Colloid transport code-nuclear user`s manual

This report describes the CTCN computer code, designed to solve the equations of transient colloidal transport of radionuclides in porous and fractured media. This Fortran 77 package solves systems of coupled nonlinear differential equations with a wide range of boundary conditions. The package uses the Method of Lines technique with a special section which forms finite-difference discretizations in up to four spatial dimensions to automatically convert the system into a set of ordinary differential equations. The CTCN code then solves these equations using a robust, efficient ODE solver. Thus CTCN can be used to solve population balance equations along with the usual transport equations to model colloid transport processes or as a general problem solver to treat up to four-dimensional differential systems.

Efficient ultrasonic grinding: a new technology for micron-sized coal. Quarterly technical progress report No. 2, December 16, 1979-March 15, 1980 (open access)

Efficient ultrasonic grinding: a new technology for micron-sized coal. Quarterly technical progress report No. 2, December 16, 1979-March 15, 1980

Work focused on establishing experimentally determined parameters for ultrasonic comminution and their translation into the design of an ultrasonic comminution array for Phase I testing. Early work indicated that continuous removal of fines during communition could significantly increase the production of -10 micron particles. Similarly, varying the mechanical gain of the ultrasonic comminution apparatus and thereby increasing the strain amplitude of the system was shown to enhance fines production. A gain of 3:1 (i.e., a three-fold increase in strain amplitude) produced the best results. These features used with an ultrasonic cylinder segment apparatus resulted in 276% increase in the production of -10 micron fines over that generated by passing coal through a non-activated control. Thus influenced, the design of the Phase I ultrasonic comminution apparatus will incorporate both a dual-roll and roller/plate capability; it will provide continuous flow of particles through the region of ultrasonic activation, thus permitting removal of fines as they are comminuted; and will function with a gain of 3:1. The Phase I apparatus also offers the flexibility of operating with either traveling or standing ultrasonic waves. Varying the physical configuration (dual-roller or roller plate) and the mode of ultrasonic activation (traveling or standing wave) allows for …

Development of Proof-of-Concept Units for the Advanced Medium-Sized Mobile Power Sources (AMMPS) Program

The purpose of this report is to document the development of the proof-of-concept units within the Advanced Medium-sized Mobile Power Sources (AMMPS) program. The design used a small, lightweight diesel engine, a permanent magnet alternator, power electronics and digital controls as outlined in the philosophy detailed previously. One small proof-of-concept unit was completed and delivered to the military. The unit functioned well but was not optimized at the time of delivery to the military. A tremendous amount of experience was gained during this phase that can be used in the development of any follow-on AMMPS production systems. Lessons learned and recommendations for follow-on specifications are provided. The unit demonstrated that significant benefits are possible with the new design philosophy. Trade-offs will have to be made but many of the advantages appear to be within the technical grasp of the market.

Prevention of Reservoir Interior Discoloration

Contamination is anathema in reservoir production. Some of the contamination is a result of welding and some appears after welding but existed before. Oxygen was documented to be a major contributor to discoloration in welding. This study demonstrates that it can be controlled and that some of the informal cleaning processes contribute to contamination.

TNX/HLW Long Shaft Pumps 1995-2000 (open access)

TNX/HLW Long Shaft Pumps 1995-2000

Problems with long shaft pumps are becoming clearer due to increased use, better instrumentation, more analysis, and increased testing activity. The problems are with reliability and not with hydraulic performance. The root cause of reliability problems is usually excessive vibration caused by design. The outlook for satisfactory pumps is improved as understanding of problems increases. Promising developments are emerging such as the tilt pad bearing. Alternative configurations, such as gas filled columns and submerged motor pumps, will require development. Continued development, in general, should be expected due to changing technology and industry changes. This report describes thirteen distinct pump programs starting with leakage of original mixer pumps in the 1980s and ending with the testing of tilt pad bearings now in progress. Eight of the programs occurred from 1996 to 2000. All involve long shaft pumps; all involve testing at TNX; and all involve a problem of some kind. The common technical issue among the activities is vibration and shaft (or rotor) instability due to journal bearings. In every case, excessive shaft vibration is a reasonable and probable explanation for some or all of the problems.
