Determination of the Six Turbulent Reynolds' Stresses by the Hot Wire Method for Arbitrary Intensity and Geometry with Special Application to Axisymmetric Flow (open access)

Determination of the Six Turbulent Reynolds' Stresses by the Hot Wire Method for Arbitrary Intensity and Geometry with Special Application to Axisymmetric Flow

A relationship is derived the mean square fluctuating current of a hot wire anemometer and the sic turbulent Reynolds stresses in the stream-coordinate system without employing the usual low turbulent intensity approximation. The relatively simple result is a consequence of assuming proportionality between the wire current reading and the perpendicular velocity component instead of the non-linear dependence required by King's law. The assumption is valid for instruments equipped with the proper linearizing circuitry. The stream-coordinate Reynolds' stresses are then related to the cylindrical polar Reynolds stresses.

HFIR Beryllium Reflector Preliminary Design Report

This report considers the HFIR reflector design criteria and presents a summary of the reflector design. The reflector type chosen as complying best with the established criteria consists of a 3 in. thick removable beryllium annulus utilizing four concentric cylinders with cooling water flowing through the annuli between cylinders, and an outer 9 in. thick permanent beryllium annulus with axial circular coolant holes. Reflector support structures and experimental facilities are described and probable beryllium replacement costs are indicated.

Pressure Vessel Exposure to Fast Neutrons (open access)

Pressure Vessel Exposure to Fast Neutrons

In a gas-cooled reactor operating at very high power density the thickness of the reflector may be determine by the requirement that the steel pressure vessel be protected from an excessive dose of fast neutrons, rather than by the usual requirements of neutron economy and power distribution. It is important the the reflector not be made thicker than necessary, since an increase in pressure vessel diameter can result in a marked increase in cost, as well as a decrease in the permitted gas pressure level.

Equipoise-2: A Two-Dimensional, Two-Group, Neutron-Diffusion Code for the IBM-7090 Computer

Equipoise-2, a two-dimensional, two-group neutron-diffusion code in R-Z geometry, has been programmed for the IBM-7090 computer. This code was designed to permit the running of large numbers of cases without requiring excessive machine time. Typical running times are of the order of one to three minutes per case for a 1000-point problems. The maximum number of mesh points that can be used is 1444.

Preliminary Analog Computer Study of the Small EGCR In-Pile Loops

The ORNL analog computer was used to simulate four widely different experiment conditions in the small EGCR in-pile loops. Various control and safety systems were evaluated in each case. Curves are included which show the response to postulated accidents and component failures. The results indicate that one standard control and safety system will probably be adequate for a wide variety of test conditions.

Precipitation of Crystalline Uranium and Thorium Peroxide: Applications to Fuel-Element Oxides and Purifications

Departures from the usual precipitation method produced crystalline uranium peroxide in several forms. Three types of segregated needles were used in the preparation of three pellets for pellet-type elements. Densities of the pellets ranged from 93 to 97% of theoretical, depending on conditions of precipitation.

Investigation of Mechanical Methods of Scale Removal from HRT Heat Exchangers (open access)

Investigation of Mechanical Methods of Scale Removal from HRT Heat Exchangers

Tests were conducted to determine methods of removing scale deposits from the HRT heat exchangers. A mockup of the heat exchanger header was cleared of a deposit of iron rust by reverse flushing at a flow rate below 75 gpm. A tube bundle consisting of 109 1/4in. O.D. x 0.049 in. wall tubes was plugged with rust. Approximately 80% of these tubes were unplugged by using a 70 psi water pressure differential in combination with vibration from a pneumatic rivet gun. No mechanical method was employed in the tests which could clear the remaining tubes.

Multigroup Diffusion Theory Calculations for Recent Critical Experiments (open access)

Multigroup Diffusion Theory Calculations for Recent Critical Experiments

In connection with the program of the measurement of eta for U233, several critical experiments have been performed by R. Gwin and D. W. Magnuson of ORML with light water solutions of uranyl nitrate (highly enriched in either U233 or U35) in an essentially bare sphere 27 inches in diameter. This report presents the results of two multigroup-diffusion-theory calculations for the above experiments performed by C. B. Mills and associated at Los Alamos. Assumer cross sections, material concentrations detailed neutron balances and a comparison with elementary theory are included. The agreement between the calculated and experimental multiplication constants is excellent for the multigroup calculation but only fair for the elementary calculation. The latter method overestimates the fast leakage so that the computed multiplication constant is less than that found experimentally.

Anisotropic Elastic Scattering of Neutrons (open access)

Anisotropic Elastic Scattering of Neutrons

In an elastic collision the neutron loses part of its kinetic energy to the nucleus with both the kinetic and momentum of the system being conserved. However, for many elements the scattering is not isotropic in the center-of-mass system at the higher neutron energies. Many of the present reactor multigroup codes include anisotropic scattering at the high neutron energies, while many others assume isotropic scattering at all energies. In order to consider some of the effects of including anisotropic scatting, reference is made t the multigroup equation generally assumed for the slowing-down density.

Beryllium (open access)

Beryllium

The information concerning beryllium assembled herein has been selected primarily to provide information that might be pertinent to the design of the ART. The creep-rupture data in the literature have been obtained from vacuum cast and extruded beryllium, rather than from the hot-pressed beryllium which will be used in the ART. A research program is being conducted by the Brush Beryllium Company, under contract to the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, which will eventually provide the design engineers with data on the high temperature strength properties of hot-pressed beryllium. In the interim, it will be necessary for the metallurgists and design engineers to make judicious estimates and extrapolations from the data available.

Test of Stainless Steel Freeze Jacket to be Used on 1/2-inch High Pressure and High Temperature Process Lines (open access)

Test of Stainless Steel Freeze Jacket to be Used on 1/2-inch High Pressure and High Temperature Process Lines

In order to test the operation of a freeze jacket in air with the process fluid closely following the conditions found in the high pressure circulation loop of a homogeneous reactor, or, 2000 psi and 300C, a test loop was built and used in conjunction with existing refrigeration equipment. The freeze jacket was made of 5/16-in. type 346 stainless steel tubing wrapped around and welded to a 1/2-in. stainless steel process line. It was concluded that for these reactor operating conditions, only a small leak rate, 11 cc/min, could be frozen off. It is recommended that, at the beginning of the the freezing operation, the temperature of the secondary refrigerant entering the freeze jacket be at least -40C and that the freeze jacket be made as long as practical.
