Advanced turbine design for coal-fueled engines. Quarterly technical report, [July 1, 1989--September 30, 1989]

Description: Coal-fueled gas turbines require the development of a number of new technologies which are being identified by METC and its Heat Engines Contractors. Three significant problems, that were Identified early in the development of coal-fueled engines, are the rapid wear of the turbine airfoils due to particulate erosion, the accumulation of deposits on portions of the airfoil surfaces due to slag deposition and the rapid corrosion of airfoils after the breakdown of surface coatings. The technology … more

An introduction to geographic information systems as applied to a groundwater remediation program

Description: While the attention to environmental issues has grown over the past several years, so has the focus on groundwater protection. Addressing the task of groundwater remediation often involves a large-scale program with numerous wells and enormous amounts of data. This data must be manipulated and analyzed in an efficient manner for the remediation program to be truly effective. Geographic Information System`s (GIS) have proven to be an extremely effective tool in handling and interpreting this typ… more

A hierarchical structure approach to MultiSensor Information Fusion

Description: A major problem with image-based MultiSensor Information Fusion (MSIF) is establishing the level of processing at which information should be fused. Current methodologies, whether based on fusion at the pixel, segment/feature, or symbolic levels, are each inadequate for robust MSIF. Pixel-level fusion has problems with coregistration of the images or data. Attempts to fuse information using the features of segmented images or data relies an a presumed similarity between the segmentation charact… more

[Particle dispersion by ordered motion in mixing layers]. [Annual report]

Description: Multiphase mixing in turbulent flows is a key element in many practical energy conversion, chemical mixing and pollutant dispersal problems. Numerous important technological and environmental processes could be better addressed with improvements in understanding in this area. Progress in developing understanding of this field, however, has traditionally been difficult because of the complexities involved with the turbulent flows employed to provide the mixing mechanisms. To address this problem… more

Nonlinear phenomena at geological reaction fronts with energy applications. Final report

Description: Interaction of aqueous fluids with the rock matrix within which they reside can yield a variety of phenomena due to the coupling of reaction transport and mechanical processes; many of these have potentially important implications for exploration and exploitation of energy and mineral resources. We investigated effects of nucleation to produce banded precipitation; Darcy-mineral dissolution coupling to produce scalloped, fingered and more complex alteration front morphologies, and diagenetic al… more

Effects of catalytic mineral matter CO/CO{sub 2} ratio on temperature and burning time for char combustion. Quarterly progress report No. 1, October--December 1989

Description: The temperature of a char particle burning in an oxygen containing atmosphere is the product of a strongly coupled balance between particle size and physical properties, heat transfer from the particle, surface reactivity, CO/CO{sub 2} ratio and gas phase diffusion in the surrounding boundary layer and within the particle. The heat released by formation Of CO{sub 2} is a factor of 3.5 higher than for CO so the temperature of a particle will depend strongly on the CO/CO{sub 2} ratio produced. If… more

Analysis of general circulation model results and comparison with regional climatic data, Task 3. [Progress report]

Description: On time scales of greater than one year the variability of weather and climate on a large path of the Earth is dominated by the Southern Oscillation. While current theories of this phenomenon have clarified the role of the interaction between the ocean and the atmosphere in maintaining this oscillation it has so far been unclear whether the Southern Oscillation originates in the ocean, in the atmosphere or during the interaction between the ocean and the atmosphere. In this study we compared si… more
