Aluminum: Aluminum Scrap Decoater

NICE3 and the Philip Services Corporation are cost-sharing a demonstration project to decoat metal using indirect-fired controlled-atmosphere (IDEX) kilns, which can both process solid organics such as rubber and plastics, and minimize dust formation and emission of volatile organic compounds. The publication explains how this cost-effective, two-step system operates.

Aluminum: Reflective Aluminum Chips

This fact sheet reveals how the use of reflective aluminum chips on rooftops cuts down significantly on heat absorption, thus decreasing the need for air conditioning. The benefits, including energy savings that could reach the equivalent of 1.3 million barrels of oil annually for approximately 100,000 warehouses, are substantial.

The Band Gap of AlGaN Alloys (open access)

The Band Gap of AlGaN Alloys

The band gap of AlXGal.XN is measured for the composition range 0s<0.45; the resulting bowing parameter, b=+O.69 eV, is compared to 20 previous works. A correlation is found between the measured band gaps and the methods used for epitaxial growth of the AlXGal_XN: directly nucleated or buffered growths of AlXGal-XN initiated at temperatures T>800 C on sapphire usually lead to stronger apparent bowing (b> +1.3 eV); while growths initiated using low-temperature buffers on sapphire, followed by high-temperature growth, lead to weaker bowing (b<+ 1.3 eV). Extant data suggests that the correct band-gap bowing parameter for AlXGal-XN is b=+O.62 (N.45) eV.

GAO noted that: (1) the rule would establish the animal health regulations to provide for the payment of indemnity for the voluntary depopulation of herds of swine known to be infected with pseudorabies; (2) APHIS states that the payment of indemnity will encourage depopulation of infected herds and, therefore, will reduce the risk of other swine becoming infected with the disease; and (4) APHIS complied with applicable requirements in promulgating the rule."

The design for the LCLS rf photo-injector (open access)

The design for the LCLS rf photo-injector

We report on the design of the rf photoinjector of the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS). The rf photoinjector is required to produce a single 150 MeV bunch of {approximately}1 nC and {approximately}100 A peak current at a repetition rate of 120 Hz with a normalized rms transverse emittance of {approximately}1 {pi} mm-mrad. The design employs a 1.6-cell S-band rf gun with an optical spot size at the cathode of a radius of {approximately}1 mm and a pulse duration with an rms sigma of {approximately}3 ps. The peak rf field at the cathode is 150 MV/m with extraction 57 {degree} ahead of the rf peak. A solenoidal field near the cathode allows the compensation of the initial emittance growth by the end of the injection linac. Spatial and temporal shaping of the laser pulse striking the cathode will reduce the compensated emittance even further. Also, to minimize the contribution of the thermal emittance from the cathode surface, while at the same time optimizing the quantum efficiency (QE), the laser wavelength for a Cu cathode should be tunable around 260 nm. Following the injection linac the geometric emittance simply damps linearly with energy growth. PARMELA simulations show that this design will …

Development and implementation of information systems for the DOE's National Analytical Management Program (NAMP). (open access)

Development and implementation of information systems for the DOE's National Analytical Management Program (NAMP).

The Department of Energy (DOE) faces a challenging environmental management effort, including environmental protection, environmental restoration, waste management, and decommissioning. This effort requires extensive sampling and analysis to determine the type and level of contamination and the appropriate technology for cleanup, and to verify compliance with environmental regulations. Data obtained from these sampling and analysis activities are used to support environmental management decisions. Confidence in the data is critical, having legal, regulatory, and therefore, economic impact. To promote quality in the planning, management, and performance of these sampling and analysis operations, DOE's Office of Environmental Management (EM) has established the National Analytical Management Program (NAMP). With a focus on reducing the estimated costs of over $200M per year for EM's analytical services, NAMP has been charged with developing products that will decrease the costs for DOE complex-wide environmental management while maintaining quality in all aspects of the analytical data generation. As part of this thrust to streamline operations, NAMP is developing centralized information systems that will allow DOE complex personnel to share information about EM contacts at the various sites, pertinent methodologies for environmental restoration and waste management, costs of analyses, and performance of contracted laboratories.

Development of a $10/kW bipolar separator plate. Technical quarterly progress report, October 1--December 31, 1998 (open access)

Development of a $10/kW bipolar separator plate. Technical quarterly progress report, October 1--December 31, 1998

In the first year of this program, October 1, 1997 to September 30, 1998, the Institute of Gas Technology and its sub-contractors, Stimsonite Corporation and Superior Graphite Company have achieved the objectives to develop a low-cost molded bipolar plate and to design a conceptual mass production molding line. Specifically the authors have: identified low-cost materials for a moldable graphite blend separator plate; molded complex shape bipolar separator plates with fine details; met DOE target values for electrical, chemical, and physical properties; shown the molded plates comparable to machined graphite in single fuel cells; and designed a conceptual rapid manufacturing line to manufacture the plates. All of the objectives in the first year of the project have been accomplished. The DOE cost target of $10 per kW appears to be achievable with the low cost composite materials. All of the critical electrical, chemical, and physical properties of the molded separator plates have met or exceeded the DOE specifications. Performance and endurance tests of the molded plates in single cells have shown comparable performance to state-of-art machined graphite separator plates. During this quarter, October 1 to December 31, 1998, with technical approval from DOE and 3-month interim funding, the authors made a …

A diode-pumped channel waveguide laser fabricated in Nd: phosphate glass (open access)

A diode-pumped channel waveguide laser fabricated in Nd: phosphate glass

We report on the laser performance of a Nd:phosphate glass (Nd:IOG-1) channel waveguide laser fabricated by electric field assisted Ag{sup +} diffusion. Lasing was achieved in two different size channels, 29 x 9 {micro}m{sup 2} and 50 x 9 {micro}m{sup 2}, on a sample of length 8 mm. Slope efficiencies of {approximately} 15% with respect to incident pump power were measured. Losses in the 29 um wide channel were measured to be in the range 0.2--1.1 dB/cm and in the 50 mm channel, 0.2--0.4 dB/cm. The laser spectrum, centered about the emission peak of 1053 nm, was multimode and randomly polarized.

EFFECTS OF FAULTED STRATIGRAPHY ON SATRUATED ZONE FLOW BENEATH YUCCA MOUNTAIN, NEVADA (open access)

EFFECTS OF FAULTED STRATIGRAPHY ON SATRUATED ZONE FLOW BENEATH YUCCA MOUNTAIN, NEVADA

We have analyzed evaporation in high-level waste emplacement boreholes in unsaturated rock. Water dripping onto waste containers is assumed to spread and form a thin film on the container surface. Evaporation will occur due to decay heat and the difference in vapor pressure between water in a flat film and water held in rock pores with curved interfaces. They study evaporation in still air in the one-dimensional system shown in Figure 1. {delta} is the liquid film thickness and L + {delta} is the gap width. They assume motionless liquid-gas interfaces, ideal gases, constant total gas pressure, no gravitational effects, and local thermodynamic equilibrium between water liquid and vapor. Vapor pressure on the water film is described by Clapeyron equation. Vapor pressure in rock pores is described by Kelvin and Clapeyron equations. They solve the coupled energy conduction in liquid and vapor. Vapor pressure on the water film is described by Clapeyron equation. Vapor pressure in rock pores is described by Kelvin and Clapeyron equations. They solve the coupled energy (conduction in liquid and conduction and convection in gas) and mass (vapor-air binary diffusion) transport equations for quasi steady state to obtain the evaporative flux as a function of time.
