Effective length measurements of prototype Main Injector Dipole endpacks

Description: An endpack design has been developed for the Fermilab Main Injector Dipole. A major part of the design process was the testing of a series of prototype removable endpacks. The magnetic parameters that were tested included the effective length and the field shape variation. This report presents a description of the measurement techniques and the results for the effective length. The final endpack has an effective length at 1500 A (0.29T) of 2.6 [plus minus] 0.3 mm greater than the steel length, … more

Weld overlay coatings for erosion control

Description: A literature review was made. In spite of similarities between abrasive wear and solid particle erosion, weld overlay hardfacing alloys that exhibit high abrasion resistance may not necessarily have good erosion resistance. The performance of weld overlay hardfacing alloys in erosive environments has not been studied in detail. It is believed that primary-solidified hard phases such as carbides and intermetallic compounds have a strong influence on erosion resistance of weld overlay hardfacing … more

Reversed-field pinch studies in the Madison Symmetric Torus

Description: Studies of large-size (R = 1.5 m, a = 0.5 m), moderate current (I < 750 kA) reversed-field pinch (RFP) plasmas are carried out in the Madison Symmetric Torus in order to evaluate and improve RFP confinement, study general toroidal plasma MHD issues, determine the mechanism of the RFP dynamo, and measure fluctuation-induced transport and anomalous ion heating. MST confinement has been improved by reduction of magnetic field errors with correction coils in the primary circuit and reduction of imp… more

Results of a baseflow tritium survey of surface water in Georgia across from the Savannah River Site

Description: In October 1991 the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (GDNR) issued a press release notifying the public that tritium had been measured in elevated levels (1,200 - 1,500 pCi/1) in water samples collected from drinking water wells in Georgia across from the Savannah River Site in Aiken Co. South Carolina. None of the elevated results were above the Primary Drinking Water Standard for tritium of 20,000 pCi/l. The GDNR initiated 2 surveys to determine the source and extent of elevated tritiu… more

Description: Review of SRT-CMA-930039, ``Nuclear Criticality Safety Evaluation (NCSE): DWPF Melter-Batch 1,`` December 1, 1993, has been performed by the Savannah River Technical Center (SRTC) Applied Physics Group. The NCSE is a criticality assessment of the Melt Cell in the DWPF. Additionally, this pertains only to Batch 1 operation, which differs from batches to follow. Plans for subsequent batch operations call for fissile material in the Salt Cell feed-stream, which necessitates a separate criticality … more

Effect of pretreating of host oil on coprocessing. Quarterly progress report, July 1, 1993--September 30, 1993

Description: The principal objective of this research is to gain information on the role that host petroleum-derived oils (1000F+), as well as that of catalytically treated host oils, play when used as liquefaction solvents in coprocessing with coal. The host oil will be extensively characterized and then pretreated in a number of ways which involve catalytic reactions such as hydrogenation, hydrocracking, and isomerization. The pretreated oils will then be characterized by elemental analysis, catalytic deh… more

Scaling 2XIIB impurity radiation to BPNS

Description: In this paper the author computes the radiative power losses which would be expected from the beam-plasma neutron source, which is proposed as a neutron source for doing accelerated end-of-life testing of fusion reactor materials. The source is based on a high density tritium target, bombarded with a deuterium beam of energy 120 to 150 keV. Oxygen was observed to be a major source of power loss for beam injection into the 2XIIB device, and the author considers that problem here. Oxygen impuriti… more

A mechanistic study of molecular sieving inorganic membranes for gas separations. Final report, [August 1, 1992--July 31, 1993]

Description: The permeability of gases with kinetic diameters of 2.89 {Angstrom} to 3.9 {Angstrom} were measured through microporous silica hollow fiber membranes at 298 K to 473 K at 20 atm feed gas pressure. Permeabilities ranged from 0.01 Barrer to 1000 Barrer and were inversely proportional to the kinetic diameter of the penetrant. Linear Arrhenius plots were obtained from permeability data activation energies ranged from 7.5 to 13.5 kcal/mole. The activation energies for the hollow Tiber membranes were… more

Surface path lines in plane stokes flow driven by capillarity

Description: Consider the free creeping viscous plane flow in a region, bounded by a simple smooth closed curve and driven solely by surface tension. The shape evolution may in principle, and often in practice, be described by a time-dependent mapping z = {Omega}({zeta},t) of the unit circle, conformal on {vert_bar}{zeta}{vert_bar} {le} 1. It is shown that the path lines of fluid elements at the surface are determined by a first-order ordinary differential equation involving {Omega}({zeta},t), together with… more

Horizontal oil well applications and oil recovery assessment. Technical progress report, April--June 1994

Description: Thousands of horizontal wells are being drilled each year in the U.S.A. and around the world. Horizontal wells have increased oil and gas production rates 3 to 8 times those of vertical wells in many areas and have converted non-economic oil reserves to economic reserves. However, the use of horizontal technology in various formation types and applications has not always yielded anticipated success. The primary objective of this project is to examine factors affecting technical and economic suc… more

LHe Flow Regime/Pressure Drop for D0 Solenoid at Steady State Conditions

Description: This paper describes in a note taking format what was learned from several sources on two phase liquid helium flow regimes and pressure drops as applied to the D-Zero solenoid upgrade project. Calculations to estimate the steady state conditions for the D-Zero solenoid at 5, 10 and 15 g/s are also presented. For the lower flow rates a stratified type regime can be expected with a pressure drop less than 0.5 psi. For the higher flow rate a more homogeneous flow regime can be expected with a pres… more
