Tar sand extraction by steam stimulation and steam drive: measurement of physical properties (open access)

Tar sand extraction by steam stimulation and steam drive: measurement of physical properties

The measurement of the following thermophysical properties of Utah tar sands is in progress: thermal conductivity, specific heat relative permeability, and viscosity (of the recovered bitumen). During the report period (October 1, 1978 to November 1, 1979), experimental procedures have been developed and a basic data set has been measured. Additionally, standard core analysis has been performed for four drill sites in the Asphalt Ridge, Utah area.

Time series analysis of reactor thermocouple data. [LMFBR] (open access)

Time series analysis of reactor thermocouple data. [LMFBR]

Time-series analysis techniques are applied to nuclear reactor thermocouple data to investigate coolant temperatures measured within the fueled test assembly. The coolant temperature distribution within a fuel assembly affects the length of time a fuel assembly may be operated in a power reactor and, therefore, is an important economic consideration in the design of reactor fuel systems. Frequency-domain signal conditioning techniques were used to reveal the smoothly varying thermocouple signals from the noisy digital data. Examination of the cross-correlation function for thermocouple pairs suggested an alternate surging and ebbing of coolant flow within certain zones of the fuel assembly. These zones corresponded to thermocouples which experienced higher or lower than predicted coolant temperatures. This time series analysis contributed greatly toward the understanding of fuel assembly thermal hydraulics.

Preliminary analysis of a target factory for laser fusion (open access)

Preliminary analysis of a target factory for laser fusion

An analysis of a target factory leading to the determination of production expressions has provided for the basis of a parametric study. Parameters involving the input and output rate of a process system, processing yield factors, and multiple processing steps and production lines have been used to develop an understanding of their dependence on the rate of target injection for laser fusion. Preliminary results have indicated that a parametric study of this type will be important in the selection of processing methods to be used in the final production scheme of a target factory.

Radiation damage measurements on rock salt and other minerals for waste disposal applications. Quarterly report, January 1, 1980-March 31, 1980 (open access)

Radiation damage measurements on rock salt and other minerals for waste disposal applications. Quarterly report, January 1, 1980-March 31, 1980

Different aspects of radiation damage in both synthetic NaCl crystals and various natural rock salt samples as well as granite, basalt and other minerals which will be important for radioactive waste disposal applications are being investigated. The principal means of measuring radiation damage is the determination of F-center concentrations, and the concentration and size of sodium metal colloid particles. Formation of these and other defects during irradiation and the annealing of defects and characterization of other processes occurring after irradiation are being studied as a function of dose rate, total dose, sample temperature during irradiation, strain applied prior to and during irradiation, etc. Measurements are being made on synthetic NaCl and natural rock salt samples from different geological locations, including some potential repository sites. It will be necessary to determine if radiation damage in the minerals from different localities is similar. If non-negligible differences are observed a detailed study must be made for each locality under consideration. Almost all current studies are being made on rock salt but other minerals particularly granite and basalt are being phased into the program. It is now established that radiation damage formation in both natural and synthetic rock salt is strongly dependent on strain. …

Feasibility study: PASS computer environment (open access)

Feasibility study: PASS computer environment

The Policy Analysis Screening System (PASS) is a computerized information-retrieval system designed to provide analysts in the Department of Energy, Assistant Secretary for Environment, Office of Technology Impacts (DOE-ASEV-OTI) with automated access to articles, computer simulation outputs, energy-environmental statistics, and graphics. Although it is essential that PASS respond quickly to user queries, problems at the computer facility where it was originally installed seriously slowed PASS's operations. Users attempting to access the computer by telephone repeatedly encountered busy signals and, once logged on, experienced unsatisfactory delays in response to commands. Many of the problems stemmed from the system's facility manager having brought another large user onto the system shortly after PASS was implemented, thereby significantly oversubscribing the facility. Although in March 1980 Energy Information Administration (EIA) transferred operations to its own computer facility, OTI has expressed concern that any improvement in computer access time and response time may not be sufficient or permanent. Consequently, a study was undertaken to assess the current status of the system, to identify alternative computer environments, and to evaluate the feasibility of each alternative in terms of its cost and its ability to alleviate current problems.

Investigation of Sulfur-Tolerant Catalysts for Selective Synthesis of Hydrocarbon Liquids From Coal-Derived Gases. Quarterly Technical Progress Report, December 19, 1979-March 18, 1980 (open access)

Investigation of Sulfur-Tolerant Catalysts for Selective Synthesis of Hydrocarbon Liquids From Coal-Derived Gases. Quarterly Technical Progress Report, December 19, 1979-March 18, 1980

A 15% Fe/SiO/sub 2/ catalyst was prepared. H/sub 2/ and CO chemisorption uptakes were measured for the catalysts prepared to date. Very small uptakes were noted for the silica supported iron catalysts. Reactor activity tests in synthesis gas were conducted for 3% Fe/SiO/sub 2/, 15% Fe/SiO/sub 2/ and 10% Co-B/Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ catalysts. These preliminary tests aided the final development of a laboratory microreactor system. Criteria for avoiding heat and mass transfer limitations on intrinsic rate measurements were examined and applied to the catalyst activity tests.
