Solar production of industrial process steam for the Lone Star Brewery. Final report

Description: This report outlines the detailed design and system analysis of a solar industrial process steam system for the Lone Star Brewery. The industrial plant has an average natural gas usage of 12.7 MMcf per month. The majority of this energy goes to producing process steam of 125 psi and 353/sup 0/F at about 50,000 lb/h, with this load dropping to about 6000 lb/h on the weekends. The maximum steam production of the solar energy system is about 1700 lb/h. The climatic conditions at the industrial sit… more

Rupture of plutonium oxide storage container, March 13, 1979

Description: On March 13, 1979, a plutonium oxide storage can ruptured in the 303-C storage facility, which is in the 300 Area of the Hanford Site, Washington. The facility is operated by the Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNL); three PNL staff members were performing the storage operation. No injuries to these staff members resulted from the occurrence. A Class C Investigation Committee was appointed on March 14, 1979, by the Director, PNL. Subsequently, when the loss estimates became available, the Manager… more

Containment calculation for Burzet

Description: Burzet is a proposed intermediate-yield underground test of a nuclear explosive at the Nevada Test Site. The possible existence of a high Paleozoic scarp and fault within 100 m of the proposed working point created concern as to their effect on the containment of the radioactive gases. A calculation of the expected stress wave interaction at the scarp and fault demonstrates that the effects are negligible. Results of the calculation are those expected from an event in a homogeneous media and ar… more

Algorithms and FORTRAN programs to calculate classical collision integrals for realistic intermolecular potentials. [Classical transport integrals; SCAN; Coll]

Description: Numerical methods and computer programs are given to evaluate, for an arbitrary intermolecular potential, the classical transport collision integrals which appear in the kinetic theory of dilute gases. The method of Gaussian quadrature was employed to integrate the triple integral. A detailed discussion is given of the mathematics necessary to determine the boundaries of the individual integrations as well as a detailed analysis of errors introduced by the numerical procedures. Results for a re… more

Forging evaluaion of 304L stainless steel

Description: The objective of this project was to evaluate and characterize the effects of various forging parameters on the metallographic structure and mechanical properties of 304L stainless steel forgings. Upset and die forgings were produced by hammer and Dynapak forging with forging temperatures ranging from 760 to 1145/sup 0/C, upset reductions ranging from 20 to 60%, and annealing times ranging from 0 to 25 minutes at 843/sup 0/C. The carbide precipitation behavior observed was found to be a functio… more

P. G. and E. Geysers Retrofit Project, Milestone Report No. 3 (Stretford Processes Units 1-12)

Description: Milestone Report No. 3 is a progress report. Rogers Engineering Co., Inc. has investigated what sites are best suited for consolidation of power generating units 1 through 12 for processing the noncondensable gases through the Stretford Process for H{sub 2}S abatement below 10% of the mass flow. The consolidation arrangement for the power generating units are Units 1 through 6 which produces 187 MWe power. Units 7-8 and 11 producing 212 MWe and Units 9-10 and 12 which also produces 212 MWe powe… more

Analytical study of TATB preheating methods

Description: TATB (1,3,5 - triamino 2,4,6 - Trinitrobenzene) is a very stable explosive that is remarkably insensitive to severe impact and thermal environment. Experiments on its initiation and detonation characteristics have found it difficult to initiate under the energy transfer of thin flyer plates accelerated by electrically exploded metal foils. Figure 1 shows the propagation of a detonation front in such an experiment. Generally, the detonation waves are confined in the region directly in front of t… more

MAD-1021 slapper fabrication, LASL P.O. CM8-2909G-1

Description: One hundred MAD-1021 slapper test devices were built to fill the reimbursable order CM8-2909G-1 for W.F. Hemsing of Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory. Physical vapor deposition (PVD) techniques were successfully used to prepare the slapper foil assemblies. The 0. 381 mm square bridge foils were of aluminium 3 micrometers thick. Copper solder pads of 1.0 to 1.5 micrometer thickness were also applied using PVD techniques. A total of 120 were fabricated and submitted to the fabrication group for as… more

Mahalanobis distance and variable selection to optimize dose response

Description: A battery of statistical techniques are combined to improve detection of low-level dose response. First, Mahalanobis distances are used to classify objects as normal or abnormal. Then the proportion classified abnormal is regressed on dose. Finally, a subset of regressor variables is selected which maximizes the slope of the dose response line. Use of the techniques is illustrated by application to mouse sperm damaged by low doses of x-rays.
