150 kWe solar-powered deep-well irrigation facility. Phase I. Preliminary design study. Final report

Description: Results of a preliminary design study for a solar-powered irrigation facility to be located on a farm between Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona, are presented. The ERDA-specified generic design criteria are detailed. A detailed systems analysis is presented, and preliminary designs of the thermal storage system, organic Rankine cycle power system, cooling water system, power distribution system, and collector foundation are given. Site layout and improvements are described, and a cost analysis of pro… more

Preliminary characterization of the pressure suppression experiment load response and source analysis: air test series. [BWR]

Description: Data from air tests conducted on the 1/5-Scale Model Mark I Pressure Suppression Facility at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory were analyzed for the purpose of determining the various sources of load signature characteristics. It was determined that hydrodynamic vertical loading function embodies effects from: (a) momentum flux associated with flow from the downcomers; (b) momentum rate associated with bulk pool motion; and (c) unbalanced internal pressure forces related to phenomena associated wit… more

Elevated-temperature benchmark tests of simply supported beams and circular plates subjected to time-varying loadings

Description: This report presents the measured elastic-plastic-creep responses of eight simply supported type 304 stainless steel beams and circular plates that were subjected to time-varying loadings at elevated temperature. The tests were performed to provide experimental benchmark problem data suitable for assessing inelastic analysis methods and for validating computer programs. Beams and plates exhibit the essential features of inelastic structural behavior; yet they are relatively simple and the exper… more

Blockages in LMFBR fuel assemblies: a review of experimental and theoretical studies

Description: This is a state-of-the-art report on the thermal-hydraulic effects of flow-channel blockages in liquid-metal fast breeder reactor (LMFBR) pin bundles. Most of the experimental and theoretical studies for simulating blockages in various prototype LMFBR fuel assemblies done in the United States and abroad through 1976 are presented and summarized. A brief summary on blockage detection is included.
