Ranking energy-conservation measures to establish research priorities: synopsis of a workshop

Description: A workshop was convened to assist DOE's Technology Assessment Division in evaluating the need to prepare additional environmental- and social-impact assessments of different energy-conservation measures. Attendees participated in a decision-making exercise designed to rank 19 different energy-conservation measures according to their overall potential for achieving important national goals and their ease of implementation. The participants felt that the most-important ranking criteria dealt with… more

Multielement spark-gap switch system. Final report

Description: An engineering study was made to formulate a conceptual design for a multielement arc-type electrical switch system for switching 50,000-amp, 100-nsec or less pulses from a 50,000-v source at up to 1000 ppS. The switch is to have a lifetime of at least 5 x 10/sup 8/ pulse MTBF, litter time less than 10 nsec, closure time of less than 20 nsec, and 10 nh or less inductance. An offset midplane triggered spark gap (TSG) with ultraviolet (uv) preionization and forced air was selected as the most sui… more

Simple model of a plutonium nitrate concentrator

Description: A simple mathematical model of a plutonium nitrate evaporator/concentrator is described and computer code calculations are tested against results from a more complex model. The computer code is capable of computing transient responses of the system to arbitrary stimuli input by the user in an interactive mode. The model is described in detail including mass and energy conservation equations as well as boundary conditions and other system constraints. A closed form solution which is valid under … more

Cost analysis in support of minimum energy standards for clothes washers and dryers

Description: The results of the cost analysis of energy conservation design options for laundry products are presented. The analysis was conducted using two approaches. The first, is directed toward the development of industrial engineering cost estimates of each energy conservation option. This approach results in the estimation of manufacturers costs. The second approach is directed toward determining the market price differential of energy conservation features. The results of this approach are shown. Th… more

Engineering Research Division report on reports calendar year 1978

Description: Each year the Engineering Research Division of the Electronics Engineering Department has issued an internal report listing of all formal publications produced by the division during the calendar year. The report for 1978 is being issued in two sections (the second section has been expanded from the former format due to a change in collection of information implemented during the calendar year 1978). The first section (covering January 1978 through June 1978) lists the titles, report numbers, a… more

Kelvin-Helmholtz-Like Instability of a Shear Layer Subject to Free Boundary Conditions

Description: For free boundary conditions a shear layer with linear velocity profile supports irrotational disturbances, one mode being unstable when its wavelength lambda > 2.619 times the thickness h of the shear layer. For long wavelengths the dispersion relation of the mode approaches Kelvin-Helmholtz form.
