Coal gasifier is one of the most promising solutions for clean fossil energy. Refractory thickness monitoring and online real-time temperature measurement is needed for improved reliability and advanced process control for current and future generation power plants. The objective of this program is to design and implement an optical fiber based sensing system that could potentially be used to monitor refractory wall thickness and temperature inside a coal gasifier. For the thickness monitoring, the system should be able to operate at temperatures up to 1000 C. For this temperature range, silica fiber can still work so it is chosen for the sensor design. The measurement is based on a photon counting optical time domain reflectometer. A narrow light pulse is launched into a silica fiber which could be embedded into the gasifier refractory wall, and is partially reflected by the far end of the fiber. The time of flight of the light pulse in the fiber then gives an indication of the position of the fiber end, which is a function of the wall thickness when the fiber is embedded. Results obtained show a measurement accuracy of {+-}2cm in environment of 1000 C with a saw cut fiber end. When …

The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with James G Rabalais. Rabalais joined the Army in 1943 and volunteered for parachute school. He joined the 188th Parachute Regiment in the Philippines, training on bazookas and flamethrowers while there. He was assigned to patrol jungle areas and never encountered any enemies. In preparation for the invasion of Japan, he made test jumps out of modified B-24 bomb bays; normally, he would jump from C-46 Commandos and C-54 Skymasters. After the surrender, he was instructed to scale a mountain in Japan with the goal of contacting people on the other side, but the snow was too deep. Rabalais returned home and was discharged in 1946.

The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an interview with Leslie Collins. Collins joined the Army in 1942. He completed eight weeks of infantry training and then traveled to Australia and New Guinea with the 41st Division and participated in eleven beach landings. While overseas he volunteered to serve as a combat medic, though having had little training. He provides some details of combat in the jungles of New Guinea, the natives and the materials he used as a medic on the island. Collins was one of 33 in his medical outfit, and only 2 were not killed or wounded. They made a landing on Hollandia, where Collins describes the Japanese bombing their outfit. He also served in the Philippines until August of 1945. He was discharged in January of 1946.

The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with Herbert Hinckley. Hinckley joined the Navy after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Upon completion of radio school he was assigned to USS LST-391. Shuttling supplies between Oran and Tunisia, he survived extensive bombings which haunted him for some time after the war. At Sicily, with Army Air Forces paratroopers caught in friendly fire, Hinckley frantically relayed a ceasefire message to an unsympathetic captain who was more concerned with the Stukas overhead. After taking Palermo, Hinckley was sitting at a dinner table when German soldiers arrived, asking to surrender. In Salerno, his LST took badly burned men onboard, and at Naples he was strafed. His LST was then fitted with rails to enable delivery of boxcars to France. Hinckley’s LST brought Patton’s jeep to Normandy. After Hinckley’s LST was sunk three times in Cherbourg, he was reassigned to the Pacific, finishing the war on LST-112. After his discharge in January 1946, he embarked on a career in the Air Force, ultimately becoming chief of flight medicine at Dyess Air Force Base.
