A study of steady-state steam-water counterflow in porous media (open access)

A study of steady-state steam-water counterflow in porous media

Vapor-liquid counterflow in porous media arises in processes such as heat pipes, oil recovery and geothermal systems. Previous studies analysed these phenomena in separate contexts. This paper presents a unified description from which previous models result as limiting cases. The analysis includes capillarity, heat conduction, and Kelvin effects. The importance of each term to various processes is examined. Significantly, it is found that the critical heat flux is not constant but increases with decreasing permeability. A threshold permeability is identified below which steady states may not exist. Analogous conclusions are reached regarding liquid-dominated geothermal systems. 24 refs., 15 figs.

Control of alpha particle transport by spatially inhomogeneous ion cyclotron resonance heating (open access)

Control of alpha particle transport by spatially inhomogeneous ion cyclotron resonance heating

Control of the radial alpha particle transport by using Ion Cyclotron Range of Frequency waves is investigated in a large-aspect-ratio tokamak geometry. It is shown that spatially inhomogeneous ICRF-wave energy with properly selected frequencies and wave numbers can induce fast convective transport of alpha particles at the speed of order {upsilon}{sub alpha} {approximately} (P{sub RF}/n{sub {alpha}}{epsilon}{sub 0}) {rho}{sub p}, where P{sub RF} is the ICRF-wave power density, n{sub {alpha}} is the alpha density, {epsilon}{sub 0} is the alpha birth energy, and {rho}{sub p} is the poloidal gyroradius of alpha particles at the birth energy. Application to ITER plasmas is studied and possible antenna designs to control alpha particle flux are discussed. 8 refs., 3 figs.

The thermodynamic properties of 2-methylaniline and trans-(R,S)- decahydroquinoline (open access)

The thermodynamic properties of 2-methylaniline and trans-(R,S)- decahydroquinoline

Measurements leading to the calculation of the ideal-gas thermodynamic properties for 2-methylaniline and trans-(R,S)-decahydroquinoline are reported. Experimental methods included combustion calorimetry, adiabatic heat-capacity calorimetry, comparative ebulliometry, inclined-piston gauge manometry, and differential-scanning calorimetry (dsc). Entropies, enthalpies, and Gibbs energies of formation were derived for the ideal gas at selected temperatures for both compounds. Critical properties were determined for 2-methylaniline with the dsc. Measured combustion enthalpies, vapor pressures, critical properties, and ideal-gas entropies were compared with estimated and experimental literature values. 59 refs., 7 figs., 15 tabs.

Control of energetic ion confinement by ion cyclotron range of frequency waves (open access)

Control of energetic ion confinement by ion cyclotron range of frequency waves

It is shown that ICRF waves can induce fast convective radial transport of energetic ions in a tokamak geometry without affecting the background ion transport. Spatially inhomogeneous ICRF waves with directional parallel wave vectors are needed; otherwise, a net parallel flow of the energetic ions has to be present. 8 refs.

Simulations of plasma performance in a beam-driven tokamak fusion reactor with Q approx 2-3 (open access)

Simulations of plasma performance in a beam-driven tokamak fusion reactor with Q approx 2-3

Supershot profiles were used to simulate plasmas in a neutral-beam driven tokamak reactor designed to achieve fusion energy production with Q {approx} 2-3. Profiles from a TFTR supershot were scaled to larger radii, density, and electron temperature. The TRANSP code was used to calculate performance of these plasmas. Examples are given of steady-state plasmas with large beam-driven bootstrap currents. The required energy transport rate is comparable to that in TFTR, but the particle transport rate must be less. The PEST code indicates that the plasmas would be MHD stable if the central q{sub {Psi}} can be controlled. 8 refs., 13 figs., 4 tabs.

Predictive modelling of boiler fouling (open access)

Predictive modelling of boiler fouling

The primary objective of this work is the development of a comprehensive numerical model describing the time evolution of fouling under realistic heat exchanger conditions. As fouling is a complex interaction of gas flow, mineral transport and adhesion mechanisms, understanding and subsequently improved controlling of fouling achieved via appropriate manipulation of the various coupled, nonlinear processes in a complex fluid mechanics environment will undoubtedly help reduce the substantial operating costs incurred by the utilities annually, as well as afford greater flexibility in coal selection and reduce the emission of various pollutants. In a more specialized context the numerical model to be developed as part of this activity will be used as a tool to address the interaction of the various mechanisms controlling deposit development in specific regimes or correlative relationships. These should prove of direct use to the coal burning industry.

Photoinitiated electron transfer in multi-chromophoric species: Synthetic tetrads and pentads (open access)

Photoinitiated electron transfer in multi-chromophoric species: Synthetic tetrads and pentads

This research project involves the design, synthesis and study of the molecules which mimic many of the important aspects of photosynthetic electron and energy transfer. Specifically, the molecules are designed to mimic the following aspects of natural photosynthetic multistep electron transfer: electron donation from a tetrapyrrole excited singlet state, electron transfer between tetrapyrroles, electron transfer from tetrapyrroles to quinones, and electron transfer between quinones with different redox properties. In addition, they model carotenoid antenna function in photosynthesis (singlet-singlet energy transfer from carotenoid polyenes to chlorophyll) and carotenoid photoprotection from singlet oxygen damage (triplet-triplet energy transfer from chlorophyll to carotenoids).
