The synthesis of flexible biradical strain-gauges which could be anchored onto two sites of a deformable biological structure had been attempted. Qualitative relationships between the possible conformations of the biradicals and the observed ESR spectra provide guidelines for further synthetic work. Some of the nitroxides synthesized and characterized are: R-CO-R{sub 1}-N-(CH{sub 2}){sub n}-R{sub 2}-N-CO-R, where R is 1-oxyl-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl pyrroline bonded at the 3-position, n = 2,3 and R{sub 1,2} = -H; -C{sub 18}{sub 37}; -CH{sub 2}COOH; -CH{sub 2}COOC{sub 2}H{sub 5}; -CH{sub 2}CONH(CH{sub 2}){sub 2}N(CH{sub 3}){sub 2}; -CH{sub 2}CONH(CH{sub 2}){sub 2}N{sup +}(CH{sub 3}) -CH{sub 2}CO-imidazolide.

An analytical parametric study was made of an infinitely long, cylindrical fuel capsule containing thulia (Tm/sub 2//sup 170/o/sub 3/) encapsulated in two different physical forms and in two different liner configurations. Diameters of wafers maintained at 0.060 inch thickness were varied between 0.6 and 3.0 inches. Radial temperature profiles were determined for thulia power densities ranging from 8 to 24 w/cc and fuel capsule surface temperatures ranging from 1000 to 2732/sup 0/F. Hastelloy X, Haynes 25, T-222, tungsten, platinum and molybdenum are the liner materials investigated. Methods of calculation, (including computer codes), assumptions used, error analyses and results are presented and discussed.
