Conversion of associated natural gas to liquid hydrocarbons (open access)

Conversion of associated natural gas to liquid hydrocarbons

Energy International is a leader in catalyst and process development as it relates to Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) technology. Through this activity, a concept evolved for a new technique for capturing the fuel value in the associated natural gas contained in crude oil. In the new concept, the dissolved natural gas would be processed via F-T technology to produce light hydrocarbons that would then, in one manifestation of this concept, be redissolved in the crude oil to produce a lighter crude than the original, containing all of the natural gas, but with the vapor pressure of the crude lowered to an acceptable level via the conversion process. This technique would be of particular interest in those instances where the alternative methods of collections and utilizing the associated natural gas were expensive. A study of the application of this technology was undertaken by EI with support from the DOE.

Development of high efficiency cascade solar cells. Quarterly technical progress report No. 2 (open access)

Development of high efficiency cascade solar cells. Quarterly technical progress report No. 2

Research has continued in the development of selected ternary and quaternary III-V materials that are potential candidates for cascade solar cell applications. In addition, various simple and multi-junction cascade solar cell components have been fabricated and evaluated in a continuing study of several different solar cell designs (materials combinations). During the present reporting period, work has concentrated on the following major areas: GaAlAs/GaAs cell development; AlGaAsSb/GaAsSb materials development; GaInP materials development via VPE; inverted structure development; and MO/CVD growth system work at NCSU. Progress in each of these areas is summarized.

Development of superior liquid coolants CCF-1. Final technical report, 1 September 1978-31 December 1979 (open access)

Development of superior liquid coolants CCF-1. Final technical report, 1 September 1978-31 December 1979

A comprehensive study of four representative commercially available heat transfer fluids being used in solar systems was undertaken to establish the most cost effective fluid over the life of the system. Criteria for making the assessment were the relative results of fluid toxicity tests, fire hazards tests, collector stagnation tests, and physical property comparison data of various fluids. The specific fluids evaluated were Dow Corning SylthermTM 444 silicone, Uniroyal PAO-LV polyalphaolefin hydrocarbon, Union Carbide Prestone II ethylene glycol/water solution and Dow Chemical Ambitrol NTC propylene glycol/water solution. Although there is no essential difference in the installed cost when comparing solar systems based on each of these fluids, there is a very large cost difference between the systems when life cycle costing is performed on the systems. The system representing propylene glycol/water is by far the most costly system followed by the system representing ethylene glycol/water due to possible failures and maintenance schedules. The Uniroyal PAO-LV polyalphaolefin system is the third most expensive system. The SylthermTM 444 silicone system is the least expensive, offering little or no potential for catastrophic failure and does not require any fluid maintenance.

Evaluation of tuff as a waste isolation medium (open access)

Evaluation of tuff as a waste isolation medium

Tuff is of interest for use as an isolation medium for high heat producing wastes because it provides highly sorptive minerals and suitable thermomechanical properties. Also, tuff is widespread in areas that offer long and deep groundwater flow paths. The occurrence and geologic/hydrologic setting of tuff are discussed. The properties of the rock are discussed and compared with other isolation media. The favorable and unfavorable aspects are presented. Also, unresolved issues are discussed along with the investigative program for addressing these issues.

[Experimental and theoretical plasma physics program]. Technical progress in FY 1979

This report summarizes recent technical progress in the major areas of study. Because a considerable variety of work has been performed this year they authors first give brief synopses of individual research projects categorizing them as to their relevance to the general areas of plasma stability analyses, plasma heating or basic plasma physics. Next, they discuss these projects as they relate to and support the various DOE experimental programs. The DOE experimental programs are: (1) toroidal confinement systems; (2) open confinement systems; and (3) alternative concepts (EBT, Spheromak, field reversed mirrors and punches).

Flux pinning and flux flow studies in superconductors using flux flow noise techniques. Progress report, April 1-December 30, 1979 (open access)

Flux pinning and flux flow studies in superconductors using flux flow noise techniques. Progress report, April 1-December 30, 1979

Flux flow noise power spectra were investigated, and information obtained through such spectra is applied to describe flux flow and pinning in situations where volume pinning force data is also available. In one case, the application of noise data to PB/sub 80/In/sub 20/ samples after recovery and after high temperature annealing is discussed. This work is consistent with a recent model for flux flow noise generation. In the second case we discuss experiments designed to change the fluxoid transit path length, which according to the model should affect both the noise amplitude and the parameter ..cap alpha.. specifying the longest subpulse times in terms of the average transit time, tau/sub c/. Transient flux flow voltages when a current is switched on after field cycling a Pb/sub 60/In/sub 40/ sample have been discovered. Noise spectra have been measured during the transient. These observations are discussed along with a simple model which fits the data. A surprising result is that the transient decay times increase with the applied current. Other characteristics of Pb/sub 60/In/sub 40/ after cold working are also discussed.

The in-plant evaluation of a uranium NDA system (open access)

The in-plant evaluation of a uranium NDA system

The Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory has an unirradiated enriched uranium reprocessing facility. Various types of solutions are generated in this facility, including distillates and raffinates containing ppm of uranium and concentrated solutions with up to 400 grams U/t. In addition to uranyl nitrate and HNO{sub 3}, the solutions may also contain zirconium, niobium, fluoride, and small amounts of many metals. A uranium solution assay system (USAS) has been installed to allow accurate and more timely process control, accountability, and criticality data to be obtained. The USAS assays are made by a variety of techniques that depend upon state-of-the-art high-resolution Ge(Li) gamma-ray spectroscopy integrated with an interactive, user-oriented computer software package. Tight control of the system`s performance is maintained by constantly monitoring the USAS status. Daily measurement control sequences are required, and the user is forced by the software to perform these sequences. Routine assays require 400 or 1000 seconds for a precision of 0.5% over the concentration range of 5--400 g/t. A comparison of the USAS precision and accuracy with that obtained by traditional destructive analytical chemistry techniques (colorimetric and volumetric) is presented.
