Preparation of ultralow-friction surface films on vanadium diboride.

Description: In this paper, we present a simple annealing procedure (which we refer to as ''flash-annealing'' because of short duration) that results in the formation of an ultralow friction surface film on vanadium diboride (VB{sub 2}) surfaces. This annealing is done in a box furnace at 800 C for a period of 5 min. During annealing, the exposed surface of the VB{sub 2} undergoes oxidation and forms a layer of boron oxide (B{sub 2}O{sub 3}). In open air, the B{sub 2}O{sub 3} layer reacts spontaneously with… more

Scale-Up of Advanced Hot-Gas Desulfurization Sorbents

Description: The overall objective of this project is to develop regenerable sorbents for hot gas desulfurization in IGCC systems. The specific objective of the project is to develop durable advanced sorbents that demonstrate a strong resistance to attrition and chemical deactivation, and high activity at temperatures as low as 343 C (650 F). A number of formulations will be prepared and screened in a 1/2-inch fixed bed reactor at high pressure (1 to 20 atm) and high temperatures using simulated coal-derive… more

Solution of Dynamic Contact Problems by Implicit/Explicit Methods. Final Report

Description: The solution of dynamic contact problems within an explicit finite element program such as the LLNL DYNA programs is addressed in the report. The approach is to represent the solution for the deformation of bodies using the explicit algorithm but to solve the contact part of the problem using an implicit approach. Thus, the contact conditions at the next solution state are considered when computing the acceleration state for each explicit time step.

Energy efficient louver and blind. Final technical progress report, third quarter 1996

Description: In the month of July, we completed the energy testing at Lawrence Berkeley Labs. The final testing was done with blinds in 15 degree position. This is a comfortable blind angle that allows for view of the outside while allowing for natural light to enter the room. It was found that the energy savings are much higher at this angle. At zero degree blind angle the savings were 150W/sq. meter, in the 15 degree the heat gain is cut by 225W/sq. meter. During the same period the heat gain in control c… more

Metal Poisons in Waste Tanks (U)

Description: Many of the storage tanks with waste from processing fissile materials contain, along with the fissile material, metals which may serve as nuclear criticality poisons. It would be advantageous to the criticality evaluation of these wastes if it can be demonstrated that the poisons remain with the fissile materials and if an always safe poison-to-fissile ratio can be established. The first task, demonstrating that the materials stay together, is the job of the chemist, the second, demonstrating … more

Temperature limits based on the saturation temperature in Hanford waste storage tanks

Description: This report calculates limits on the measured temperature readings to limit the occurrence of saturation temperatures in Hanford waste storage tanks. The results in this report show that the temperature reported by a thermocouple tree in a double-shell tank can be significantly below the maximum waste temperature and that provisions should be made for that offset in any tank temperature monitoring program. The results for single-shell tanks show that some tanks may be at or above the saturation… more

West Hackberry Tertiary Project. Quarterly technical progress report, July 1--September 30, 1996

Description: The goal of the West Hackberry Tertiary Project is to demonstrate the technical and economic feasibility of combining air injection with the Double Displacement Process for tertiary oil recovery. The Double Displacement Process is the gas displacement of a water invaded oil column for the purpose of recovering oil through gravity drainage. The novel aspect of this project is the use of air as the injection fluid. The target reservoirs for the project are the Camerina sands located on the west a… more
