We present here results of our study of the 5-m-long AC transmission tine model with 1 kA current capability at 77 K. Primary attention was paid to the current characteristics and AC losses in individual tapes and in the core of the cable. The losses were measured as a function of AC magnetic field amplitude in various orientations of magnetic field with respect to the plane of the tape and filaments. Hysteresis losses were. close to the losses in the AC regime, meaning that eddy current losses in tapes may be neglected when compared with hysteresis losses. We designed and constructed a 5-m-long model of the AC transmission line using multi filamentary Bi-2223 tapes. The current core of the model contains 120 tapes for the forward line and 120 tapes for the backward line. The AC losses in the current core were substantially greater than those seen in the individual tapes. The reason for this is related to a complex magnetic field distribution inside the current core.

This report describes the fabrication and testing of continuous fiber ceramic composite (CFCC) based hot gas filters. The fabrication approach utilized a modified filament winding method that combined both continuous and chopped fibers into a novel microstructure. The work was divided into five primary tasks. In the first task, a preliminary set of compositions was fabricated in the form of open end tubes and characterized. The results of this task were used to identify the most promising compositions for sub-scale filter element fabrication and testing. In addition to laboratory measurements of permeability and strength, exposure testing in a coal combustion environment was performed to asses the thermo-chemical stability of the CFCC materials. Four candidate compositions were fabricated into sub-scale filter elements with integral flange and a closed end. Following the 250 hour exposure test in a circulating fluid bed combustor, the retained strength ranged from 70 t 145 percent of the as-fabricated strength. The post-test samples exhibited non-catastrophic failure behavior in contrast to the brittle failure exhibited by monolithic materials. Filter fabrication development continued in a filter improvement and cost reduction task that resulted in an improved fiber architecture, the production of a net shape flange, and an improved low …

Powder-in-tube (PIT) processing was used to fabricate multifilamentary Ag-clad Bi{sub 2}Sr{sub 2}Ca{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub y} (Bi-2223) superconductors for various electric power applications. Enhancements in the transport current properties of long lengths of multifilament tapes were achieved by increasing the packing density of the precursor powder, improving the mechanical deformation, and adjusting the cooling rate. The dependence of the critical current density on magnetic field and temperature for the optimally processed tapes was measured. J{sub c} was greater than 10{sup 4} (A/cm{sup 2}) at 20 K for magnetic field up to 3 T and parallel to the c-axis which is of interest for use in refrigerator coded magnets. An attempt was made to combine the good alignment of Bi-2223 grains in Ag-sheathed superconducting tapes to obtain high J{sub c} values at high temperature and low field, and good intrinsic pinning of YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7{minus}d} (Y-123) thin film to maintain high J{sub c} values in high fields. A new composite multifilament tape was fabricated such that the central part contained Bi-2223 filaments, with the primary function of conducting the transport current. The central Bi-2223 filaments were surrounded by Y-123 thin film to shield the applied magnetic field and protect the Bi-2223 …

A multi-stage and -step analysis of sequences of crises or exchanges shows that aggressiveness on one side can induce rapid counter-value strikes by the other as well and knowledge that opponents will later become less aggressive does not mitigate the tendency to strike early in crises.

We have conducted a series of experiments using the Nova laser facility at LLNL and corresponding simulations using the two-dimensional, Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian hydrodynamics code CALE. The purpose of this work was to study the shock-driven, hydrodynamic behavior of a right-cylinder perturbation. The accuracy of our simulations is examined by comparison with the experiments.

A letter from Donald J. Killeen to Nancy Reynolds, inviting them to the National Arts Education Consortium national meeting.

LLCEDATA and LLCECALC for Windows are user-friendly computer software programs that work together to determine the proper waste designation, handling, and disposition requirements for Long Length Contaminated Equipment (LLCE). LLCEDATA reads from a variety of data bases to produce an equipment data file (EDF) that represents a snapshot of both the LLCE and the tank it originates from. LLCECALC reads the EDF and a gamma assay (AV2) file that is produced by the Flexible Receiver Gamma Energy Analysis System. LLCECALC performs corrections to the AV2 file as it is being read and characterizes the LLCE. Both programs produce a variety of reports, including a characterization report and a status report. The status report documents each action taken by the user, LLCEDATA, and LLCECALC. Documentation for LLCEDATA and LLCECALC for Windows is available in three volumes. Volume 1 is a user`s manual, which is intended as a quick reference for both LLCEDATA and LLCECALC. Volume 2 is a technical manual, and Volume 3 is a software verification and validation document.

The ANN-GA approach to design optimization integrates two well-known computational technologies, artificial neural networks (AN%) and the genetic algorithm (GA), with a simple scheme for exploiting a network of common workstations to reduce the computational burden associated with applying formal optimization techniques to subsurface engineering problems. The greatest computational investment in a design project of the kind which will be described in this paper is in the simulation of physical processes needed to calculate the cost function. The ANN-GA methodology addresses this problem by training ANNs to stand in for the simulator during the course of a search directed by the GA. The ANNs are trained and tested from examples stored in a reusable knowledge base of representative simulations which relate variations in the design parameters to predicted outcomes for the particular engineering problem being studied. The maximum amount of information from each simulation is saved, subject to storage limitations. The creation of the knowledge base is itself a sizeable computational investment, one that pays off if it is used to train a variety of networks for different searches and/or for use in other contexts such as sensitivity analyses. A diagram of the components of the methodology is given in …
