Evaluate fundamental approaches to longwall dust control. Phase III report (open access)

Evaluate fundamental approaches to longwall dust control. Phase III report

The overall objective of the contract is to evaluate the effectiveness of available dust control technology for double-drum shearer longwall sections in a coordinated, systematic program at a few longwall test sections and to make the results available to the entire coal mining industry. This program is investigating nine different dust control techniques. These nine subprograms encompass a broad range of dust control measures ranging from administrative controls to new hardware. They span not only presently employed methods but also those recently adopted in the United States and those proposed for the future. This report documents the Phase III effort on each of the subprograms. For clarity, the report is divided in sections by subprogram as follows: Section 2, Subprogram A - passive barriers/spray air movers for dust control; Section 3, Subprogram B - practical aspects of deep cutting; Section 4, Subprogram C - stage loader dust control; Section 5, Subprogram D - longwall automation technology; Section 6, Subprogram E - longwall application of ventilation curtains; Section 7, Subprogram F - reversed drum rotation; Section 8, Subprogram G - reduction of shield generated dust; Section 9, Subprogram H - air canopies for longwalls; and Section 10, Subprogram I - mining …

RADIOISOTOPE FUELED AUXILIARY POWER UNIT. Quarterly Progress Report No. 1, January 2-April 2, 1957

Progress on an isotope-fueled auxiliary power unit is reported. Based on the power requirements of 260 W, it was concluded that Ce/sup 144/ should be used as fuel. Estimates were made of fuel availability and unit cost and weight at power levels of 133, 300, 500, and 1000 W(e). Fuel development, boiler development, system and operational considerations, and the power conservation system are discussed. (M.C.G.)

Pathfinder Atomic Power Plant Analog Simulator. (open access)

Pathfinder Atomic Power Plant Analog Simulator.

The steady-state and dynamlc characterlstics of the Pathfinder systems were simulated on a dual-console Pace Analog Computer. The derivation of the system equations, the assumptions involved, their numerical evaluation, and their conversion to analog circuitry are described. The Pathfinder system is unique because of the internal nuclear superheater, and controlled, forced recirculation. In simulating this system the following major assumptions were maden the reactor is a boiling-water type; moderated and cooled with saturated, light water; pressurized between 400 and 800 psiai and has a neutron flux distribution that is spatially invariant. All the importanit non-linearities are retained, thus permitting accurate solutions of large system disturbances. The neutron kinetics equations, with their six groups of delayed neutrons, are simulated with power feedbacks through reactor pressure, steam flow, core inlet subcooling, and fuel- element temperature. Particular attention ls devoted to the accurate simulation of fuel-element heat transfer; the reactor pressure-control system, which operates the turbine inlet valves; and the effect of core inlet subcooling, sinee these were found to have pronounced effects on reactor performance. The transient temperatures at the superheater hot spot and exit are generated. Enough flexibility ss included, so that all important disturbanees possible in the actual plant can …

Test and Evaluation of Alco/BLH Prototype Sodium-Heated Steam Generator: Final Report (open access)

Test and Evaluation of Alco/BLH Prototype Sodium-Heated Steam Generator: Final Report

A 30-Mwt prototype sodium-to-sodium intermediate heat exchanger and a 30-Mwt prototype sodium-heated steam generator were tested in combined operation in its Sodium Components Test Installation. This report contains the results of test and evaluation of the steam generator. During plant performance tests, performance degradation was observed, which resulted in the initiation of a diagnostic test series. This test series revealed that under certain operating conditions, the thermohydraulic characteristic of the steam generator changed either suddenly or gradually, resulting in overall performance degradation. A structural failure, requiring retirement of the unit, occurred before the diagnostic test series and analytical support effort were completed. This report describes the thermohydraulic and structural performance, including the structural failures, and related evaluation analyses of the Alco/BLH prototype steam generator performed prior to termination of the test and evaluation program. In addition, the report presents a post-test examination plan to obtain data that could possibly explain the cause of performance anomalies and structural failures experienced during testing.

Validation of the kinetic model for predicting the composition of chlorinated water discharged from power plant cooling systems (open access)

Validation of the kinetic model for predicting the composition of chlorinated water discharged from power plant cooling systems

The purpose of this report is to present a validation of a previously described kinetic model which was developed to predict the composition of chlorinated fresh water discharged from power plant cooling systems. The model was programmed in two versions: as a stand-alone program and as a part of a unified transport model developed from consistent mathematical models to simulate the dispersion of heated water and radioisotopic and chemical effluents from power plant discharges. The results of testing the model using analytical data taken during operation of the once-through cooling system of the Quad Cities Nuclear Station are described. Calculations are also presented on the Three Mile Island Nuclear Station which uses cooling towers.

Investigation of mechanically hard, chemically inert antireflection coatings for photovoltaic solar modules. Final technical report, April 1, 1980-March 31, 1981 (open access)

Investigation of mechanically hard, chemically inert antireflection coatings for photovoltaic solar modules. Final technical report, April 1, 1980-March 31, 1981

The overall objective of this program is to determine the optical properties of i-Carbon (diamond-like) films and determine if these films can be developed into antireflecting (AR) coatings for silicon solar cells. The i-C films have been produced on glass, silicon, and KCl by radio frequency (RF) plasma decomposition of the alkane gases. Films were also produced on silicon solar cells by low-energy ion beam techniques. These coatings did not perform as well as those made from hydrocarbon gases. Significant progress has been made in understanding the deposition parameters that affect the optical properties of the films. The optical constants n and k have been determined over a large range of process parameters and source gas. The degree of hydrogen incorporation in these films has been studied by SIMS analysis. It was found that the lower optically absorbing films contain more hydrogen. This hydrogen does not, however, manifest itself in fundamental C-H absorption bands in the infrared. Very efficient single-layer quarter-wave i-C AR coatings have been produced on single-crystal and SOC Si solar cells. An increase in cell efficiency of 40% over uncoated cells has been achieved.
