Advanced development of a pressurized ash agglomerating fluidized-bed coal gasification system. Fourth quarter progress report, July 1-September 30, 1982

Description: The overall objective of the Westinghouse coal gasification program is to demonstrate the viability of the Westinghouse pressurized, fluidized bed, gasification system for the production of medium-Btu fuel gas for syngas, electrical power generation, chemical feedstocks, or industrial fuels and to obtain performance and scaleup data for the process and hardware. Technical progress summaries and reports are presented for the following tasks: (1) process development unit (PDU) test operations and… more

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

PSOLV: a code for calculating the potentials and densities in MFTF-B

Description: Code PSOLV solves for potential and densities at the cardinal points of MFTF-B. The code is equipped to handle both the throttle-coil and the axicell geometries. For the throttle-coil case, the potential at point MXO is input, while the potentials and densities at points MAI, b, and A are calculated. For the axicell case, the code must additionally solve for the potentials and densities at points X and MXO. PSOLV is intended primarily for use as a subroutine in TREQ, a code being developed by R… more

Design and evaluation of small water turbines. Final report

Description: An evaluation was made of the design and hydromechanical performance characteristics for three basic turbine types: axial flow (Jonval), inward radial flow (Francis) and crossflow (Banki). A single commercially available turbine representative of each type and within the appropriate power range (<5hp) was obtained for evaluation. Specific turbine selections were based on price, availability and suitability for operation at heads of 50 feet or less and flows under 2 cubic feet per second. In gen… more

BNL neutral-beam development group. Progress report FY 1982

Description: Efforts were concentrated on the development of H/sup -//D/sup -/ sources capable of delivering about 1A of beam current, operating steady state at an energy of several tens of keV and having properties that would allow a scaling up to 10A and their use in a high energy neutral beam line. In the seventies we have developed negative ion sources of the plasms surface type with extracted current densities of several hundred mA/cm/sup 2/. Particularly successful was the development of the magnetron… more

Further effects of ions in the arcs

Description: One of the effects of ions in the SLC arcs was considered by A.W. Chao in CN-121. He estimated that the extra betatron phase shift of particles in the tail of a bunch caused by ions produced by the head was probably tolerable, provided the vacuum was 10/sup -4/ torr or better. This note suggests that a more thorough study of ion effects in the arcs is warranted.

Deregulation of Transportation

Description: Transportation has been substantially deregulated over the last 5 years and there is talk of enacting legislation during the 98th Congress to further deregulate transportation or to restore some of the regulation that recent legislation has removed. This mini brief gives an overview of the deregulation already enacted into law, and some of the ideas being considered for further legislation. The brief also refers to some sources for further reading.

Article Packet: Background Information on Seatbelts in School Buses

Description: This notice from the Department of Transportation, denies a petition for rule-making filed by Physicians for Automotive Safety (PAS), asking this agency to mandate the installation of seat belts on all school buses. NHTSA believes that the currently mandated occupant protections in school buses provide an adequate level of safety protection, and that seat belts would not raise the level of protection for the occupants unless States and local jurisdictions were willing to take steps to ensure th… more
