Milliwatt generator heat source. Progress report, July-December 1981 (open access)

Milliwatt generator heat source. Progress report, July-December 1981

As part of the Milliwatt Generator (MWG) Program, a second series of pressure burst capsules welded offsite was tested; the resulting data indicate that the welds are very similar to those in the first series of capsules. Sufficient hardware was fabricated to meet all scheduled commitments. To provide a unit for feasibility testing, a heat source clad with Hastelloy C was reclad with Inconel 600. Forming development tests on Inconel 600 were conducted with favorable results. A QAS-3 survey was conducted and a satisfactory rating was received. Lot 11 qualification began on T-111 materials. The production period ended with an overall process yield of 99.6%, and a dollar percent defective rate of 0.60%.

Imaging system for obtaining space- and time-resolved plasma images on TMX (open access)

Imaging system for obtaining space- and time-resolved plasma images on TMX

A Reticon 50 x 50 photodiode array camera has been placed on Livermore's Tandem Mirror Experiment to view a 56-cm diameter plasma source of visible, vacuum-ultraviolet, and x-ray photons. The compact camera views the source through a pinhole, filters, a fiber optic coupler, a microchannel plate intensifier (MCPI), and a reducer. The images are digitized (at 3.3 MHz) and stored in a large, high-speed memory that has a capacity of 45 images. A local LSI-11 microprocessor provides immediate processing and display of the data. The data are also stored on floppy disks that can be further processed on the large Livermore Computer System. The temporal resolution is limited by the fastest MCPI gate. The number of images recorded is determined by the read-out time of the Reticon camera (minimum 0.9 msec). The spatial resolution of approximately 1.4 cm is fixed by the geometry and the pinhole of 0.025 cm. Typical high-quality color representation of some plasma images are included.

Present capabilities and new developments in antenna modeling with the numerical electromagnetics code NEC (open access)

Present capabilities and new developments in antenna modeling with the numerical electromagnetics code NEC

Computer modeling of antennas, since its start in the late 1960's, has become a powerful and widely used tool for antenna design. Computer codes have been developed based on the Method-of-Moments, Geometrical Theory of Diffraction, or integration of Maxwell's equations. Of such tools, the Numerical Electromagnetics Code-Method of Moments (NEC) has become one of the most widely used codes for modeling resonant sized antennas. There are several reasons for this including the systematic updating and extension of its capabilities, extensive user-oriented documentation and accessibility of its developers for user assistance. The result is that there are estimated to be several hundred users of various versions of NEC world wide. 23 refs., 10 figs.

Laboratory procedures used in the hot corrosion project (open access)

Laboratory procedures used in the hot corrosion project

The objective of the Hot Corrosion Project in the LLNL Metals and Ceramics Division is to study the physical and chemical mechanisms of corrosion of nickel, iron, and some of their alloys when these metals are subjected to oxidizing or sulfidizing environments at temperatures between 850 and 950/sup 0/C. To obtain meaningful data in this study, we must rigidly control many parameters. Parameters are discussed and the methods chosen to control them in this laboratory. Some of the mechanics and manipulative procedures that are specifically related to data access and repeatability are covered. The method of recording and processing the data from each experiment using an LS-11 minicomputer are described. The analytical procedures used to evaluate the specimens after the corrosion tests are enumerated and discussed.

Electromagnetic velocity gauge: use of multiple gauges, time response, and flow perturbations (open access)

Electromagnetic velocity gauge: use of multiple gauges, time response, and flow perturbations

We have developed an in-situ electromagnetic velocity (EMV) gauge system for use in multiple-gauge studies of initiating and detonating explosives. We have also investigated the risetime of the gauge and the manner in which it perturbs a reactive flow. We report on the special precautions that are necessary in multiple gauge experiments to reduce lead spreading, simplify target fabrication problems and minimize cross talk through the conducting explosive. Agreement between measured stress records and calculations from multiple velocity gauge data give us confidence that our velocity gauges are recording properly. We have used laser velocity interferometry to measure the gauge risetime in polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). To resolve the difference in the two methods, we have examined hydrodynamic and material rate effects. In addition, we considered the effects of shock tilt, electronic response and magntic diffusion on the gauge's response time.

Two-dimensional gas flow in an electrode assembly (open access)

Two-dimensional gas flow in an electrode assembly

The interface between a source of positive or negative ions and a multichannel MEQALAC accelerator will be the Low-Energy Beam Transport (LEBT) consisting of a lattice of quadrupole focusing electrodes transporting the beam while the gas pressure is reduced from the high-pressure ion source to the low-pressure accelerator. Gas emitted from the ion source will flow through the LEBT electrode lattice to a pumping volume. It is necessary to analyze the two-dimensional gas flow to ascertain the gas densities throughout the LEBT and to design the system so that only a small fraction of the ion beam is lost by gas collisions. The analysis uses the fact that the gas-flow rate is proportional to the density gradient if the mean free path of the low-pressure gas is greater than the inter-electrode spacing. Consequently the mathematics developed for conductivity of heat or electric current can be used. The practical result of this analysis is to determine the maximum width of the LEBT so that the beam loss by gas collisions is tolerable. The maximum width is a function of beam density, gas efficiency, and electrode spacing. The beam current per unit length of module will be somewhat greater than 75 mA/cm. …

Qualitative comparisons of fusion reactor materials for waste handling and disposal (open access)

Qualitative comparisons of fusion reactor materials for waste handling and disposal

The activation of five structural materials and seven coolant/breeder/multiplier materials in a common reference neutron environment was calculated with the FORIG activation code. The reference environment was the neutron flux and spectrum at the first wall of the mirror advanced reactor study (MARS) reactor. Qualitative comparison of these activated materials were made with respect to worker protection requirements for gamma radiation in handling the materials and with respect to their classifications for near-surface disposal of radioactive waste.

Development of Alcohol-Based Synthetic Transportation Fuels From Coal-Derived Synthesis Gases. First Quarterly Progress Report, September 14-December 31, 1979 (open access)

Development of Alcohol-Based Synthetic Transportation Fuels From Coal-Derived Synthesis Gases. First Quarterly Progress Report, September 14-December 31, 1979

Chem Systems is carrying out an experimental program for the conversion of coal-derived synthesis gases to a mixture of C/sub 1/-C/sub 4/ alcohols. The objectives of this contract are to: (1) develop a catalyst and reactor system for producing a mixture of C/sub 1/-C/sub 4/ alcohols, which we call Alkanol fuel, to be used as a synthetic transportation fuel and (2) assess the technical and economic feasibility of scaling the process concept to a commercial-scale application. Some of the accomplishments made this quarter were: (1) a small (75cc) fixed-bed, plug-flow, vapor phase reaction system was set up and operated utilizing catalyst bed dilution with inert media to help limit the large exotherm associated with the synthesis gas conversion reactions; (2) a total of fifteen (15) catalysts containing varying amounts of Cu, Co, Zn, Cr and K were prepared and seven of these catalysts were tested; (3) we have identified at least one promising catalyst composition which has resulted in a 30% conversion of carbon monoxide per pass (synthesis gas had a 3.5 H/sub 2//CO ratio) with a carbon selectivity to alcohols of about 80%.
