Configurational diffusion of asphaltenes in fresh and aged catalyst extrudates. Quarterly progress report, September 20, 1991--December 20, 1991 (open access)

Configurational diffusion of asphaltenes in fresh and aged catalyst extrudates. Quarterly progress report, September 20, 1991--December 20, 1991

The objective of this research is to determine the relationship between the size and shape of coal and petroleum macromolecules and their diffusion rates i.e., effective diffusivities, in catalyst pore structures. That is, how do the effective intrapore diffusivities depend on molecule configuration and pore geometry.

Innovative Clean Coal Technology (ICCT): 500 MW demonstration of advanced wall-fired combustion techniques for the reduction of nitrogen oxide (NO{sub x}) emissions from coal-fired boilers. Technical progress report, fourth quarter 1991 (open access)

Innovative Clean Coal Technology (ICCT): 500 MW demonstration of advanced wall-fired combustion techniques for the reduction of nitrogen oxide (NO{sub x}) emissions from coal-fired boilers. Technical progress report, fourth quarter 1991

This quarterly report discusses the technical progress of an Innovative Clean Coal Technology (ICCT) demonstration of advanced wall-fired combustion techniques for the reduction of nitrogen oxide (NO{sub x}) emissions from coal-fired boilers. The project is being conducted at Georgia Power Company`s Plant Hammond Unit 4 located near Rome, Georgia. The primary goal of this project is the characterization of the low NO{sub x} combustion equipment through the collection and analysis of long-term emissions data. A target of achieving fifty percent NO{sub x} reduction using combustion modifications has been established for the project. The project provides a stepwise retrofit of an advanced overfire air (AOFA) system followed by low NO{sub x} burners (LNB). During each test phase of the project, diagnostic, performance, long-term, and verification testing will be performed. These tests are used to quantify the NO{sub x} reductions of each technology and evaluate the effects of those reductions on other combustion parameters such as parameters such as particulate characteristics and boiler efficiency.

Characterization of high-power RF structures using time-domain field codes (open access)

Characterization of high-power RF structures using time-domain field codes

We have modeled gyrotron windows and gyrotron amplifier sever structures for TE modes in the 100--150 GHz range and have computed the reflection and transmission characteristics from the field data. Good agreement with frequency domain codes and analytic analysis have been obtained for some simple geometries. We present results for realistic structures with lossy coatings and describe implementation of microwave diagnostics.

Hazardous metals in yellow items used in RCAs (open access)

Hazardous metals in yellow items used in RCAs

Yellow items used in Radiologically Controlled Areas (RCAs) that could contain hazardous metals were identified. X-ray fluorescence analyses indicated that thirty of the fifty-two items do contain hazardous metals. It is important to minimize the hazardous metals put into the wastes. The authors recommend that the specifications for all yellow items stocked in Stores be changed to specify that they contain no hazardous metals.

Full-Scale Demonstration Low-NO{sub x} Cell{trademark} Burner retrofit. Quarterly report No. 7, April 1, 1992--June 30, 1992 (open access)

Full-Scale Demonstration Low-NO{sub x} Cell{trademark} Burner retrofit. Quarterly report No. 7, April 1, 1992--June 30, 1992

The LNCB{trademark} project involves retrofitting the two-nozzle cell burners at Dayton Power & Light`s, 605 HWe J.M. Stuart Unit {number_sign}4 Boiler near Aberdeen, Ohio with LNCB{trademark} (a burner and intregal NOx port). Previous pilot-scale tests have shown such an arrangement to achieve 50% reduction in NOx emission levels. This full-scale project will determine the commercial applicability of this technology. Fabrication and installation of all materials for the burner inversion and impeller change was completed during this quarter. The outage work, which began April 27th and concluded with the unit returning on line May 9th, went very smoothly. The parametric testing phase of the project actually began May 14th after correcting test equipment problems. Preliminary results show that the impeller change and burner inversion were successful. The Low NOx Cell{trademark} burners achieved better than 50% NOx reduction and carbon monoxide (CO) inside the lower furnace is less than 1000 ppm.

