Analytical Chemistry of the Polyphosphates

Description: Additional data were obtained on the separation of linear polymers from cyclic polymers by precipitation with barium chloride. An unexpected peak was observed in the anion-exchange chromatography of a sodium poly-phosphate of n-bar average degree of polymerization) = 6, and the compound represented by this peak was isolated. An end-group titration of this compound by microtechnique proved unequivocally that it is a cyclic phosphate. Although the identification (number of phosphorus atoms per mo… more

AN IBM 7090 FORTRAN PROGRAM FOR ASME UNFIRED PRESSURE VESSEL DESIGN AND PRELIMINARY COST ESTIMATION

Description: An IBM 7090 FORTRAN program was written for the preliminary design and cost estimation of unfired pressure vessels with or without a jacket. Both vessel and jacket designs conform to the 1959 ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, Unfired Pressure Vessels. Vessels and jackets from 5 in. pipe through 84 in. o.d. and 1/4 in. through 1 1/2 in. in metal thickness may be designed by this program as written. Total vessel cost is the sum of metal and fabrication costs, each on a weight ba… more

Prototype photon position monitors for undulator beams at the Advanced Light Source

Description: Design criteria are described, and test results are presented, for prototype ALS undulator beam position monitors. The design is based on monitors presently in use at NSLS, with modifications to account for the widely varying and large K values of the undulators to be installed at the ALS. In particular, we have modified the design to simplify the thermal engineering and we have explored techniques to suppress the response of the monitors to soft photons, so that the beam position can be determ… more

THE CYCLOTRON RESONANCE INSTABILITY WITH NEGATIVE MASS IONS

Description: Both the effect of resonant coupling of ion cyclotron motion to electron plasma oscillations, as previously discussed by Harris, and the effect of a negative radial gradient in a magnetic mirror field, the so-called "negative mass'' effect, were combined in an approximate calculation for the threshold for electrostatic instability in DCX. The two mechanisms for instability were found to act more or less independently. (auth)

Separation and Characterization of Coal Derived Components. Quarterly Report, July 1-September 30, 1983

Description: The field-ionization mass spectral hydrocarbon data from F-45 (Wyodak coal-derived SRC) and F-51 (Kentucky 9/14 coal-derived SRC) were recalculated so the various hydrocarbon fractions could be compared directly on a weight percent basis. A computer program was developed which allows the field-ionization mass spectral hydrocarbon data to be compared in a three dimensional fashion. This approach provides for a rapid general comparson of all the field-ionization hydrocarbon data. The solubility o… more

Stimulated Raman scatter in laser fusion target chambers

Description: The target chamber of a laser fusion reactor will contain small amounts of background gases. As the beam is focused, it ionizes the gas and Raman scattering is induced. Density limits on the background gas are found in order that the laser beam will not become appreciably decollimated. It is found that laser bandwidth efficiently decreases the scattering effect.

Methodology for assessing the potential impact on air quality resulting from geothermal resource development in the Imperial Valley

Description: Methodology in use in the Imperial Valley for assessing the potential impact on air quality that may result from the development of geothermal resources is discussed. The installation of a network of air quality stations for characterizing the air quality and atmospheric transport properties in the valley prior to development is discussed. Analyses of geothermal fluids for various gases are performed to evaluate the potential emission rates from future geothermal power plants. The principal pol… more

Mechanical design for TMX injector system

Description: The injector system for the Tandem Mirror Experiment (TMX) contains the components required to create and maintain a high-temperature, high-density plasma. These components include a streaming-plasma gun in each of the plug tanks to form the target-plasma, 24 neutral-beam source modules for injecting neutral deuterium atoms to heat and replace losses from the plasma, and a gas box system that applies a streaming cold gas to the plasma to stabilize it. This paper discusses the mechanical design … more

Periodic Radiation Survey of Reactor Plant Container and Components After Shutdown "F" Survey. Core I, Seed 1. Test Results (T-612076). Section 4

Description: An investigation was conducted to obtain measurements of radiation levels inside the hemispherical heads of the 1-B heat exchanger. The radiation levels were measured at the handholes on two occasions with an interval of 640 hrs between them. A very large increase was noted and could be explained only by the possibility that the measurement survey points were not identical. (J.R.D.)
