Reservoir and injection technology and Heat Extraction Project

Description: For the Stanford Geothermal Program in the fiscal year 1989, the task areas include predictive modeling of reservoir behavior and tracer test interpretation and testing. Major emphasis is in reservoir technology, reinjection technology, and heat extraction. Predictive modeling of reservoir behavior consists of a multi-pronged approach to well test analysis under a variety of conditions. The efforts have been directed to designing and analyzing well tests in (1) naturally fractured reservoirs; (… more

Toxicology Studies of Lewisite and Sulfur Mustard Agents: Genetic Toxicity of Lewisite (L) In Chinese Hamster Ovary Cells

Description: The cytotoxic clastogenic and mutagenic effects of the arsenic containing vesicant, Lewisite (L) [dichloro(2-chlorovinyl) arsine], have been investigated using Chinese hamster ovary cells. One hour exposures to Lewisite were cytotoxic in uM amounts. The cell survival response yields a D37 of 0.6 uM and an extrapolation number of 2.5. The mutagenic response at the hypoxantnine-guanine phosporibosyl transferase (HGPRT) locus was sporadic and not significantly greater than control values when cell… more

Audit of the use of annual appropriations to fund contracts

Description: The purpose of this audit was to determine whether annual appropriations (annual funds) were being properly administered by the Department of Energy (Department). Specifically, we wanted to determine whether annual funds were being used to fund contracts beyond the year for which the funds were available. The Department receives more than $13 billion each year to finance its activities. The majority of this money is received through ''no-year'' appropriations, which can be retained by the Depar… more

DART: A simulation code for charged particle beams: Revision 1

Description: This paper presents a recently modified version of the 2-D code, DART, which can simulate the behavior of a beam of charged particles whose trajectories are determined by electric and magnetic fields. This code was originally used to design laboratory-scale and full-scale beam direct converters. Since then, its utility has been expanded to allow more general applications. The simulation includes space charge, secondary electrons, and the ionization of neutral gas. A beam can contain up to nine … more

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

[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
