Use of Convergent and Asymptotic Series for Computation of the Modified Bessel Function of the First Kind. (open access)

Use of Convergent and Asymptotic Series for Computation of the Modified Bessel Function of the First Kind.

In the Communications of the ACM of April, 1960, p. 240, there appeared two Algol algorithms for the computation of In, the modified Bessel function of the first kind. One of these algorithms uses a convergent series and the other an asymptotic series. Their author, Dorothea S. Clarke, did not give any information with regard to which algorithm is more appropriate in a given situation (a given situation meaning the computation of In (x) for a definite pair of numbers n and x). Such information is necessary, however, if the algorithms are to be useful, particularly since the asymptotic series is in many cases not valid.

Analog Computer Analysis of the Thermal Behavior of the EDCR Due to Reactivity Accidents (open access)

Analog Computer Analysis of the Thermal Behavior of the EDCR Due to Reactivity Accidents

The ORNL analog computer was used to examine one aspect of a safety system for the EGCR. The thermal behavior of the fuel as a result of increases in reactivity at various power levels and gas flows was examined. Safety actions initiated by wither a flux-minus-flow signal or a reactor outlet gas temperature signal were included in simulation.

Steady-State Radial and Axial Temperature Profiles of an E. G. C. R. 5 1/2" O. D. Through Tube During 1500 KW Operation - Part II (open access)

Steady-State Radial and Axial Temperature Profiles of an E. G. C. R. 5 1/2" O. D. Through Tube During 1500 KW Operation - Part II

The steady-state radial and axial temperature profiles of an E. G. C. R. 5 1/2" O. D. through tube are determined for the test condition of an attemperated fuel assembly operating at 1500 KW in the loop. The profiles are determined for the case of the central control rod fully inserted and bank insertion to 62 inches (Δk = 0.025). The data are presented in the form of tables and curves.

Thermal-Neutron Flux at the HRE-2  Core Wall, Determined from Zircaloy-2 Induced-Activity Measurements During Runs 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21. (open access)

Thermal-Neutron Flux at the HRE-2 Core Wall, Determined from Zircaloy-2 Induced-Activity Measurements During Runs 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21.

The thermal-neutron flux prevailing near the upper hole in the HRE-2 core wall was determined from measurements of the induced activity in a specimen cut from the edge of the hole. The specimen was removed following run 21 and was thus exposed to reactor neutrons during runs 13, 14, 16,17, 18. 19, 20, and 21. The neutron flux, calculated for an average core power level of 2 Mw, was 2.8 x10^13 neutrons/cm^2 sec. the core wall area from which the specimen was removed was located approximately 16-in. from the core center.

Homogeneous Molten Salt Reactors (open access)

Homogeneous Molten Salt Reactors

Multigroup one-dimensional calculations were done recently to obtain estimates of critical masses, power density distributions and fissioning spectra for some homogeneous molten salt reactors having outer reflectors and central "islands," placed inside the currently proposed MSRE vessel. For a 5-inch-thick outer reflector and 1-ft-diamter island, both beryllium, the calculated critical mass is 108 kg; 40 percent of the fissions occur at thermal, and the maximum power density of 3.9 times the core mean power density occurs at the island-salt interface. If the reflector thickness is increased to 10 inches, the critical mass is reduced to 34 kg; 67 percent of the fissions occur at thermal, and the peak power density of twice the core mean again occurs at the core island-salt interface.

Status Report on the Pneumatic Temperature Measuring system Studies for the EGCR (open access)

Status Report on the Pneumatic Temperature Measuring system Studies for the EGCR

The pneumatic temperature probe (PIM) is a device for measuring gas temperatures by utilizing the dependency of the flow of gases through a restriction on the temperature and pressure conditions. The determination is made by measuring critical mass flow across a restrictive element such as a nozzle and by knowing the upstream pressure and other variables pertinent to the critical flow equation, computing the temperature at the entrance to the restrictive element. In practice it has been found useful to use two critical flow nozzles in series and measure the ratio of the pressures at the nozzle inlets, together with the temperature at the downstream nozzle. The limitations of present thermocouple materials for long term use at elevated temperatures makes resort to this device attractive on many installations.

After Shutdown Heating in the HFIR (open access)

After Shutdown Heating in the HFIR

After shutdown heating rates have been calculated for the target, control plates, and the beryllium reflector of the HFIR. Hilvety previously calculated the after shutdown heating rates in the element and his results are reported in ORNL CP-60-4-110. Decay times of 1.0 10, 10^2, 10^3, 10^4, and 10^5 seconds have been considered, and heat fluxes have been computed for all of the mentioned components. The greatest heat fluxes were found to be at the surfaces of the control plates and the permanent beryllium reflector.

Dispersion Strengthening of Iron-Aluminum Base Alloys: A Feasibility Study (open access)

Dispersion Strengthening of Iron-Aluminum Base Alloys: A Feasibility Study

The feasibility of improving the mechanical properties at 1700-1800°F of oxidation-resistant Fe-Al-Cr alloys by means of a refractory dispersion has been explored. A literature search was conducted, preliminary experimental determinations of properties of the alloy and its oxides were carried out, and certain mathematical relations between dispersion characteristics and metallurgical variables were derived. The results indicate that the alloys can be strengthened sufficiently by using a dispersion with an interparticle spacing of about 2-3 µ. High-temperature native oxides of the Fe-Al-Cr alloy consist largely of Al2O3 and in theory would serve as a satisfactory second phase.
