter for the liquid following breakup. Predictions of the liquid breakup time and the initial arithmetic average drop diameter from the model compare favorably with the sparse experimental data. 26 refs., 20 figs., 8 tabs.

Thermoacoustic natural gas liquefier (open access)

Thermoacoustic natural gas liquefier

This is the final report of a two-year, Laboratory-Directed Research and Development (LDRD) project at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). This project sought to develop a natural-gas-powered natural-gas liquefier that has absolutely no moving parts and requires no electrical power. It should have high efficiency, remarkable reliability, and low cost. The thermoacoustic natural-gas liquefier (TANGL) is based on our recent invention of the first no-moving-parts cryogenic refrigerator. In short, our invention uses acoustic phenomena to produce refrigeration from heat, with no moving parts. The required apparatus comprises nothing more than heat exchangers and pipes, made of common materials, without exacting tolerances. Its initial experimental success in a small size lead us to propose a more ambitious application: large-energy liquefaction of natural gas, using combustion of natural gas as the energy source. TANGL was designed to be maintenance-free, inexpensive, portable, and environmentally benign.

RECYCLE OF UO$sub 2$F$sub 2$ IN THE FLUOROX PROCESS: REACTION OF UO$sub 2$F$sub 2$ WITH HYDROGEN (open access)

RECYCLE OF UO$sub 2$F$sub 2$ IN THE FLUOROX PROCESS: REACTION OF UO$sub 2$F$sub 2$ WITH HYDROGEN

The reaction of U0/sub 2/F/sub 2/ with hydrogen at 700 to 850 deg C was briefly investigated since it could constitute a major step in the recycle of U0/ sub 2/F/sub 2/ in the Fluorox process. The reaction in this temperature range proceeds according to the equation U0/sub 2/F/sub 2/ + H/sub 2/ yields U0/sub 2/ + 2 HF. Rates of the chemical reaction were not obtsined, since, with the thermogravimetric technique used, the rate-controlling process was bed diffusion. However, there is no doubt that the rate of chemical reaction is sufficiently high for the desired application. No significant amount of UF/sub 4/ was formed by the back-reaction, U0/sub 2/ + 4 HF yields UF/sub 4/ + 2 H/sub 2/0. (auth)

The effect of ICRF antenna phasing on metal impurities in TFTR (open access)

The effect of ICRF antenna phasing on metal impurities in TFTR

ICRF power levels of up to 2.8 MW were achieved during the 1988 experimental run on TFTR. Metal impurity concentrations (Ti, Cr, Fe, Ni) and Z/sub eff/ were monitored during ICRF heating by x-ray pulse height analysis and uv spectroscopy. Antenna phasing was the key variable affecting ICRF performance. No increase in metallic impurities was observed for P/sub rf//approx lt/ 2.8 MW with the antenna straps 0-/Pi/, while a measurable increase in titanium (Faraday screen material) was observed for P/sub rf/ /approx gt/ 1.0 MW with 0-0 phasing. 18 refs., 8 figs.

Electrical substation service-area estimation using Cellular Automata: An initial report (open access)

Electrical substation service-area estimation using Cellular Automata: An initial report

The service areas for electric power substations can be estimated using a Cellular Automata (CA) model. The CA model is a discrete, iterative process whereby substations acquire service area by claiming neighboring cells. The service area expands from a substation until a neighboring substation service area is met or the substation`s total capacity or other constraints are reached. The CA-model output is dependent on the rule set that defines cell interactions. The rule set is based on a hierarchy of quantitative metrics that represent real-world factors such as land use and population density. Together, the metrics determine the rate of cell acquisition and the upper bound for service area size. Assessing the CA-model accuracy requires comparisons to actual service areas. These actual service areas can be extracted from distribution maps. Quantitative assessment of the CA-model accuracy can be accomplished by a number of methods. Some are as simple as finding the percentage of cells predicted correctly, while others assess a penalty based on the distance from an incorrectly predicted cell to its correct service area. This is an initial report of a work in progress.

Reactor safety issues resolved by the 2D/3D Program. International Agreement Report (open access)

Reactor safety issues resolved by the 2D/3D Program. International Agreement Report

The 2D/3D Program studied multidimensional thermal-hydraulics in a PWR core and primary system during the end-of-blowdown and post-blowdown phases of a large-break LOCA (LBLOCA), and during selected small-break LOCA (SBLOCA) transients. The program included tests at the Cylindrical Core Test Facility (CCTF), the Slab Core Test Facility (SCTF), and the Upper Plenum Test Facility (UPTF), and computer analyses using TRAC. Tests at CCTF investigated core thermal-hydraulics and overall system behavior while tests at SCTF concentrated on multidimensional core thermal-hydraulics. The UPTF tests investigated two-phase flow behavior in the downcomer, upper plenum, tie plate region, and primary loops. TRAC analyses evaluated thermal-hydraulic behavior throughout the primary system in tests as well as in PWRs. This report summarizes the test and analysis results in each of the main areas where improved information was obtained in the 2D/3D Program. The discussion is organized in terms of the reactor safety issues investigated.
