Texture and residual strain in SiC/Ti-6-2-4-2 titanium matrix composites (open access)

Texture and residual strain in SiC/Ti-6-2-4-2 titanium matrix composites

Residual strain and texture variations were measured in two Titanium matrix composites reinforced with Silicon Carbide fibers (Ti/SiC) having the same composition but fabricated by dramatically different processing routes. In both specimens the Titanium matrix comprised an {alpha}/{beta} alloy (Ti-6242) containing approximately 35% by volume of continuous SiC fibers. In one case the matrix was produced by a plasma spray (PS) route and the other by a wire drawing (WD) process. The resulting textures in the matrix differ significantly, from approximately random for the PS matrix to 6.25X random in the WD matrix. No significant differences in matrix residual strains between the composites prepared by the two procedures were noted. Plane-specific elastic moduli, measured in load tests on the unreinforced matrices also showed little difference.

Theory, Modeling and Simulation: Research progress report 1994--1995 (open access)

Theory, Modeling and Simulation: Research progress report 1994--1995

The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) has established the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL). In April 1994, construction began on the new EMSL, a collaborative research facility devoted to advancing the understanding of environmental molecular science. Research in the Theory, Modeling, and Simulation (TM and S) program will play a critical role in understanding molecular processes important in restoring DOE`s research, development, and production sites, including understanding the migration and reactions of contaminants in soils and ground water, developing processes for isolation and processing of pollutants, developing improved materials for waste storage, understanding the enzymatic reactions involved in the biodegradation of contaminants, and understanding the interaction of hazardous chemicals with living organisms. The research objectives of the TM and S program are fivefold: to apply available electronic structure and dynamics techniques to study fundamental molecular processes involved in the chemistry of natural and contaminated systems; to extend current electronic structure and dynamics techniques to treat molecular systems of future importance and to develop new techniques for addressing problems that are computationally intractable at present; to apply available molecular modeling techniques to simulate molecular processes occurring in the multi-species, multi-phase systems characteristic of natural and polluted environments; to extend current molecular …

Thermodynamic Cycle Analysis Program (TCAP) (open access)

Thermodynamic Cycle Analysis Program (TCAP)

This report describes the Thermodynamic Cycle Analysis Program (TCAP) software developed in support of the Collaborative Advanced Gas Turbine (CAGT) research project. The goal of the CAGT project was to evaluate different configurations of gas turbine-based power generation cycles. TCAP software enables the user to graphically construct power cycles that incorporate a variety of components such as compressors, turbines, heat exchangers, and reactors. The user also specifies the input condition of the working fluid and the parameters associated with each component. TCAP then calculates the composition and thermodynamic properties of the working fluid at every point in the cycle. From this data, TCAP calculates the overall thermodynamic efficiency of the cycle and emission levels of specific chemicals. Thermodynamic and chemical kinetic data are based on the Chemkin family of application codes and libraries.

Three principal results from recent Fenton Hill flow testing (open access)

Three principal results from recent Fenton Hill flow testing

Results of recent flow testing at Fenton Hill, New Mexico, have been examined in light of their applicability to the development of commercial-scale hot dry rock (HDR) reservoirs at other sites. These test results, obtained during the cumulative 11 months of reservoir flow testing between 1992 and 1995, show that there was no significant production temperature drawdown during this time and that the reservoir flow became more dispersed as flow testing proceeded. Based on these test results together with previous HDR research at Fenton Hill and elsewhere, it is concluded that a three-well geometry, with one centrally located injection well and two production wells -- one at each end of the pressure-stimulated reservoir region -- would provide a much more productive system for future HDR development than the two-well system tested at Fenton Hill.

Time-dependent buoyant puff model for explosive sources (open access)

Time-dependent buoyant puff model for explosive sources

Several models exist to predict the time dependent behavior of bouyant puffs that result from explosions. This paper presents a new model that is derived from the strong conservative form of the conservation partial differential equations that are integrated over space to yield a coupled system of time dependent nonlinear ordinary differential equations. This model permits the cloud to evolve from an intial spherical shape not an ellipsoidal shape. It ignores the Boussinesq approximation, and treats the turbulence that is generated by the puff itself and the ambient atmospheric tubulence as separate mechanisms in determining the puff history. The puff cloud rise history was found to depend no only on the mass and initial temperature of the explosion, but also upon the stability conditions of the ambient atmosphere. This model was calibrated by comparison with the Roller Coaster experiments.

