Energy study of ship-transportation systems: a progress briefing by Booz, Allen Transportation Consulting Division

The study objectives are presented. Summary information on energy consumed and required in the marine transportation sector are included. Model outputs, a logic flowchart, information on a cost analysis approach, and fuel consumption and life-cycle cost methodologies are presented. Information is given on Task II (Potential Case Studies) and on Task III (Conservation Research and Development). Additional information on bottom-cycle applications and fuel consumption of diesel engines is given. (MCW)

Computer code for calculating personnel doses due to tritium exposures (open access)

Computer code for calculating personnel doses due to tritium exposures

This report describes a computer code written in LLL modified Fortran IV that can be used on a CDC 7600 for calculating personnel doses due to exposures to tritium. The critical organ is body water. The code is capable of handling various exposure situations, and is also capable of detecting a large variety of data input errors that would lead to errors in the dose assessment.

Generalized shaped charge design. Final report, October 1975--October 1976 (open access)

Generalized shaped charge design. Final report, October 1975--October 1976

A series of shaped charge devices were designed and tested. The tests showed that by combining detailed Lagrange calculations of liner collapse with simplified incompressible flow models, the explosive and liner contours of the charge can be tailored to yield either constant velocity jets, stretching jets, or converging jets. Measured liner velocity was within 10 percent of theory, except for details near the apex and close to slide planes. It was found that the effects of liner convergence and viscosity had to be included in the incompressible flow models to accurately correlate liner velocity, collapse angles, and jet velocity.
