An Industrial Gauge for Measuring The Phase Distribution of Galvanneal

Description: Augmentation of the internal software of a commercial x-ray fluorescence gauge is shown to enable the instrument to extend its continuous on-line real-time measurements of a galvanneal coating's total elemental content to encompass similar measurements of the relative thickness of the coating's three principal metallurgical phases. The mathematical structure of this software augmentation is derived from the theory of neural networks. The empirical basis for the numerics embedded in the software… more

Heat transfer studies, quarterly report

Description: Drying in subresidually-saturated systems at elevated temperatures has been studied for two different operating conditions. One condition started with flowing nitrogen gas through the test section and simultaneously heating up the porous medium at the same time (denoted in what follows as the ``transient heating case``). The other condition started initially with heating up the porous medium with no flow, and then running the nitrogen gas flow through the test section after a steady-state tempe… more

Atomistic simulation of point defects and dislocations in bbc transition metals from first principles

Description: Using multi-ion interatomic potentials derived from first-principles generalized pseudopotential theory, we have been studying point defects and dislocations in bcc transition metals, with molybdenum (Mo) as a prototype. For point defects in Mo, the calculated vacancy formation and activation energies are in excellent agreement with experimental results. The energetics of six self-interstitial configurations in Mo have also been investigated. The <110> split dumb-bell is found to have the lowes… more

Conversion of high carbon refinery by-products. Quarterly report, October 1--December 31, 1995

Description: The overall objective of the project is to demonstrate that a partial oxidation system, which utilizes a transport reactor, is a viable means of converting refinery wastes, byproducts, and other low value materials into valuable products. The primary product would be a high quality fuel gas, which could also be used as a source of hydrogen. The concept involves subjecting the hydrocarbon feed to pyrolysis and steam gasification in a circulating bed of solids. Carbon residue formed during pyroly… more

Rheology of Savannah River site tank 42 and tank 51 HLW radioactive sludges

Description: Knowledge of the rheology of the radioactive sludge slurries at the Savannah River Site (SRS) is necessary in order to ensure that they can be retrieved from waste tanks and processed for final disposal. The high activity radioactive wastes stored as caustic slurries at SRS result from the neutralization of acid waste generated from production of nuclear defense materials. During storage, the wastes separate into a supernate layer and a sludge layer. In the Defense Waste Processing Facility (DW… more

A probabilistic security risk assessment methodology for quantification of risk to the public

Description: We describe a methodology for obtaining probabilistic risk estimates of deliberate unauthorized acts, integrating estimates of frequencies of serious plots, probabilities of avoiding detection and interdiction, probabilities of successful action, and consequences of the act. This methodology allows us to compare the risks of deliberate acts with those of accidents and to identify the most cost- effective risk reduction measures through cost-benefit analysis.

Reactivation of an idle lease to increase heavy oil recovery through application of conventional steam drive technology in a low dip slope and basin reservoir in the Midway-Sunset field, San Joaquin Basin, California. [Quarterly report], June 14, 1995--September 30, 1995

Description: This project will reactivate ARCO`s idle Pru Fee lease in the Midway-Sunset field, California and conduct a continuous steamflood enhanced oil recovery demonstration aided by an integration of modern reservoir characterization and simulation methods. Cyclic steaming will be used to re-establish baseline production within the reservoir characterization phase of the project. During the demonstration phase, a continuous steamflood enhanced oil recover will be initiated to test the incremental valu… more

Signals from flavor changing scalar interactions in extended models

Description: If on the one hand many predictions of the Standard Model seem to be in remarkable agreement with experiments, on the other hand the full consistency of the model needs still to be proved. In particular, given our present ignorance of the Higgs sector of the theory, extensions of the Standard Model scalar sector are worth considering. The simplest extension of adding one extra SU(2) doublet of scalar fields, i.e. the Two Higgs Doublet Model, generally introduces Flavor Changing Scalar Neutral C… more

Scenarios for the Evaluation of the Criticality Potential of High Actinide Glasses

Description: Vitrification is one of the leading options for immobilization of actinide-containing materials no longer needed for national defense. For these glasses to be suitable for disposal, it must be established that a significant potential for a nuclear criticality involving these glasses does not exist. The vitrification working group within the nuclear materials disposition program has been given the responsibility for developing scenarios to be evaluated. In this report, potential bounding scenari… more

Precombustion removal of hazardous air pollutant precursors. Technical progress report, October 1, 1995--December 31, 1995

Description: This project involves the development of an optimized, bench-scale processing circuit capable of efficiently removing trace elements from, run-of-mine coals. The optimized circuit will be developed using characterization data obtained from detailed washability studies and release analyses tests conducted with several eastern U.S. coals. The optimized circuit will incorporate a variety of conventional and advanced coal cleaning processes which are believed to be the most cost-effective and comme… more

Laser-Generated Shock Waves and Applications to Advanced Materials

Description: The use of lasers for the generation and application of high-pressure shock waves offers unique advantages and challenges. In contrast to impact systems, the range of pressures and strain rates is substantially greater using laser drive. The ability to change the temporal shape of the drive pulse allows a variety of strain-rate conditions to be obtained. In addition, high time-resolution in situ diagnostic methods are relatively simple to implement. Lasers can be at a disadvantage compared to i… more

Signals from flavor changing scalar neutral currents at {mu}{sup +}{mu}{sup {minus}} colliders

Description: We illustrate the possibility of observing signals from Flavor Changing Neutral Currents, originating from the scalar sector of a Two Higgs Doublet Model. In particular, we focus on the tree level process {mu}{sup +}{mu}{sup {minus}} {yields} {bar t}c + {bar c}t, via scalar exchange in the s-channel, as a distinctive process for {mu}{sup +}{mu}{sup {minus}} colliders. 12 refs., 1 fig.
