Advanced Thermoelectric Power System. Final Report (open access)

Advanced Thermoelectric Power System. Final Report

Development of a radioisotope-fueled thermoelectric power-conversion system for the SNAP program is discussed. The generator operates at somewhat less than 1% over-all efficiency, has a power output of approximately 1.45 watts, and has a specific power of 0.l42 watts per pound. The power-flattening device did not perform as expected. A second generator is also described which produces a maximum power of 1.6 watts, has a maximum efficiency of 1.20%, and has a specific power of 0.32 watts per pound (exclusive of the weight of the heat source).

Apparatus for Determining Linear Thermal Expansions of Materials in Vacuum or Controlled Atmosphere (open access)

Apparatus for Determining Linear Thermal Expansions of Materials in Vacuum or Controlled Atmosphere

An apparatus for determining linear thermal expansion data up to 1350 deg C for materials that cannot be heated in air is described. Expansion is not measured directly, but is derived from the differential expansion between the material being tested and the materials of construction of the dilatometer. The apparatus is calibrated against published data on the linear thermal expansion of both fused silica and polycrystalline tungsten metal. It can be operated either as a high-vacuum or as a controlled-atmosphere apparatus. Recording of data is either fully automatic or manual. The percentage error is believed to be no greater than plus or minus 0.1 to 0.2%. Original data for linear thermal expansion of materials such as hot-pressed BeO, hafnium-free ZrC/sub 2/, zirconium-free HfO/sub 2/, INOR-8 alloy, siliconized silicon carbide, uranium dioxide, compositions of Be + BeO, and samples of CS 312 graphite, boron nitride, and tungsten metal.

BEHAVIOR OF RUBBING MOLYBDENUM SURFACE IN SODIUM ENVIRONMENTS (open access)

BEHAVIOR OF RUBBING MOLYBDENUM SURFACE IN SODIUM ENVIRONMENTS

A study has been made of the wear and friction phenomena associated with sliding molybdenum surfaces lubricated by liquid sodium. Operating conditions included sodium temperatures from 250 to 1300 deg F, sliding speeds of from 0.22 to 2.5 nan per sec, and contact stresses of 80,000 psi. Sliding specimens consisted of a ball and a flat rectangle. Sodium was found to influence the sliding behavior of molybdenum by modifying reacted films which provided boundary lubrication. These effects were also found to be temperature dependent. Addition of clean sodium between dry rubbing molybdenum surfaces in an argon atmosphere of high purity produced a marked drop in friction coefficient, and the character of the wear scar changed from galling to superficial scratching. Furthermore, these effects persisted after removal of sodium by evaperation. Studies of the films formed on molybdenum surfaces during sliding in liquid sodium and under controlled atmospheres were carried out using electron and x-ray diffraction, electron microscope, and differential thermal-analysis techniques. It was established that a sodium molybdate film on the molybdenum surfaces can be associated with low friction and diminished surface damage. Studies in vacuums up to 10/sup -6/ mm of mercury showed that native oxides on molybdenum also …

Civilian Power Reactor Program. Part 3. Book 4. Status Report on Heavy Water Moderated Reactors as of 1959

Estimates indicate that, within the D/sub 2/O-moderated natural-uranium- fuel reactor category, the lowest cost reactor will be cooled by boiling D/sub 2/ O. The margin over nonboiling is small, especially for reactors in the 100Mw(e) size and smaller. A major area in which research must be advanced before any of the reactor concepts can be successful is fuel-element fabrication and irradiation behavior. Both oxide and metallic elements have their own advantages, and each type should be developed. Other areas in which additional work must be done are the reactivities of various fuel lattices. fuel element burnout (especially for the boiling regime), zirconium pressure tubes and their connections to steel, and methods of reducing and detecting D/sub 2/O leakage.