A tool to detect external cracks from within a metal tube (open access)

A tool to detect external cracks from within a metal tube

A tool using a continuous electromagnetic wave from a transverse magnetic-dipole source with a coaxial electric-dipole receiver is outlined for the detection of external sidewall cracks in boiler tubes. A numerical study of the distribution of the fields shows that the direct transmission from the source to the receiver is reduced from that in free space. Further, if the diameter of the receiver dipole is made sufficiently small, it should be possible to detect cracks with a scattering loss of up to 40dB in thin-walled boiler tubes.

Total environmental warming impact (TEWI) calculations for alternative automative air-conditioning systems (open access)

Total environmental warming impact (TEWI) calculations for alternative automative air-conditioning systems

The Montreal Protocol phase-out of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) has required manufacturers to develop refrigeration and air-conditioning systems that use refrigerants that can not damage stratospheric ozone. Most refrigeration industries have adapted their designs to use hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) or hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants; new automobile air- conditioning systems use HFC-134a. These industries are now being affected by scientific investigations of greenhouse warming and questions about the effects of refrigerants on global warming. Automobile air-conditioning has three separate impacts on global warming; (1) the effects of refrigerant inadvertently released to the atmosphere from accidents, servicing, and leakage; (2) the efficiency of the cooling equipment (due to the emission of C0{sub 2} from burning fuel to power the system); and (3) the emission of C0{sub 2} from burning fuel to transport the system. The Total Equivalent Warming Impact (TEWI) is an index that should be used to compare the global warming effects of alternative air-conditioning systems because it includes these contributions from the refrigerant, cooling efficiency, and weight. This paper compares the TEWI of current air-conditioning systems using HFC-134a with that of transcritical vapor compression system using carbon dioxide and systems using flammable refrigerants with secondary heat transfer loops. Results are found to depend on …

Town of Hague Landfill Reclamation Study: Research Ways to Increase Waste Heating Value and Reduce Waste Volume. Final Report (open access)

Town of Hague Landfill Reclamation Study: Research Ways to Increase Waste Heating Value and Reduce Waste Volume. Final Report

Monitored composing was studied as a method for reducing the quantity of waste requiring disposed from a landfill reclamation project. After each of two re-screening steps, composted {open_quotes}soil{close_quotes} from a single long windrow of varying depths and moisture content was subjected to analytical testing to determine its suitability to remain as backfill in a reclaimed landfill site. The remaining uncomposted waste was combusted at a waste-to-energy facility to determine if Btu values were improved. Results indicate that a full-scale composting operation could result in a net decrease of approximately 11 percent in disposal costs. The Btu value of the reclaimed waste was calculated to be 4,500 to 5,000 Btu/lb. The feasibility of composting reclaimed waste at other landfill reclamation projects will depend upon site-specific technical and economic factors, including size and nature of the organic fraction of the waste mass, local processing costs, and the cost of waste disposal alternatives.

Toxic organic compounds from energy production. Final technical report, March 1, 1987--November 30, 1995 (open access)

Toxic organic compounds from energy production. Final technical report, March 1, 1987--November 30, 1995

The research supported by this grant has focused on the identification of toxic organic compounds associated with various combustion processes, the elucidation of the fates of these compounds in the environment, and the development of analytical methodology for making these measurements. Studies of the atmospheric transport and fate of combustion generated compounds and research on fundamental mass spectrometry have been major areas of emphasis. These projects are all responsive to the DOE`s interest in the pathways and mechanisms by which energy related agents move through and are modified by the atmosphere and on new and more sensitive technologies for chemical measurements. Over the years, this grant supported the training of about 20 graduate students and post-doctoral associates, many of whom are now doing environmental chemistry research in industrial or governmental laboratories.

Transportation Statistics Annual Report 1997 (open access)

Transportation Statistics Annual Report 1997

This document is the fourth Transportation Statistics Annual Report (TSAR) prepared by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) for the President and Congress. As in previous years, it reports on the state of U.S. transportation system at two levels. First, in Part I, it provides a statistical and interpretive survey of the system—its physical characteristics, its economic attributes, aspects of its use and performance, and the scale and severity of unintended consequences of transportation, such as fatalities and injuries, oil import dependency, and environment impacts. Part I also explores the state of transportation statistics, and new needs of the rapidly changing world of transportation. Second, Part II of the report, as in prior years, explores in detail the performance of the U.S. transportation system from the perspective of desired social outcomes or strategic goals. This year, the performance aspect of transportation chosen for thematic treatment is “Mobility and Access,” which complements past TSAR theme sections on “The Economic Performance of Transportation” (1995) and “Transportation and the Environment” (1996). Mobility and access are at the heart of the transportation system’s performance from the user’s perspective. In what ways and to what extent does the geographic freedom provided by transportation enhance personal …
