Equilibrium Adsorption of Krypton and Xenon on Activated Carbon and Linde Molecular Sieves (open access)

Equilibrium Adsorption of Krypton and Xenon on Activated Carbon and Linde Molecular Sieves

Equilibrium krypton and xenon adsorption isotherms were obtained for four varieties of charcoal and for Linde Molecular Sieves Types 4A and 5A, generally at 0, 25, and 60°c. Such data are of interest in connection with design and evaluation of adsorbers for radioactive noble gas fission products. The isotherms were fitted, by linear regression analysis, to straight-line forms of the Freundlich and Langmuir equations. The Freundlich linear equation gave the better fit and the parameters of this equation are presented for each of the isotherms. Also presented are the constants for an equation representing the temperature dependence of arbitrary adsorption coefficients, the coefficients having been calculated from the Freundlich isotherm parameters. Some aspects of the applicability and accuracy of these results are discussed.

A Useful Solution for Short Cylindrical Shells and Other Applications (open access)

A Useful Solution for Short Cylindrical Shells and Other Applications

The general solution to the basic differential equation d^4w/dy^4 +4w= -4f(y) is transformed from the primary form treated in most texts to an alternate form in which each integration constant corresponds to one edge condition at y=0. The relationships between the integration constants of the two forms are derived and the values for the transformed functions are tabulated. The particular solution is derived in general and given in unique form for various functional forms of f(y). Matrix notation is used throughout the derivations; however, a knowledge of matrix theory is not need for application of the results.

Examination of Irradiated Uranium-Chromium Alloy Slugs (open access)

Examination of Irradiated Uranium-Chromium Alloy Slugs

Production Test 313-105-13-M authorized the irradiation of a uranium - 0.4 atomic per cent chromium alloy to determine the relative stability of this material during irradiation. Five tubes, each containing six four-inch alloy slugs, were irradiated to exposures ranging from 156 to 834 MWD/T. This report describes the results of the visual examination of the bare uranium alloy slugs and the results of the test to determine slug breaking strength. The breaking strength of both the U-Cr alloy slugs and the normal uranium control slugs was reduced by exposure in the pile. The breaking strength of those U-Cr alloy pieces not cracked or broken in the jackets before examination was consistently greater than the breaking strength of the normal uranium at all exposures.

Effect of Routing Upon Temperature of Cooling Stream (open access)

Effect of Routing Upon Temperature of Cooling Stream

With discussion under way concerning power production by chain reacting piles, it becomes pertinent to consider the ration of the temperature of the hottest spot in the pile to the average exit temperature of the cooling stream. This is important because the temperature of the hottest spot in the pile is one of the limiting factors in determining the maximum power at which a pile can be operated. However, the higher the temperature of the emerging cooling stream, the more efficient can be the thermal engine operated by it. Thus the ideal situation is to have the average exit temperature of the cooling stream as near as possible to the hottest temperature of the hottest spot in the pile.

Gas laser cells: stress analysis of cylindrical cells with radial injection of electrons (open access)

Gas laser cells: stress analysis of cylindrical cells with radial injection of electrons

The problem is to develop a design procedure for pressurized cylindrical excimer laser cells. Excitation of the pressurized laser gas is by a short pulse of high energy electrons injected through the cell wall. In traversing the wall, the electrons lose energy and heat the wall. Because of rapid gas heating, a shock wave is generated which produces an additional load on the wall. Selected for analysis is a simple, conservative model of a cylindrical cell pressurized to double the shock pressure. The hoop stress is given by the product of a coefficient, which accounts for the shock over pressure, and the classical hoop stress relation. The shock over pressure coefficient is linearly related to the volumetric energy deposition with slope inversely proportional to the product of initial gas density, specific heat, and temperature. The derived equation is applied to a design study of a selected range of laser parameters. The applicability of this simple analysis is discussed. Electron energy absorption curves for several metals are also presented.

Synchrotron injectors based on high charge state ion sources (open access)

Synchrotron injectors based on high charge state ion sources

The performance of any injector contemplated to replace the electrostatic tandem accelerators some time in the future should evidently match or surpass the characteristics of the tandems. It is a fortunate coincidence that the performance of the BNL tandem satisfies in most respects the requirements of the proposed collider, although originally tandems were not built with this application in mind. Requests for heavy ion beams with parameters suitable for injection into the rings of a heavy ion collider have appeared rather recently, at a stage when the high charge state ion sources, which in principle are capable of producing many ion species, have not yet reached such a level of performance. Therefore, consideration of such sources as part of a future injector replacing the tandem accelerators will have to rely on the extrapolation of results from existing models, developed for a different purpose. At the same time, present and future collider requirements for heavy ion beams should serve as a stimulus for the development of sources producing ions with adequate charge states and intensities. Injectors based on such sources may present a better alternative than the tandem accelerators because a higher charge-to-mass ratio of ions from the source results in …

ATD user's manual. [For unpacking, scaling, plotting, filtering, and statistical analysis of data]

The ATD code is a multi-purpose code which reduces data files produced by a digitizer. It contains all of the features for the basic unpacking, scaling, and plotting of digitized data files. More advanced capabilities are also available. Digital filtering, spectral analysis, and statistical analysis, among others, allow the engineer the capability to analyze and display time history data. In contrast to codes such as DYMEC, the data files are typically of high frequency and short duration, representing time spans on the order of seconds and frequency content in the tens of thousands of hertz. 1 figure.
