Dynamic Characteristics of Heat Exchanger Tubes Vibrating in a Tube Support Plate Inactive Mode

Description: Tubes in shell-and-tube heat exchangers, including nuclear plant steam generators, derive their support from longitudinally positioned tube support plates (TSPs). Typically there is a clearance between the tube and TSP hole. Depending on design and fabrication tolerances, the tube may or may not contract all of the TSPs. Noncontact results in an inactive TSP which can lead to detrimental flow induced tube vibrations under certain conditions dependent on the resulting tube-TSP interaction dynami… more

Accelerator and Fusion Research Division: summary of activities, 1983

Description: The activities described in this summary of the Accelerator and Fusion Research Division are diverse, yet united by a common theme: it is our purpose to explore technologically advanced techniques for the production, acceleration, or transport of high-energy beams. These beams may be the heavy ions of interest in nuclear science, medical research, and heavy-ion inertial-confinement fusion; they may be beams of deuterium and hydrogen atoms, used to heat and confine plasmas in magnetic fusion exp… more

Evaluation of the /sup 63/Cu activation foil for determining the neutron dose in the energy range of 1 eV to 1 MeV

Description: The appropriateness of the /sup 63/Cu activation foil for determining the neutron dose in the energy region from 1 eV to 1 MeV has been investigated for spectra of seven different criticality accident configurations. A program was written for folding the published spectra with the /sup 63/Cu activation cross sections and with the fluence-to-dose or kerma conversion factors. It is shown that for these spectra the neutron dose and kerma result primarily from the energy region above 15 keV whereas… more

Construction tolerances for low loss, dielectric coated, metallic waveguide for transmission optical radiation

Description: The transmission of radiation, in a specific mode of interest for the IFELA, past a symmetric step in dielectric coating thickness has been calculated. The result shows that the transmission loss depends on the quantity (s/D)/sup 2/ and vanishes to first order in the ratio of the step s to the guide aperture D. With the reasonable assumption that this feature holds for all forms of surface imperfections, the attenuation length due to imperfections has been estimated. It is found that rms surfac… more

Microalgae harvesting and processing: a literature review

Description: The objective of this report is to present a discussion of the literature review performed on methods of harvesting microalgae. There is no single best method of harvesting microalgae. The choice of preferable harvesting technology depends on algae species, growth medium, algae production, end product, and production cost benefit. Algae size is an important factor since low-cost filtration procedures are presently applicable only for harvesting fairly large microalgae. Small microalgae should b… more
