Feasibility Studies of in-Situ Coal Gasification in the Warrior Coal Field. Quarterly Report

Description: Laboratory studies on a research combustor were used in an attempt to determine the length of oxidation and reduction zones. Unfortunately the buoyant effects of the heated gases caused the burn to proceed along the upper portion of the horizontal combustor. This made the interpretation of uncertain value. Methods of measuring the thermal conductivity and chemical reactivity of coke are discussed. A bibliography of the physical and chemical properties of coke is appended. (LTN)

Selection of transition leak size for LLTR series II test A-4. [LMFBR]

Description: The objective of this report is to provide the basis for the selection of this transition leak size for testing in the LLTR. This test, designated as Test A-4, is of particular interest because, of all the larger nonflame-jet-type-leaks, it has the longest dwell time in the vessel before the rupture disc blows, thus terminating the IHTS pressure rise. Its potential for generating secondary leaks is considered high. It is easy to postulate the generation of such a leak starting with small leak w… more

Environment and fracture. Progress report

Description: Results are presented of an investigation of hydrogen trapping in iron and iron base alloys. Both physical and chemical trapping were studied. Chemical trapping of H is found in H attack of plain carbon and alloy steels. Diffusion H reacts with carbon to form methane which leads to deterioration of microstructure, and degradation of mechanical properties. Physical trapping of H is evident at lower temperatures. (FS)

Characterization techniques for high quality ICF targets

Description: To avoid the effects of fluid instabilities, stringent requirements must be imposed on the surface quality and wall thickness uniformity of fuel pellets used in Inertial Confinement Fusion compression experiments. A systematic method was developed for specifying the type of defects which must be avoided and for evaluating measurement techniques for their suitability for detecting these defects. A review is given of the techniques currently available and those under development to show the relat… more
