Residual radioactivity measurements along the PB target pile

Description: In this brief note, measurements of residual radioactivity made along the PB target pile will be described. This was done as a test of the methods described by P. Gollon (Go76) for predicting such radioactivity based upon surface star density calculations using CASIM. These methods have been extensively used at Fermilab, especially in the design of the Tevatron II target piles. 4 refs., 2 figs.

The use of toroidal boundary conditions in the program POISSON

Description: In circular particle accelerators of moderate size, one cannot entirely neglect the curvature of the structure and of the guide field. In practice, one may wish to restrict the region of analysis to that near the working aperture, while excluding a very substantial area closer to (and including) the axis of rotational symmetry. In this way, a more efficient mesh can be generated for a program such as POISSON. In restricting the solution to the region of interest, there must be concern regarding… more

Numerical simulations of multiphoton processes in many electron atoms

Description: In this report, we will present some details of two numerical methods which we have been pursuing for treating the multi-electron case. Both involve a numerical representation of the time dependent Hartree Fock electronic orbitals and a direct time integration of the coupled equations. Using these methods we will be able to determine the dynamics of the energy absorption process (preionization dynamics and the mechanism of ionization, i.e. whether it is direct multi-electron emission or sequent… more

An NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) investigation of the chemical association and molecular dynamics in asphalt ridge tar sand ore and bitumen

Description: Preliminary studies on tar sand bitumen given in this report have shown that the reassociation of tar sand bitumen to its original molecular configuration after thermal stressing is a first-order process requiring nearly a week to establish equilibrium. Studies were also conducted on the dissolution of tar sand bitumen in solvents of varying polarity. At a high-weight fraction of solute to solvent the apparent molecular weight of the bitumen molecules was greater than that of the original bitum… more

Quenching of spontaneous emission coefficients in plasmas

Description: We have observed changing Einstein coefficients of spontaneous emission as a function of electron density in CO/sub 2/ laser-produced plasmas. These measurements are based on the intensity branching ratio of CIV lines 5801 to 5812 A and 312.41 to 312.46 A which share a common upper level. Similar observations for CIII lines are also discussed. 12 refs., 3 figs.

A nonvariational code for calculating three-dimensional MHD (magnetohydrodynamic) equilibria

Description: Details are presented of the PIES code, which uses a nonvariational algorithm for calculating fully three-dimensional MHD equilibria. The MHD equilibrium equations are directly iterated in special coordinates to find self-consistent currents and magnetic fields for given pressure and current profiles and for a given outermost magnetic surface. Three important advantages of this approach over previous methods are the ease with which net current profiles can be imposed, the explicit treatment of … more

FY 1987 Aquatic Species Program: Annual report

Description: The goal of the Department of Energy/Solar Energy Research Institute Aquatic Species Program is to develop the technology base to produce liquid fuels from microalagae at prices competitive with conventional alternatives. Microalgae are unusual plants that can accumulate large quantities of oil and can thrive in high-salinity water, which currently has no competing uses. The algal oils, in turn, are readily converted into gasoline and diesel fuels. The best site for successful microalgae produc… more

Zero temperature quark matter equation of state

Description: An equation of state is computed for a plasma of one flavor quarks interacting through some phenomenological potential, in the Hartree approximation, at zero temperature. Assuming that the confining potential is scalar and color-independent, it is shown that the quarks undergo a first-order mass phase transition. In addition, due to the way screening is introduced, all the thermodynamic quantities computed are independent of the actual shape of the interquark potential. This equation of state i… more

The Direct Application of Geothermal Energy to Provide Process Heat in Guatemala

Description: One part of an energy and resource development program in Central America is a geothermal process heat project in Guatemala. The feasibility of the direct heat application depends upon the production characteristics and reliability of the geothermal source. Other factors are the distance from the heat source, quantity of use, and capacity factor of the use facilities. Favorable conditions would be distances of under 5 km, heat requirements approximately equal to the well capacity, and high capa… more

Irradiation creep and swelling of AISI 316 to exposures of 130 dpa at 385 to 400/sup 0/C

Description: The creep and swelling of AISI 316 stainless steel have been studied at 385 to 400/sup 0/C in EBR-II to doses of 130 dpa. Most creep capsules were operated at constant stress and temperature but mid-life changes in these variable were also made. This paper concentrates on the behavior of the 20% cold-worked condition but five other conditions were also studied. Swelling at less than or equal to00/sup 0/C was found to lose the sensitivity to stress exhibited at higher temperatures while the cree… more
