Biological and clinical dosimetry. Progress report, October 1, 1979-September 30, 1980 (open access)

Biological and clinical dosimetry. Progress report, October 1, 1979-September 30, 1980

Several major dosimetric intercomparisons were carried out during the last year. At the National Institute of Radiological Sciences, Chiba-shi and the University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan, calorimetric and ionimetric intercomparisons of dose were performed. Similar measurements were also carried out at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, Los Alamos, and Harvard. The measurements of the thermal defect for A-150 plastic were completed and an average value of (4.1 +- 0.3)% was found. Preliminary measurements using a cryogenic calorimeter were carried out at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The first measurement of the event size distribution for 20-MeV neutrons were carried out at Ohio University and an interesting difference between the measurement and theoretical calculations was found. The measured fraction of events due to alpha particles was found to be significantly lower than the fraction predicted by the calculation of Caswell and Coyne.

Catalytic conversion of oxygenated compounds to low molecular weight olefins. Progress report, March 1, 1980-August 31, 1980 (open access)

Catalytic conversion of oxygenated compounds to low molecular weight olefins. Progress report, March 1, 1980-August 31, 1980

A possible route for producing low molecular weight olefins is to convert synthesis gas to methanol followed by conversion of methanol to olefins in a one-step process. During this report period the reaction apparatus suitable for reaction pressure of 500 to 1000 psig was constructed. A preliminary trial run was performed for the reaction of synthesis gas over an intimate mixture of methanol synthesis catalyst and Zeolon-500 (mixture of chabasite and erionite). The reaction temperature, pressure and space velocity were 400/sup 0/C, 800 psig, and 6000 h/sup -1/ (STP), respectively. The total carbon monoxide conversions were 15 to 24%. The major products were carbon dioxide and paraffins of C/sub 1/ to C/sub 4/. Deactivation of the catalyst occurred after 10 hours. X-ray diffraction patterns of the catalyst shows that crystal structure changed during the reaction, and the catalyst exhibited low crystallinity compared to synthetic erionite.

Conceptual design study of geothermal district heating of a thirty-house subdivision in Elko, Nevada, using existing water-distribution systems, Phase III. Final technical report, October 1, 1979-September 30, 1980 (open access)

Conceptual design study of geothermal district heating of a thirty-house subdivision in Elko, Nevada, using existing water-distribution systems, Phase III. Final technical report, October 1, 1979-September 30, 1980

A conceptual design study for district heating of a 30-home subdivision located near the southeast extremity of the city of Elko, Nevada is presented. While a specific residential community was used in the study, the overall approach and methodologies are believed to be generally applicable for a large number of communities where low temperature geothermal fluid is available. The proposed district heating system utilizes moderate temperature, clean domestic water and existing community culinary water supply lines. The culinary water supply is heated by a moderate temperature geothermal source using a single heat exchanger at entry to the subdivision. The heated culinary water is then pumped to the houses in the community where energy is extracted by means of a water supplied heat pump. The use of heat pumps at the individual houses allows economic heating to result from supply of relatively cool water to the community, and this precludes the necessity of supplying objectionably hot water for normal household consumption use. Each heat pump unit is isolated from the consumptive water flow such that contamination of the water supply is avoided. The community water delivery system is modified to allow recirculation within the community, and very little rework of existing …

Electric arc radius and characteristics (open access)

Electric arc radius and characteristics

The heat transfer equation of an arc discharge has been solved. The arc is assumed to be a cylinder with negligible axial variation and the dominant heat transfer process is conduction radially inside the column and radiation/convection at the outside edge. The symmetric consideration allows a simple one-dimensional formulation. By taking into account proper variation of the electrical conductivity as function of temperature, the heat balance equation has been solved analytically. The radius of the arc and its current-field characteristics have also been obtained. The conventional results that E approx. I/sup 0/ /sup 5385/ and R approx. I/sup 0/ /sup 7693/ with E being the applied field, I the current, and R the radius of the cylindrical arc, have been proved to be simply limiting cases of our more general characteristics. The results can be applied quite widely including, among others, the neutral beam injection project in nuclear fusion and MHD energy conversion.

Feasibility of using saturated solar ponds for brine unmixing. Final report (open access)

Feasibility of using saturated solar ponds for brine unmixing. Final report

The overall objective of this study was to investigate in the laboratory the feasibility of using saturated solar ponds for unmixing a brine of intermediate concentration into dilute and concentrated brine streams for salinity gradient energy conversion systems. This objective was accomplished by conducting experiments on laboratory saturated ponds using borax, potassium perchlorate, potassium nitrate, disodium phosphate and potassium alum. Results from ponds using borax, potassium nitrate and disodium phosphate conclusively demonstrated that saturated solar ponds can self-generate and self-maintain a stable density gradient. Moreover, these ponds reestablished stable density profiles after the ponds were externally mixed. Based on preliminary results, the residence time for unmixing of a brine of intermediate concentration into dilute and concentrated brine streams varies from a few days for the borax pond to about two weeks for the disodium phosphate pond, depending upon the characteristics of the individual saturated solution. Because of only a very small increase in the density of saturated solutions from 25/sup 0/C to 90/sup 0/C, the potassium perchlorate pond could not establish a stable density stratification.

Identification of geopressured occurrences outside of the Gulf Coast. Final report, Phase I (open access)

Identification of geopressured occurrences outside of the Gulf Coast. Final report, Phase I

As an extension of its efforts in the development of the geopressured resources of the Gulf Coast, the Division of Geothermal Energy of the US Department of Energy is interested in determining the extent and characteristics of geopressured occurrences in areas outside the Gulf Coast. The work undertaken involved a literature search of available information documenting such occurrences. Geopressured reservoirs have been reported from various types of sedimentary lithologies representing virtually all geologic ages and in a host of geologic environments, many of which are unlike those of the Gulf Coast. These include many Rocky Mountain basins (Green River, Big Horn, Powder River, Wind River, Uinta, Piceance, Denver, San Juan), Mid-Continent basins (Delaware, Anadorko, Interior Salt, Williston, Appalachian), California basins (Sacramento, San Joaquin, Los Angeles, Ventura, Coast Ranges), Alaskan onshore and offshore basins, Pacific Coast offshore basins, and other isolated occurrences, both onshore and offshore.

Model for ion confinement in a hot-electron tandem mirror anchor (open access)

Model for ion confinement in a hot-electron tandem mirror anchor

Anisotropic, hot electrons trapped in local minimum-B wells have been proposed as MHD-stabilizing anchors to an otherwise axisymmetric tandem configuration. This work describes a model for plasma confinement between the anchors and the remainder of the system and calcuates the power loss implied by maintenance of this plasma.
