Advanced development of a pressurized ash agglomerating fluidized-bed coal gasification system. Quarterly progress report, October 1-December 31, 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. Progress reports are presented for the following tasks: (1) operation and maintenance of the process development unit (PDU); (2) proce… more

Tevatron damper system

Description: A fast beam damper system is currently being built for the Tevatron. The system is similar to the Super Damper system in the main ring with increased bandwidth and a pulsed high power mode for injection errors. The purpose of this writeup is to describe the basics of the system, and some of the reasoning behind its design. Calculations of expected performance are also included.

Aluminum and polymeric coatings for protection of uranium

Description: Ion-plated aluminum films on uranium will not provide adequate protection for 25 years. Magnetron-plated aluminum films on uranium are much better than ion-plated ones. Kel-F 800 films on uranium can provide adequate protection for 25 years. Their use in production must be delayed until the following factors are sorted out: water permeability in Kel-F 800 must be determined between 30 and 60/sup 0/C; the effect of UF/sub 3/, at the Kel-F/metal interface, on the permeability of water must be ass… more

Magnetic-field considerations in superferric dipole

Description: Iron dominated magnets are characterized in the limit of infinite permeability by a pole shape that is a magnetic equipotential. Deviations from this ideal because of finite permeability are associated with differences in path length, local saturation, flux concentration in slotted pole if crenellation is used, and sub surface voids. For moderate field levels the variation in flux path length throughout the iron lowers the magnetic potential on the iron surface more for the longer paths. As the… more

Potential 20-TeV site in Illinois - Dekalb

Description: The Batavia, Illinois location has all the necessary requirements for a major high energy physics laboratory, i.e., near a major airport and road system, many good universities within driving distance, a large pool of technical people in the area, all types of industry nearby, and centrally located. Even with these characteristics usually associated with urban areas, there also exists nearby open land where perhaps a 20 TeV collider could be located. Preliminary studies are being made of potent… more

Mathematical model of a utility firm. Final technical report, Part I

Description: Utility companies are in the predicament of having to make forecasts, and draw up plans for the future, in an increasingly fluid and volatile socio-economic environment. The project being reported is to contribute to an understanding of the economic and behavioral processes that take place within a firm, and without it. Three main topics are treated. One is the representation of the characteristics of the members of an organization, to the extent to which characteristics seem pertinent to the p… more

Waste water heat recovery appliance. Final report

Description: An efficient convective waste heat recovery heat exchanger was designed and tested. The prototype appliance was designed for use in laundromats and other small commercial operations which use large amounts of hot water. Information on general characteristics of the coin-op laundry business, energy use in laundromats, energy saving resources already in use, and the potential market for energy saving devices in laundromats was collected through a literature search and interviews with local laundr… more

Diallyl Phthalate Prepolymer Characterization and Testing in Fiberglass Filled Molding Compounds

Description: A program was undertaken to identify an acceptable alternative to Dapon 35, an o-diallyl phthalate (DAP) prepolymer no longer available. Three o-DAP prepolymers from the Osaka Soda Company and four laboratory-scale prepolymers from Bendix-Kansas city were characterized and evaluated in DAP-fiberglass molding compounds. Gel permeation chromatography results for the Osaka prepolymers showed all three to be very close to one another in molecular weights (mw) and mw distributions, but slightly lowe… more

Klystron voltage pulse timing experiment

Description: SLAC has always operated with the voltage pulse applied to each klystron having a flat-top at least 2.5 ..mu..s long. In this region, the voltage is held constant to +-0.5%, limiting the klystron contribution to beam energy spectrum broadening caused by phase and amplitude modulation of the rf wave travelling along the accelerator sections. Since the section filling time is 0.83 ..mu..s and the maximum beam pulse length is 1.6 ..mu..s, a minimum flat-top duration of 2.43 ..mu..s is required, wh… more

Dioxin: Environmental Impacts and Potential Human Health Effects

Description: This issue brief presents a short background on the physical/chemical properties of dioxin, describes several existing sources of possible human exposure, and highlights what is currently known about its environmental impacts and human health effects. Congressional interest is intense at this time because of large numbers of Vietnam veterans' claims for benefits associated with use of herbicides in that war as well as because of certain incidents of potential significance to health involving di… more

Space Shuttle

Description: The national Aeronautics an6 Space Administration's major manner program of the post-Apollo era is the development of a space transportation system (STS) based on a reusable space shuttle launch vehicle. Funded since FY71, the shuttle program is coming to fruition: the space shuttle successfully completed its series of four test flights on July 4, 1982. The first operational f1ig; fit was successfully completed in November 1982. The next shuttle flight has been delayed because of leaks in one o… more
