Solar cogeneration: Cimarron River station, Central Telephone and Utilities-Western Power (open access)

Solar cogeneration: Cimarron River station, Central Telephone and Utilities-Western Power

The site-specific conceptual design progress is described for a solar central receiver cogeneration facility at a Kansas utility. The process is described which led to the selection of the preferred solar cogeneration facility. The status of the conceptual design is presented. The evaluation of system performance is described. A test program is described that is to determine the magnitude of impact that local environmental factors have on collector system performance and to measure the direct normal insolation at the cogeneration facility site. The system specification is appended. (LEW)

Coal-feeder development. Second quarterly technical progress report, January-March 1980 (open access)

Coal-feeder development. Second quarterly technical progress report, January-March 1980

The pilot-scale piston-feeder development is progressing satisfactorily and should proceed as planned. The bench scale testing of components, sub-system and critical areas continued to provide very useful information in support of the development of the complete feeder. The K30M seals and polyurethane scrapers are showing very promising results. The components development facility is being upgraded and testing at the bench scale level should be vigorously perused. The upgrading of the pilot scale feeder and its system will be emphasized during the next quarter to perform feeder capabilities and limitations testing. No progress on the 5.5-in. diameter pilot scale screw feeder has been made because IRRI is waiting decision from METC as to when the feeder can be installed on the 42-in. gas producer.

Ohio State Briefing Book for low-level radioactive waste management (open access)

Ohio State Briefing Book for low-level radioactive waste management

The Ohio State Briefing Book is one of a series of state briefing books on low-level radioactive waste management practices. It has been prepared to assist state and federal agency officials in planning for safe low-level radioactive waste disposal. The report contains a profile of low-level radioactive waste generators in Ohio. The profile is the result of a survey of NRC licensees in Ohio. The briefing book also contains a comprehensive assessment of low-level radioactive waste management issues and concerns as defined by all major interested parties including industry, government, the media, and interest groups. The assessment was developed through personal communications with representatives of interested parties, and through a review of media sources. Lastly, the briefing book provides demographic and socioeconomic data and a discussion of relevant government agencies and activities, all of which may impact waste management practices in Ohio.

Method and apparatus for recovering unstable cores (open access)

Method and apparatus for recovering unstable cores

A method and apparatus suitable for stabilizing hydrocarbon cores are given. Such stabilized cores have not previously been obtainable for laboratory study, and such study is believed to be required before the hydrate reserves can become a utilizable resource. The apparatus can be built using commercially available parts and is very simple and safe to operate.

Neutral beamline with improved ion-energy recovery (open access)

Neutral beamline with improved ion-energy recovery

A neutral beamline employing direct energy recovery of unneutralized residual ions is provided which enhances the energy recovery of the full energy ion component of the beam exiting the neutralizer cell, and thus improves the overall neutral beamline efficiency. The unneutralized full energy ions exiting the neutralizer are deflected from the beam path and the electrons in the cell are blocked by a magnetic field applied transverse to the beam direction in the neutralizer exit region. The ions which are generated at essentially ground potential and accelerated through the neutralizer cell by a negative acceleration voltage are collected at ground potential. A neutralizer cell exit end region is provided which allows the magnetic and electric fields acting on the exiting ions to be loosely coupled.

Radioactive hot-cell access-hole decontamination machine (open access)

Radioactive hot-cell access-hole decontamination machine

A radioactive hot cell access hole decontamination machine is disclosed. A mobile housing has an opening large enough to encircle the access hole and has a shielding door, with a door opening and closing mechanism, for uncovering and covering the opening. The housing contains a shaft which has an apparatus for rotating the shaft and a device for independently translating the shaft from the housing through the opening and access hole into the hot cell chamber. A properly sized cylindrical pig containing wire brushes and cloth or other disks, with an arrangement for releasably attaching it to the end of the shaft, circumferentially cleans the access hole wall of radioactive contamination and thereafter detaches from the shaft to fall into the hot cell chamber.

Compressor surge counter (open access)

Compressor surge counter

A surge counter for a rotating compressor is provided which detects surging by monitoring the vibration signal from an accelerometer mounted on the shaft bearing of the compressor. The circuit detects a rapid increase in the amplitude envelope of the vibration signal, e.g., 4 dB or greater in less than one second, which is associated with a surge onset and increments a counter. The circuit is rendered nonresponsive for a period of about 5 seconds following the detection which corresponds to the duration of the surge condition. This prevents multiple registration of counts during the surge period due to rapid swings in vibration amplitude during the period.

Infiltration measurements in audit and retrofit programs (open access)

Infiltration measurements in audit and retrofit programs

A model that relates fan pressurization measurements to infiltration values during the heating season is the basis for infiltration estimates in several different audit programs. The model is described and validation results are presented. The model is used in three different audit strategies. The first is an energy audit to determine economically optimal retrofits for residential buildings, based on actual, on-site measurments of key indices of the house. Measurements are analyzed on a microprocessor and retrofit combinations compatible with minimum life-cycle cost and occupant preferences are determined. The second uses graphical techniques to make infiltration calculations while the third is a non-instrumented walk-through audit that was developed as a standard reference in the Residential Conservation Service Program.

TCLUST1: A Computer Program for Analysis of Intersubassembly Heat Transfer in an LMFBR (open access)

TCLUST1: A Computer Program for Analysis of Intersubassembly Heat Transfer in an LMFBR

The TCLUST1 computer program was developed to study the transient thermal behavior of a subassembly of a liquid-metal fast breeder reactor (LMFBR) that is thermally coupled to its six neighboring subassemblies. Each of the seven subassemblies may be either a reflector subassembly, which contains a single solid hexagonal rod, or a pin-bundle subassembly. The TCLUST1 analytical model was developed based on conservation of energy, and the temperature distribution in the subassembly was obtained using the successive over-relaxation (SOR) technique. Measured temperatures obtained from a natural-convection flow test performed in EBR-II compare well with those predicted by TCLUST1. Appendixes describe the code input and go through a sample program.
