Geothermal Energy Resource Investigations in the Eastern Copper River Basin, Alaska

Description: This report consists of a review of the geological, geochemical and geophysical data available for the Eastern Copper River basin with emphasis on the mud volcanoes, and the results of geophysical and geochemical studies carried out in the summers of 1982 and 1984. The purpose was to determine if there are geothermal energy resources in the Copper River Basin. The Eastern Copper River basin is situated on the flanks of a major volcano, Mt. Drum, which was active as late as 200,000 years ago and… more

Ultrasonic longitudinal wave velocity in carbon-carbon Pitch and Pitch/M2 shape stable nosetip material from 70/sup 0/F to 5400/sup 0/F

Description: A pulse echo method was used in two notched rods of carbon-carbon Pitch material and one rod of Pitch/M2 shape stable nosetip material to measure the temperature dependence of the longitudinal wave velocity from room temperature to 5400/sup 0/F. The velocity was constant to within 2% of the room temperature value for the Pitch parent material throughout the temperature range. For the Pitch/M2 material, the velocity increased to a maximum of 10% at 4000/sup 0/F and then decreased rapidly. Room t… more

X-ray diffraction study of reversible deformation mechanisms in the aged uranium-6. 5 niobium alloy

Description: The x-ray diffraction (XRD) data from 200/sup 0/C/2h-aged uranium-6.5 wt % niobium (U-6.5Nb) alloys, taken under stress as a function of strain, revealed a gamma-zero (..gamma../sup 0/)..-->.. alpha prime-prime (..cap alpha..'') thermoelastic martensitic phase transformation. It was concluded that the primary reversible deformation modes consisted of the movement of ..gamma../sup 0//..cap alpha..'' interphase interfaces and ..cap alpha..'' intervariant interfaces. Specimen elasticity at low str… more

Manual for the thermal and hydraulic design of direct contact spray columns for use in extracting heat from geothermal brines

Description: This report outlines the current methods being used in the thermal and hydraulic design of spray column type, direct contact heat exchangers. It provides appropriate referenced equations for both preliminary design and detailed performance. The design methods are primarily empirical and are applicable for us in the design of such units for geothermal application and for application with solar ponds. Methods for design, for both preheater and boiler sections of the primary heat exchangers, for d… more

Black holes, pregalactic stars, and the dark matter problem

Description: We review the different ways in which black holes might form and discuss their various astrophysical and cosmological consequences. We then consider the various constraints on the form of the dark matter and conclude that black holes could have a significant cosmological density only if they are of primordial origin or remnants of a population of pregalactic stars. This leads us to discuss the other cosmological effects of primordial black holes and pregalactic stars. 239 refs., 7 figs., 5 tabs. more

Lectures on probability and statistics. Revision

Description: These notes are based on a set of statistics lectures delivered at Imperial College to the first-year postgraduate students in High Energy Physics. They are designed for the professional experimental scientist. They begin with the fundamentals of probability theory, in which one makes statements about the set of possible outcomes of an experiment, based upon a complete a priori understanding of the experiment. For example, in a roll of a set of (fair) dice, one understands a priori that any giv… more

Characterizing the sources, range, and environmental influences of radon 222 and its decay products

Description: Recent results from our group directly assist efforts to identify and control excessive concentrations of radon 222 and its decay products in residential environments. We have demonstrated directly the importance of pressure-induced flow of soil gas for transport of radon from the ground into houses. Analysis of available information from measurements of concentration in US homes has resulted in a quantitative appreciation of the distribution of indoor levels, including the degree of dependence… more

Evaluation of geologic controls on geothermal anomalies in the Arkoma Basin, Oklahoma

Description: Vitrinite-reflectance techniques were used to determine if there is a relationship between present geothermal gradient and coal rank in the Arkoma Basin. Three coal seams from high geothermal-gradient areas were compared with the same coal seams, respectively, from low geothermal-gradient areas. Samples were obtained from three core holes that were drilled in the high geothermal-gradient areas in Pittsburg and Haskell Counties, and three core holes that were drilled in the low geothermal-gradie… more

Heavy-Ion Fusion System Assessment Project quarterly status report, January-March 1985

Description: A computer model of an accelerator system is a necessary ingredient in estimating the cost of construction and operation of an ion-driven ICF power plant. The LBL computer program LIACEP (Linear Induction Accelerator Cost Evaluation Program) is used to estimate the cost and efficiency of a heavy ion induction linear accelerator as a function of the ion mass, charge and energy for a specified beam output energy, power and pulse repetition frequency. In addition to estimating the accelerator syst… more

Three-dimensional mise-a-la-masse modeling applied to mapping fracture zones

Description: A numerical scheme applying the method of integral equations has been developed for borehole-to-borehole and borehole-to-surface modeling of the apparent resistivity response of a thin conductive body in a half-space; the inhomogeneity simulates a fracture zone. The algorithm is applicable for the direct-current case when the buried electrode is either inside (mise-a-la-masse) or outside (near-miss) the body. In implementing the scheme, the integral equation is transformed into a matrix equatio… more

Superconductor procurement and R and D for SSC

Description: We describe the results of superconductor procurements for SSC dipole model magnets.

Adult Fishway Inspections on the Columbia and Snake Rivers, 1984-1985 Annual Report.

Description: Mainstream projects which have adult fish passage facilities are inspected by project operators, fishway attendants, and state and federal fishery agencies. The overall movement of upstream migrants in 1984 appeared to be satisfactory with few delays. Special efforts were made by fishery agencies and Corps personnel to check on potential problems which appeared to exist at The Dalles and John Day Dams this year. However, adult passage facilities were operating ''in criteria'' and fish may have … more
