From Abstract: This report provides background and procedural information for the use of a general-purpose Stirling-engine analysis code developed at Argonne National Laboratory and available through the National Energy Software Center. Different engine configurations are easily specified, or the user may make use of provided data for existing engines, both kinematic and free piston. The code models heat transfer and fluid mechanics throughout the engine and accounts for system energy flows and losses. Good agreement is shown between code predictions and experimental measurements. The present analysis method was chosen for fast execution and useful information on energy flows in the system. A description is provided of the code structure that is intended to accept different analysis modules that can provide improved system modeling or optimization capability.

Report issued by the Bureau of Mines over studies conducted on the Blewett zinc-lead mine of Illinois. Samples obtained through churn-drill and diamond drill holes are analyzed. This report includes tables, maps, and illustrations.

This technical memorandum constitutes a complete report on a model study of the Pryors Island reach of the Ohio River, made for the purpose of determining the most effective plan of regulating works for the further improvement and stabilization of the navigable channel.
