Control Dewar and VLPC Bayonet Can Platform Connection Design and Analysis

Description: The four connections for the control dewar and VLPC bayonet can platform are designed, using finite element analysis, to carry all dead weight and live loads. Based on the loads applied to the platform, two 1 inch thick plates and two 3/4 inch thick brackets made of ASTM A572-Grade 42 are required. The 1 inch thick plate requires a 3/8 inch thick intermediate steel material, between the 8-inch x 4-inch x 1/4-inch boom and the plate, for load reinforcement as well as weld area reinforcement.

COMBUSTION CHARACTERIZATION OF COAL-WATER SLURRY FUEL PREPARED FROM PLANT COAL AND RECOVERED COAL FINES

Description: In the process of coal cleaning operations, a significant amount of coal is washed away as waste into the ponds. Clearly, such a large quantity of dumped coal fines has a detrimental effect on the environment. This investigation presents in innovative approach to recover and utilize waste coal fines from the preparation plant effluent streams and tailing ponds. Due to the large moisture content of the recovered coal fines, this study is focused on the utilization of coal fines in the coal-water… more

HAPs-RX(TM)

Description: Coal cleaning is a technology that can solve a broad array of environmental problems associated with older, state-of-the-art, and future electric generating stations. Coal cleaning provides many environmental benefits. It reduces the concentration of inorganic minerals and elements found in association with coal, some of which are potentially toxic even though they are found in coal in only trace amounts. Currently, more sulfur and related S0{sub 2}, is removed by coal cleaning than by all post… more

Summary of the Models and Methods for the FEHM Application-A Finite-Element Heat- and Mass-Transfer Code

Description: The mathematical models and numerical methods employed by the FEHM application, a finite-element heat- and mass-transfer computer code that can simulate nonisothermal multiphase multi-component flow in porous media, are described. The use of this code is applicable to natural-state studies of geothermal systems and groundwater flow. A primary use of the FEHM application will be to assist in the understanding of flow fields and mass transport in the saturated and unsaturated zones below the prop… more

Motor-operated valve (MOV) actuator motor and gearbox testing

Description: Researchers at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory tested the performance of electric motors and actuator gearboxes typical of the equipment installed on motor-operated valves used in nuclear power plants. Using a test stand that simulates valve closure loads against flow and pressure, the authors tested five electric motors (four ac and one dc) and three gearboxes at conditions a motor might experience in a power plant, including such off-normal conditions as operation … more

Electroseismic characterization of lithology and fluid type in the shallow subsurface. Final report, January 15, 1995--January 14, 1997

Description: The U.S. Department of Energy funded the M.I.T. Earth Resources Laboratory to investigate electroseismic phenomena. Because electroseismic phenomena in fluid-saturated porous media provide geophysicists with a unique opportunity to detect a seismic-wave-generated flow of pore fluid with respect to the porous matrix. The term {open_quotes}electroseismic{close_quotes} describes phenomena in which a seismic wave induces an electrical field or causes radiation of an electromagnetic wave. Electrosei… more