Testing the Superweak Theory of CP Violation in Neutral B Decays (open access)

Testing the Superweak Theory of CP Violation in Neutral B Decays

In order to rule out the superweak theory for CP violation, future experiments will try to find a difference between the CP-violating asymmetries in the decays B{sup 0} {yields} {psi} K{sub s} and B{sup 0} {yields} {pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup {minus}}. However, Winstein recently noted that, for some acceptable values of the CKM parameters, the standard model would give equal asymmetry parameters for these decays just as the superweak theory does. In this paper we show that, by considering both tree and penguin contributions to the decay amplitudes, the test can still be effective if a third asymmetry is measured with enough precision.

Permeation rates for RTF metal hydride vessels (open access)

Permeation rates for RTF metal hydride vessels

Contamination rates have been estimated for the RTF nitrogen heating and cooling system (NH and CS) due to tritium permeation through the walls of metal hydride vessels. Tritium contamination of the NH and CS will be seen shortly after start-up of the RTF with the majority of it coming from the TCAP units. Contamination rates of the NH and CS are estimated to exceed 400 Ci/year after three years of operation and will elevate tritium concentrations in the NH and CS above 6 {times} 10{sup {minus}3} {mu}Ci/cc. To reduce tritium activity in the NH and CS, a stripper or ``getter`` bed may need to be installed in the NH and CS. Increasing the purge rate of nitrogen from the NH and CS is shown to be an impractical method for reducing tritium activity due to the high purge rates required. Stripping of the NH and CS nitrogen in the glove box stripper system will give a temporary lowering of tritium activity in the NH and CS, but tritium activity will return to its previous level in approximately two weeks.

A Task Adaptive parallel graphics renderer (open access)

A Task Adaptive parallel graphics renderer

This paper presents a graphics renderer which incorporates new partitioning methodologies of memory and work for efficient execution on a parallel computer. The Task Adaptive domain decomposition scheme is an image space method involving dynamic partitioning of rectangular pixel area tasks. The author shows that this method requires little overhead, allows coherence within a parallel context, handles worst case scenarios effectively, and executes efficiently with little processor synchronization necessary. Previous research in the area of memory and work decompositions for graphics rendering has been primarily limited to simulation studies and little practical experience. The algorithm presented here has been implemented on a scalable distributed memory multiprocessor and tested on a variety of input scenes. The author presents a theoretical and practical analysis in order to contrast its predicted and actual success. The implementation analysis indicates that load imbalance is the major cause of performance degradation at the higher processor counts. Even so, on a variety of test scenes, an average rendering speedup of 79 was achieved utilizing 96 processors on the BBN TC2000 multiprocessor with a processor efficiency range of 66% to 94%.

Materials compatibility of hydride storage materials with austenitic stainless steels (open access)

Materials compatibility of hydride storage materials with austenitic stainless steels

This task evaluated the materials compatibility of LaNi{sub 5-x}Al{sub x} (x= 0.3, 0.75) hydrides and palladium coated kieselguhr with austenitic stainless steel in hydrogen and tritium process environments. Based on observations of retired prototype hydride storage beds and materials exposure testing samples designed for this study, no materials compatibility problem was indicated. Scanning electron microscopy observations of features on stainless steel surfaces after exposure to hydrides are also commonly found on as-received materials before hydriding. These features are caused by either normal heat treating and acid cleaning of stainless steel or reflect the final machining operation.

Materials performance in prototype Thermal Cycling Absorption Process (TCAP) columns (open access)

Materials performance in prototype Thermal Cycling Absorption Process (TCAP) columns

Two prototype Thermal Cycling Absorption Process (TCAP) columns have been metallurgically examined after retirement, to determine the causes of failure and to evaluate the performance of the column container materials in this application. Leaking of the fluid heating and cooling subsystems caused retirement of both TCAP columns, not leaking of the main hydrogen-containing column. The aluminum block design TCAP column (AHL block TCAP) used in the Advanced Hydride Laboratory, Building 773-A, failed in one nitrogen inlet tube that was crimped during fabrication, which lead to fatigue crack growth in the tube and subsequent leaking of nitrogen from this tube. The Third Generation stainless steel design TCAP column (Third generation TCAP), operated in 773-A room C-061, failed in a braze joint between the freon heating and cooling tubes (made of copper) and the main stainless steel column. In both cases, stresses from thermal cycling and local constraint likely caused the nucleation and growth of fatigue cracks. No materials compatibility problems between palladium coated kieselguhr (the material contained in the TCAP column) and either aluminum or stainless steel column materials were observed. The aluminum-stainless steel transition junction appeared to be unaffected by service in the AHL block TCAP. Also, no evidence of …
