Equations for Bilateral Heat Transfer to Fluids Flowing in Concentric Annuli (open access)

Equations for Bilateral Heat Transfer to Fluids Flowing in Concentric Annuli

Abstract: "Theoretical equations have been derived for calculating heat transfer coefficients for fluids flowing through concentric annuli for the following two cases: (A) constant and equal heat fluxes from both walls, and (B) constant, but unequal, heat fluxes from the walls, with equal wall temperatures at a given axial position along annular channel. In the derivations, the conditions of fully-established flow, and independence of physical properties with temperature variation across the flow channel, were assumed. The only geometrical parameter in this general case is the radius ratio r2/r1, and in the study it was varied from 1.0 to 10.0."

A Needle in a Haystack (open access)

A Needle in a Haystack

Abstract: "Production of [rho]'s and [omega]'s in [pi]- + p and p + [letter p with a bar over it] interactions is discussed. The [rho] is presumably a J = 1-, 1 = 1 state and thus can decay into 2[pi]'s via a strong coupling. The [omega] is probably J = 1-, 1 = 0 which can also decay into 2[pi]'s via electromagnetic coupling. A theoretical description of this situation is presented in terms of coupled time-dependent Schroedinger equations which mix [rho] and [omega] states that are assumed to be isotopically pure at the time of production. The interference between the two resonances was found to have the effect of extending the 2[pi] spectrum toward the [omega] mass."

Pathologic and Behavioral Changes in Mice Following CNS Deuteron Irradiation (open access)

Pathologic and Behavioral Changes in Mice Following CNS Deuteron Irradiation

From introduction: "The specific aims of this study were the following: (1) To produce radiogenic lesions by 1 mm deuteron beams at a dose of 8,000 rads directed unilaterally and bilaterally to the parietal areas and unilaterally to the cerebellum, and by two 9 x 0.025 mm microbeams, 0.5 mm apart, applied across the neocerebellar cortex at 72,000 rads; and (2) to relate these histopathologically demonstrable alterations to possible behavioral changes following irradiation. Since these radiogenic lesions may produce some selective functional alterations in sensory, associative, and motor processes, it was deemed essential to utilize a variety of behavioral screening tests. These tests included (a) the open field test based upon exploratory behavior; (b) spontaneous locomotor activity in activity wheels, and (c) stress reactivity under shock motivated escape-avoidance conditions.

Graphite Problems in Air-Cooled Reactors (open access)

Graphite Problems in Air-Cooled Reactors

This report discusses problems affecting the long-term use of graphite in air-cooled reactors. The report identifies these problems as oxidation, radiation induced dimensional expansions and accumulation of stored energy. The report finds that "frequent low temperature annealing eliminates these problems and may extend the lifetime of the graphite indefinitely." (From abstract)

The Temperature Dependence of Birefringence in Irradiated Polyethylene (open access)

The Temperature Dependence of Birefringence in Irradiated Polyethylene

Technical report on a study where the birefringence of irradiated polyethylene was observed as a function of temperature. The data is consistent with a mechanism in which crosslinking limits the growth and annealing of crystallites. Crosslinks formed in material which was oriented at the time the crosslinks were formed, results in an oriented gel. This effect explains the birefringence and the persistence of nucleation sites at high temperatures.
