Transient Model for Keyhole During Laser Welding

Description: A novel approach to simulating the dominant dynamic processes present during concentrated energy beam welding of metals is presented. A model for transient behavior of the front keyhole wall is developed. It is assumed that keyhole propagation is dominated by evaporation recoil-driven melt expulsion from the beam interaction zone. Results from the model show keyhole instabilities consistent with experimental observations of metal welding, metal cutting and ice welding.

Burn Depth Estimation Based on Infrared Imaging of Thermally Excited Tissue

Description: Accurate estimation of the depth of partial-thickness burns and the early prediction of a need for surgical intervention are difficult. A non-invasive technique utilizing the difference in thermal relaxation time between burned and normal skin may be useful in this regard. In practice, a thermal camera would record the skin's response to heating or cooling by a small amount-roughly 5 C for a short duration. The thermal stimulus would be provided by a heat lamp, hot or cold air, or other means. … more

Use of Self-Assembling Monolayers to Control Interface Bonding in a Model Study of Interfacial Fracture

Description: The relationships between the extent of interfacial bonding, energy dissipation mechanisms, and fracture toughness in a glassy adhesive/inorganic solid joint are not well understood. We address this subject with a model system involving an epoxy adhesive on a polished silicon wafer containing its native oxide. The extent of interfacial bonding, and the wetting behavior of the epoxy, is varied continuously using self-assembling monolayers (SAMs) of octadecyltrichlorosilane (ODTS). The epoxy inte… more

Methods for Predicting More Confident Lifetimes of Seals in Air Environments

Description: We have been working for many years to develop improved methods for predicting the lifetimes of polymers exposed to air environments and have recently turned our attention to seal materials. This paper describes an extensive study on a butyl material using elevated temperature compression stress-relaxation (CSR) techniques in combination with conventional oven aging exposures. The results initially indicated important synergistic effects when mechanical strain is combined with oven aging, as we… more

Planning and Implementation of an Alkali-Surfactant-Polymer (ASP) Field Project

Description: The Warden ASP project has progressed from the initial planning stage to construction of an injection plant. An ASP chemical system was designed based on laboratory evaluations that included interfacial tension, mobility requirements, rock-alkali interaction, fluid capabilities, and core tests. Field cores were obtained from the Permian No. 5 and No. 6 sands on the Warden lease in Sho-Vel-Tum oil field. A separate tank battery for the pilot pattern area was installed, and a field tracer test is… more

Spent Fuel Dissolution Rates as a Function of Burnup and Water Chemistry

Description: Several months ago, a report called PNNL-11895, ''Spent Fuel Dissolution Rates as a Function of Burnup and Water Chemistry'', by W. J. Gray dated June 1998 was mailed out. Unfortunately, an error was discovered in this document. The technetium (Tc) data in Figures 5 to 8, pages 21 to 24, are incorrect. Replacement figures, which show the corrected Tc data, are presented. No other data in the report was affected by this error.

Method for the Removal of Ultrafine Particulates from an Aqueous Suspension

Description: A method of separating ultra-fine particulate from an aqueous suspension such as a process stream or a waste stream. The method involves the addition of alkali silicate and an organic gelling agent to a volume of liquid, from the respective process or waste stream, to form a gel. The gel then undergoes syneresis to remove water and soluble salts from the gel-containing the particulate, thus, forming a silica monolith. The silica monolith is then sintered to form a hard, nonporous waste form.
