US Department of Energy investments in natural gas R&D: An analysis of the gas industry proposal (open access)

US Department of Energy investments in natural gas R&D: An analysis of the gas industry proposal

The natural gas industry has proposed an increase in the DOE gas R&D budget from about $100 million to about $250 million per year for each of the next 10 years. The proposal includes four programs: natural gas supplies, fuel cells, natural gas vehicles and stationary combustion systems. This paper is a qualitative assessment of the gas industry proposal and recommends a natural gas R&D strategy for the DOE. The methodology is a conceptual framework based on an analysis of market failures and the energy policy objectives of the DOE`s (1991) National Energy Strategy. This framework would assist the DOE in constructing an R&D portfolio that achieves energy policy objectives. The natural gas supply program is recommended to the extent that it contributes to energy price stability. Stationary combustion programs are supported on grounds of economic efficiency and environmental quality. The fuel cell program is supported on grounds of environmental quality. The natural gas vehicle program may potentially contribute to environmental quality and energy price stability. The R&D programs in natural gas vehicles and in fuel cells should be complemented with policies that encourage the commercialization and use of the technology, not merely its development.

Topics on RF beam control of a synchrotron

In this paper, several typical situations of longitudinal motion in synchrotron design and operation are studied. The study is based on a unified beam dynamic model of synchrotron oscillation under phase and radial feedbacks. Cases studied include frequency error, lock-in range, bunch excursion, phase manipulation, injection and field errors.

Scaling of gain with energy spread and energy in the PEP FEL (open access)

Scaling of gain with energy spread and energy in the PEP FEL

The Sag Harbor paper on the PEP FEL discusses the scaling of various FEL parameters with energy spread {sigma}{sub {var_epsilon}}. I will repeat some of this material here and then examine the benefit of increasing the energy spread. How much energy spread can be achieved with damping wigglers is the next topic. Finally, I consider the dependence of gain and saturation length on beam energy and undulator field.

Analysis of Periodic Transient Beam Loading of the AGS (open access)

Analysis of Periodic Transient Beam Loading of the AGS

In this note, we discuss the multi-batch bunched ;beam loading during the injection from the Booster to the AGS. The full intensity beam injection to the upgraded AGS RF system with beam phase and radial feedbacks will be studied. It is shown that a beam phase feed-back is necessary in order to guarantee a predictable beam behavior after the first batch injection, otherwise the initial phase deviation for the following batch injections cannot be controlled. However, the effectiveness of the phase feedback control of the transient beam loading is limited by the associated emittance blow-up in the process. It is shown that a fast power amplifier feedback with a moderate gain can significantly reduce the transient effect of the bunched beam injection.

Enhancing low severity coal liquefaction reactivity using mild chemical pretreatment. Quarterly technical progress report, December 1991--February 1992 (open access)

Enhancing low severity coal liquefaction reactivity using mild chemical pretreatment. Quarterly technical progress report, December 1991--February 1992

In this paper, we describe results from a study in which mild chemical pretreatment of coal has been used to enhance low severity liquefaction reactivity. We have found that ambient pretreatment of eight Argonne coals using methanol and a trace amount of hydrochloric acid improves THF-soluble conversions 24.5 wt% (maf basis) for Wyodak subbituminous coal and 28.4 wt% for Beulah-Zap lignite with an average increase of 14.9 wt% for liquefaction of the eight coals at 623 K (350{degree}C) reaction temperature and 30 min. reaction time. Similar enhancement results occurred using, hexane or acetone in place of methanol. Pretreatment with methanol and HCI separately indicated that both reagents were necessary to achieve maximum liquefaction improvement. Acid concentration was the most important pretreatment variable studied; liquefaction reactivity increased with increasing acid concentration up to 2 vol%. No appreciable effect on reactivity was observed at higher acid concentrations. Although vapor phase alcohol/HCI mixtures have been shown to partially alkylate bituminous coals, analysis of Wyodak and Illinois {number_sign}6 coal samples indicated that no organic phase alteration occurred during pretreatment; however, over 90 wt% of the calcium was removed from each coal. Calcium is thought to catalyze retrogressive reactions during coal pyrolysis, and thus calcium …

A time-frequency smoothing algorithm for cyclic spectral analysis (open access)

A time-frequency smoothing algorithm for cyclic spectral analysis

A hybrid smoothing algorithm is described that smooths first in time and then in frequency. The time-frequency smoothing algorithm is designed to compute estimates of the cyclic (cross) spectrum along lines of constant cycle frequency. A variation on the algorithm, one that incorporates the One Bit Spectral Correlation Algorithm (OBSCA), is also described. A simulation study is presented that evaluates the algorithms.

Plutonium and uranium adsorption on monosodium titanate (open access)

Plutonium and uranium adsorption on monosodium titanate

Adsorption of Pu and U onto monosodium titanate (MST) in alkaline salt solution was measured. Changes in MST particle size distribution do not significantly affect the loadings of actinides. Max loading of plutonium-239 is 0.68 wt% at 0.79 mg/L Pu, below the infinitely safe value of 0.80 wt%. Max loading of uranium-235 onto MST is 1.4 wt% at a concentration of 20.3 [plus minus] 2.0 mg/L U, slightly higher than the calculated infinitely safe limit of 1.2 wt%. Experimental data indicated there is competition between plutonium and uranium for sites on the MST, and that the loading will favor the higher concentration species. Since the solubility of uranium is 10--100 times higher than of plutonium, uranium will be loaded to its maximum limit, but plutonium will be below its maximum limit. To ensure that the concentration of fissile materials cannot exceed nuclear safety limits, it is recommended that plutonium and uranium solubility tests be conducted with solutions which bound the compositions of waste which will be treated in ITP process.

Characterization of SAES St198 zirconium-iron-tin alloy (open access)

Characterization of SAES St198 zirconium-iron-tin alloy

A waste minimization program to develop a non-oxidative stripper system based on metallic getters is being conducted. Initial development is being performed using a Zr-Fe-Sn intermetallic alloy getter procured as Stl98 from SAES Gefters/USA., Inc. This memorandum describes characterizations of physical and compositional properties of SAES Stl98. SAES Stl98 getter was supplied as very durable, cylindrical pellets made by compaction of. granules of Zr-Fe-Sn alloy up to 150 [mu]m in size. Pellet density was 5.2 g/mL corresponding to 24.8% open porosity and very little closed porosity. Bulk composition of Stl98 was 73.6 weight percent (w/o) Zr, 23.3 w/o Fe and 1.2 w/o Sn. Stl98 consists of Zr[sub 2]Fe primary phase along with four secondary phases (ZrFe[sub 2], Zr[sub 5]FeSn, [alpha]-zirconium, and [eta]-Zr[sub 4]Fe[sub 2]O[sub 0.6]). Hydriding characteristics of Stl98 are expected to differ slightly from those of Zr[sub 2]Fe because [alpha]-zirconium and, possibly, Zr[sub 5]FeSn also react with hydrogen.
