Low temperature, sulfur tolerant homogeneous catalysts for the water-gas shift reaction (open access)

Low temperature, sulfur tolerant homogeneous catalysts for the water-gas shift reaction

The purpose of this report is to update and reorganize our recent review on homogeneous catalysis of the water-gas shift reaction (WGSR) based on recent literature publications and patents. This updated version will serve as a means of selecting 10 candidate catalyst systems for use in developing effective, sulfur-tolerant, low temperature WGSR catalysts. This report discusses the variations possible in the basic chemistry associated with WGSR catalytic cycles, including basic, acidic, and neutral conditions. Then individual mechanism for specific WGSR catalyst systems are discussed. Finally, on the basis of the literature reports, a list is presented of candidate catalysts and basic systems we have chosen for study in Task 3.

Advective-diffusive/dispersive transport of chemically reacting species in hydrothermal systems. Final report, FY83-85 (open access)

Advective-diffusive/dispersive transport of chemically reacting species in hydrothermal systems. Final report, FY83-85

A general formulation of multi-phase fluid flow coupled to chemical reactions was developed based on a continuum description of porous media. A preliminary version of the computer code MCCTM was constructed which implemented the general equations for a single phase fluid. The computer code MCCTM incorporates mass transport by advection-diffusion/dispersion in a one-dimensional porous medium coupled to reversible and irreversible, homogeneous and heterogeneous chemical reactions. These reactions include aqueous complexing, oxidation/reduction reactions, ion exchange, and hydrolysis reactions of stoichiometric minerals. The code MCCTM uses a fully implicit finite difference algorithm. The code was tested against analytical calculations. Applications of the code included investigation of the propagation of sharp chemical reaction fronts, metasomatic alteration of microcline at elevated temperatures and pressures, and ion-exchange in a porous column. Finally numerical calculations describing fluid flow in crystalline rock in the presence of a temperature gradient were compared with experimental results for quartzite.

Fusion breeder blanket nucleonics (open access)

Fusion breeder blanket nucleonics

Refined nuclear analysis, including the treatment of resonance and spatial self-shielding, coupled with an optimization procedure, has resulted in improved performance estimates for two conceptual fission-suppressed blankets. Net specific breeding in these two blankets maximized at 0.024 and 0.023 U-233 atoms/MeV, which is about an order of magnitude higher than in fission breeders.

Perturbations to the horizontal off-energy functions in the arcs (open access)

Perturbations to the horizontal off-energy functions in the arcs

The perturbation of off-energy functions in the arcs affects the SLC performance in two ways. First of all, it introduces additional emittance blow-up in the arcs through synchrotron radiation loss. Secondly, if the perturbation is too large, the chromatic correction in the final focus cannot completely suppress the eta at IP resulting in a larger beam size. Both effects reduce the luminosity. In this report an analysis is made of the disturbances to the horizontal eta-function generated by imperfections in the arcs ad their effects are estimated.

ATA operations (open access)

ATA operations

Four accelerator parameters were found to control the condition of the electron beam entering the Intergrated Fast Reactor (IFR). These parameters were the matching of the electron beam to the ion channel, the laser timing, the benzene pressure at the entrance to the IFR, and the timing of the accelerator gaps. Manipulation of these parameters make possible the control of the total current, the emittance, the pulse length, the mixture of laser induced current and cathode current, the radial growth in time, the final size of the beam, and the energy variation through the pulse. 1 fig.

Cascade ICF power reactor (open access)

Cascade ICF power reactor

The double-cone-shaped Cascade reaction chamber rotates at 50 rpm to keep a blanket of ceramic granules in place against the wall as they slide from the poles to the exit slots at the equator. The 1 m-thick blanket consists of layers of carbon, beryllium oxide, and lithium aluminate granules about 1 mm in diameter. The x rays and debris are stopped in the carbon granules; the neutrons are multiplied and moderated in the BeO and breed tritium in the LiAlO/sub 2/. The chamber wall is made up of SiO tiles held in compression by a network of composite SiC/Al tendons. Cascade operates at a 5 Hz pulse rate with 300 MJ in each pulse. The temperature in the blanket reaches 1600 K on the inner surface and 1350 K at the outer edge. The granules are automatically thrown into three separate vacuum heat exchangers where they give up their energy to high pressure helium. The helium is used in a Brayton cycle to obtain a thermal-to-electric conversion efficiency of 55%. Studies have been done on neutron activation, debris recovery, vaporization and recondensation of blanket material, tritium control and recovery, fire safety, and cost. These studies indicate that Cascade appears to …

Scalar potential for charge distributions with ellipsoidal symmetry (open access)

Scalar potential for charge distributions with ellipsoidal symmetry

Calculation of the electrostatic scalar potential in ellipsoidal coordinates is outlined. The ellipsoidal coordinate system is described, and the Laplace equation is discussed for this system. Special charge distributions having ellipsoidal symmetry, and therefore most easily treated in ellipsoidal coordinates, are assumed and their scalar potentials calculated, including the ellipsoidal shell, two-dimensional and three-dimensional Gaussian charge distribution, and two-dimensional uniform distribution. 2 refs.

Economic studies for heavy-ion-fusion electric power plants (open access)

Economic studies for heavy-ion-fusion electric power plants

We have conducted parametric economic studies for heavy-ion-fusion electric power plants. We examined the effects on the cost of electricity of several design parameters: cost and cost scaling for the reactor, driver, and target factory; maximum achievable chamber pulse rate; target gain; electric conversion efficiency; and net electric power. Using the most recent estimates for the heavy-ion-driver cost along with the Cascade reactor cost and efficiency, we found that a 1.5 to 3 GWe heavy-ion-fusion power plant, with a pulse rate of 5 to 10 Hz, can be competitive with nuclear and coal power plants.
