Motion of a Loosely Fitting Piston in a Closed End Cylinder Containing a Perfect Gas

Description: The equations of motion are derived for a piston in a closed end cylinder containing a compressible perfect gas. These equations include the possibility of an arbitrary motion imposed on the cylinder. In the analysis, it is assumed that there is a clearance between the piston and the cylinder which is sufficiently small so that the flow in the gap is controlled by viscous forces.

Class Notes for a PL/I Course

Description: Presented here are notes for a course in PL/I. They might serve as a guide to those who are developing a course, or as class notes for that course. They might be useful as a textbook independent of any course; as such a textbook, however, they are not self-contained because of the built-in assumption that they will supplement lectures and be accompanied by manuals. Very nearly the full language is taught here, with the emphasis on concepts rather than practical details. Discussion of I/O is avo… more

STRONG TURBULENCE and THE ANOMALOUS LENGTH OF STORED PARTICLE BEAMS

Description: A dispersion relation, including strong turbulence, is derived for short-wavelength longitudinal self-perturbations of bunched electron beams. The effects of radiation damping and quantum excitation are included. Assuming that turbulence stabilizes coherent oscillations allows the derivation of a formula for bunch length which gives excellent fits to the data from SPEAR. As a special case of the formalism, an integral equation which describes the longitudinal self-perturbations of proton beams … more

Determination of permeability of granitic rocks in GT-2 from hydraulic fracturing data

Description: The Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory is currently conducting a study to determine the feasibility to extract geothermal energy from dry hot rock. The investigated concept calls for the creation of a hydraulic fracture in hot, impermeable rock. Heat will be exchanged subsequently at the fracture surface between the rock and a circulating fluid. The successful creation of hydraulic fractures in the granitic section of exploratory holes GT-1 and GT-2 yielded sufficient data to calculate the averag… more

Contact resistance and adhesion characteristics of oxidized tantalum nitride mirors

Description: Oxidation of tantalum nitride resistor films used in hybrid microcircuits is an unavoidable phenomenon known to affect interfacial properties between resistor and conductor layers. At room temperature, oxide thickness increases with time at an unknown rate; therefore, a three-day limitation between Ta/sub 2/N and Cr/Au conductor deposition is presently specified for hybrid microcircuits. The effects of Ta/sub 2/N aging on resistor-conductor contact resistance and conductor bondability were eval… more

Evaluation of BeO ceramic disks for thermally stimulated exoelectron dosimetry

Description: BeO ceramic disks were evaluated for application as dosimeters for both penetrating and non-penetrating radiation. Response to penetrating radiation was measured as thermoluminescence (TL) and to non-penetrating radiation as thermally stimulated exoelectron emission (TSEE). Field experiments demonstrated that both TSEE and TL responses from BeO can monitor diverse radiation fields. BeO disks in a passive dosimeter were found to be sensitive to a lower exposure level of 100 pCi-day/liter of rado… more

Numerical studies of nonlinear evolution of kink modes in tokamaks

Description: A set of numerical techniques for investigating the full nonlinear unstable behavior of low-..beta.. kink modes of given helical symmetry in tokamaks is presented. Uniform current density plasmas display complicated deformations including the formation of large vacuum bubbles provided that the safety factor q is sufficiently close to integral. Fairly large m = 1 deformations, but not bubble formation, persist for a plasma with a parabolic current density profile (and hence shear). Deformations … more
