Additional cooling and heating load improvements in seasonal performance modeling of room and central air conditioners and heat pumps. Topical report, Subtask 3. 2

Description: The study focuses on improving the load modeling technique of Seasonal Performance Model (SPM) in order to estimate a more realistic load for seasonal analysis calculations on an hourly basis. A computer simulation program, Seasonal Performance Model Load (SPMLD), was used to calculate the cooling and heating loads for a typical residence in Caribou, Maine; Columbia, Missouri; and Fort Worth, Texas. The derivation of the SPMLD is described and changes made to improve cooling and heating load es… more

Buildup studies of a tandem mirror reactor with inboard thermal barriers

Description: The build-up and quasi-steady state phases of the operation of the tandem mirror experiment, TMX, and of a tandem mirror machine with inboard thermal barriers, MFTF-B, have been simulated using a fluid model of the central cell and plug plasmas. The fluid model incorporates classical radial transport, three-dimensional cold gas transport in cylindrical geometry, and neutral beam transport corrected for finite-Larmor-orbit effects in both the central cell and yin yang end plugs.

Current results of the tandem mirror experiment

Description: The basic operating characteristics of the Tandem Mirror Experiment, (TMX) at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory in the USA have been established. Tandem-mirror plasmas have been produced using neutral-beam-fueled end plugs and a gas-fueled center cell. An axial potential well between the end plugs has been measured. There is direct evidence that this potential well enhances the axial confinement of the center-cell ions. The observed densities and loss currents are consistent with preliminary st… more

Efficient ultrasonic grinding: a new technology for micron-sized coal. Quarterly technical progress report No. 1, September 15-December 15, 1979

Description: During the first quarter, preliminary testing demonstrated the ability of ultrasonically enhanced comminution to increase fraction of -200 mesh particles by 100 to 500% over mechanical grinding alone. Modification of the preliminary ultrasonic comminution process to include cycles of ultrasonic activation followed by removal of fines has shown a significant increase in the production of -325 mesh particles (-44 microns) with substantial fractions in the -20 micron and -10 micron ranges. Efforts… more

Evaluation of the mouse micronucleus test as compared with the in vivo cytogenics test for mutagenicity of synthetic fuel materials. Topical report

Description: This brief topical report, provides information on a comparison of the mouse micronucleus mutagenic test proposed by a DOE contractor (FMC) for coal derived chemicals; as compared with the in vivo cytogenic test. The latter procedure is repotedly preferred by EPA authorities connected with implementation of the toxic substances control act (TOSCA). This evaluation was performed at the request of Headquarters DOE program management staff. The mouse micronucleus test takes less time and costs app… more

Handbook for the marketing of conservation and solar-energy programs

Description: A process-oriented approach is described for encouraging community level energy conservation and planning programs. The approach is designed to augment existing energy programs by focusing on the major barriers to changing current energy-related behavior and attitudes. A variety of concepts, tools and techniques which can be used to overcome these barriers are described. Suggestions are offered on how to design community energy campaign based on the concepts, tools and techniques described. Som… more

High-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR): long term program plan

Description: The FY 1980 effort was to investigate four technology options identified by program participants as potentially viable candidates for near-term demonstration: the Gas Turbine system (HTGR-GT), reflecting its perceived compatibility with the dry-cooling market, two systems addressing the process heat market, the Reforming (HTGR-R) and Steam Cycle (HTGR-SC) systems, and a more developmental reactor system, The Nuclear Heat Source Demonstration Reactor (NHSDR), which was to serve as a basis for bo… more

Hybrid reactors. [Fuel cycle]

Description: The rationale for hybrid fusion-fission reactors is the production of fissile fuel for fission reactors. A new class of reactor, the fission-suppressed hybrid promises unusually good safety features as well as the ability to support 25 light-water reactors of the same nuclear power rating, or even more high-conversion-ratio reactors such as the heavy-water type. One 4000-MW nuclear hybrid can produce 7200 kg of /sup 233/U per year. To obtain good economics, injector efficiency times plasma gain… more

Progress in direct heat applications projects

Description: The development of hydrothermal energy for direct heat applications is being aided by twenty-two demonstration projects that are funded on a cost-sharing basis by the US Department of Energy, Division of Geothermal Energy. These projects are designed to demonstrate the technical and economic feasibility of the direct use of geothermal heat in the United States. Twelve of these projects are administered by the DOE-Idaho Operations Office with technical support from EG and G Idaho, Inc. Engineeri… more

Relationship between the DOE loan guaranty and California Environmental Quality Act environmental review processes

Description: The US Department of Energy (DOE) is involved in numerous geothermal research, development, demonstration, and loan guaranty projects in the State of California. These projects often require the preparation of both an Environmental Impact Report (EIR), as required by California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and an Environmental Assessment (EA) or Impact Statement (EIS) as required under NEPA. DOE adoption or utilization of information contained in EIR's to meet that agency's NEPA requiremen… more
