Development of ultrafiltration and inorganic adsorbents for reducing volumes of low-level and intermediate-level liquid waste: January--March 1978

Description: The exposure of noncellulosic ultrafiltration membranes to a radioactive environment simulating up to 24 months of exposure to a beta dose of 10 ..mu..Ci/cm/sup 3/ and a gamma dose of 10/sup -5/ ..mu..Ci/cm/sup 3/ did not show any conclusive evidence of membrane degradation. Viscosity measurements for control membranes and irradiated membranes indicate no changes in polymer molecular weight were caused by the radiation exposure. This, in turn, suggests no physical or mechanical degradation took… more

Development of mullite substrates and containers. silicon sheet growth development for the Large Area Silicon Sheet Task of the Low-Cost Silicon Solar Array Project. Quarterly report No. 2

Description: A study to develop, evaluate, and fabricate mullite for use in molten silicon containers and silicon sheet substrates for the Low-Cost Silicon Solar Array Project is described. Compositional variations in Mullite formulations have been found to lower the thermal expansion of Mullite. Increased glass phase has been found to lower thermal expansion of fired Mullite bodies. Attempts to lower the thermal expansion to that of Silicon are underway. Sessile drop experiments on a series of composition … more

Brine-Steam Properties Computer Program for Geothermal Energy Calculations. [BPROP7 Code]

Description: A computer program called BPROP7 was written to enable the user to obtain conveniently the thermodynamic properties of brine and water vapor in combination, given at least three of nine parameters. The parameters included in this program are two types of salt content, temperature, pressure, enthalpy, entropy, density or specific volume, quality, and amount of superheat.

A scheme to improve the low energy luminosity in LEP

Description: In the design of large electron positron colliding beam facilities, it has become customary to use a certain optimization procedure to establish desired beam performance. The results of this procedure are the minimum requirements in terms of RF-power, bending radius and focusing to achieve a desired luminosity at a given energy. This procedure, however, neglects the optimization of the storage ring performance below and above that design energy. Below the design energy the luminosity is optimiz… more

LOFT drag-disc turbine tansducer shroud and cover weld analysis and evaluation

Description: The results are presented of stress analysis and evaluation of the drag-disc turbine transducer (DTT) shroud and cover welds used in the Loss-of-Fluid Test (LOFT) facility. The analysis concerns LOFT DTTs currently installed and/or planned for use in future experiments by LOFT Experimental Measurements Branch personnel. Thermal/hydraulic conditions for Experiments L1-5 and L2-4 (for all nuclear tests) were used to predict the loads experienced by the various shroud and cover welds. The results … more

Hybrid photovoltaic/thermal solar energy system

Description: Heating and cooling systems that use hybrid solar energy collectors (combination photovoltaic-thermal) have the potential for considerable energy savings, particularly when the system includes a heat pump. Economic evaluations show that photovoltaic systems are potentially most economical, but results depend critically on future collector costs as well as energy prices. Results are based on a specially developed computer program that predicted the total auxiliary energy required for five differ… more
