Investigation of induced unimolecular decomposition for development of visible chemical lasers. Final report, 1 May 1976--30 April 1977

Description: This report summarizes the results of a study of azide decomposition for possible application in a visible chemical laser. Task 1 of the subject contract involved thorough review of the chemical literature pertaining to azide decomposition. Covalently bonded azides decompose directly into an electronically excited nitrene (RN) and ground-state molecular nitrogen. Ionic azides decompose to metal atoms and azide radicals. The azide radicals subsequently recombine to form electronically excited ni… more

Solar Pilot Plant, Phase I. Preliminary design report. Volume II, Book 2. Central receiver optical model users manual. CDRL item 2. [HELIAKI code]

Description: HELIAKI is a FORTRAN computer program which simulates the optical/thermal performance of a central receiver solar thermal power plant for the dynamic conversion of solar-generated heat to electricity. The solar power plant which this program simulates consists of a field of individual sun tracking mirror units, or heliostats, redirecting sunlight into a cavity, called the receiver, mounted atop a tower. The program calculates the power retained by that cavity receiver at any point in time or th… more

Low-cost site-assembled solar collector designs for use with heat pumps

Description: Four low cost solar collector designs have been produced for use in solar assisted heat pump systems. Three principles guided the design: the use of air as the heat transfer medium, the use of on-site easy-to-install construction rather than modularized prefabricated construction, and the collection of solar energy at reduced temperatures.

The retention of methyl red was increased by a factor of 2.2 by pressures of 241 MPa (30,000 psi) and by a factor of 2.5 by 345 MPa (50,000 psi). When the methanol concentration was increased to 75%, re… more

Preliminary design and analysis of recovery of lithium from brine with the use of a selective extractant

Description: Lithium requirements for battery and controlled thermonuclear fusion reactor uses in the next few decades may exceed the current availability of the mineral and brine reserves. It is thus prudent to search for new reserves and resources to satisfy these and other lithium applications in the future. It has been reported that the lithium content of Smackover oilfield waters ranges in order of 100--500 mg/l, and thus could represent a substantial reserve. A method is proposed to extract lithium fr… more

Preparation and characterization of glass beads for use in thermionic gas chromatographic detectors

Description: Glass beads containing rubidium or cesium can be prepared from either laboratory glass or synthetic glass mixtures. The sensitivity in the nitrogen-phosphorus mode was highest when the Na/sub 2/O/B/sub 2/O/sub 3/ ratio was larger than unity or when there was a high rubidium or cesium concentration. Beads containing no sodium showed the lowest noise and greatest stability. Linearities ranged from 3 to 11 x 10/sup 3/. Detectabilities of 40 to 70 x 10/sup -13/ g/sec and 1.5 to 8 x 10/sup -13/ g/se… more

Resonance region neutronics of unit cells in fast and thermal reactors

Description: A method has been developed for generating resonance-self-shielded cross sections based upon an improved equivalence theorem, which appears to allow extension of the self-shielding-factor (Bondarenko f-factor) method, now mainly applied to fast reactors, to thermal reactors as well. The method is based on the use of simple prescriptions for the ratio of coolant-to-fuel region-averaged fluxes, in the equations defining cell averaged cross sections. Linearization of the dependence of these functi… more
