Fabrication and downhole testing of moving through casing resistivity apparatus. [Quarterly] report, July 1, 1993--September 30, 1993

Description: This is a continuing research effort into the new field of measuring resistivity of geological formations from within cased wells. Additional data confirming the feasibility of the technology is to be taken in a test well with the existing stop-hold-and-lock apparatus which is called the Thru Casing Resistivity Apparatus (TCRA). After that data is obtained, the already existing mechanical apparatus developed in an earlier phase of the project will then be modified and new electronic components … more

Dependence of the Josephson coupling of unconventional superconductors on the properties of the tunneling barrier

Description: The Josephson coupling between a conventional and an unconventional superconductor is investigated as a function of the properties of the tunneling barrier. A simple model is adopted for the tunneling probability and it is shown that its variation dramatically affects the I{sub c}R{sub n} product of an s-d, as opposed to an s-s junction. Based on these conclusions, experiments are proposed to probe the symmetry of the order parameter in high temperature superconductors.

Suppression of fine ash formation in pulverized coal flames. Quarterly technical progress report No. 6, January 1, 1994--March 31, 1994

Description: During the present quarter the model was coded and tested on the Illinois coal. Some features of the process need discussion. After devolatilization, the char particle heats towards its steady-state combustion temperature. At approximately 1200--1300 K, the particle quickly goes from a temperature where the equilibrium sodium vapor pressure is negligible to a temperature where it is at one atmosphere. This shows that the sodium vaporization occurs under non-isothermal conditions, although the r… more

Heteronuclear probes of coal structure and reactivity. Quarterly report, January--March 1994

Description: One of the goals of the proposal is to employ solution {sup 31}P NMR spectroscopy in tandem with HPLC to speciate and quantitate phenols in coal resids. As solution {sup 31}P NMR tagging agents, we are using both 1 and 2 since the {sup 31}P chemical shifts provided by each are different for identical phenols. This allows a cross-check on the indentity of phenols (especially isomeric examples) as well as their concentration. By building a library of {sup 31}P chemical shifts of a wide variety of… more

Passive vapor extraction feasibility study

Description: Demonstration of a passive vapor extraction remediation system is planned for sites in the 200 West Area used in the past for the disposal of waste liquids containing carbon tetrachloride. The passive vapor extraction units will consist of a 4-in.-diameter pipe, a check valve, a canister filled with granular activated carbon, and a wind turbine. The check valve will prevent inflow of air that otherwise would dilute the soil gas and make its subsequent extraction less efficient. The granular act… more

Description: This project is designed to investigate the geochemical, geological, and production parameters that control the occurrence of naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM) in oil-and gas-field operations. Relations between reservoir setting and NORM content of brine and scale will be interpreted on the basis of the geochemistry of natural radioactivity in oil and gas reservoirs, the compositions of produced water and production-equipment scale, and geochemical modeling to determine the type a… more

Research program on fractured petroleum reservoirs. Quarterly report, January 1--March 31, 1994

Description: We have developed a simple method to account for reinfiltration and capillary continuity processes in a grid cell that may contain a large number of matrix blocks. This method requires fine grid simulation of a three-block stack. The proposed technique also takes into account the variation of capillary pressure, and even permeability and height variation among various matrix blocks reasonably well.

Crystalline beams: The string

Description: The authors study the possibility of storing a string of charged particles in a magnetic ring. They define the equilibrium configuration, and examine the confinement conditions. Subsequent, they derive the transfer matrix for motion through a drift, a quadrupole, and a dipole. They finally study the stability of the string as the space-charge force is increased.

Interface control document between PUREX/UO{sub 3} Plant Transition and Solid Waste Disposal Division

Description: This interface control document (ICD) between PUREX/UO{sub 3} Plant Transition (PPT) and Solid Waste Disposal Division (SWD) establishes at a top level the functional responsibilities of each division where interfaces exist between the two divisions. Since the PUREX Transition and Solid Waste Disposal divisions operate autonomously, it is important that each division has a clear understanding of the other division`s expectations regarding these interfaces. This ICD primarily deals with solid wa… more

Nonlinear magnetohydrodynamics. Progress report, July 1, 1993--June 30, 1994

Description: Work has continued to focus on resistive, viscous, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) steady states that model tokamak configurations. Recent emphasis has been on the subject of plasma rotation, and the stabilizing effects it has on the kind of MHD activity that results when current thresholds are exceeded in non-rotating configurations. The author believes that relatively superficial consequences of the effects of rotation (e.g., the {open_quotes}velocity shear layer,{close_quotes} which must result wh… more

Steady-state and transient modeling of tracer and nutrient distributions in the global ocean. Progress report, August 1, 1993--July 31, 1994

Description: We have completed the studies using the inorganic carbon cycle in the zonally averaged ocean circulation model to calculate anthropogenic uptake of CO, and bomb radiocarbon. While our results are in broad agreement with previous studies, we have learned that horizontal mixing processes due to gyre circulation are important for transient tracer experiments over a few decades. These findings are in press. Using the inorganic carbon cycle model we have started to look at the distributions of {delt… more

Direct aromatization of methane. Quarterly technical progress report No. 6, January 1, 1994--March 31, 1994

Description: The thermal decomposition of methane shows significant potential as a process for the production of higher unsaturated and aromatic hydrocarbons when the extent of the reaction is limited. Preliminary experiments have shown that cooling the product and reacting gases as the reaction proceeds can significantly reduce or eliminate the formation of solid carbon and heavier (C{sub 10}+) materials. Much work remains in optimizing the quenching process and this is one of the goals of this program. We… more
