MHD diffuser model test program

Description: Experimental results of the aerodynamic performance of seven candidate diffusers are presented to assist in determining their suitability for joining an MHD channel to a steam generator at minimum spacing. The three dimensional diffusers varied in area ratio from 2 to 3.8 and wall half angle from 2 to 5 degrees. The program consisted of five phases: (1) tailoring a diffuser inlet nozzle to a 15 percent blockage; (2) comparison of isolated diffusers at enthalpy ratios 0.5 to 1.0 with respect to … more

Preliminary results from the photon detector for the Fermilab proportional hybrid spectrometer

Description: A lead glass electromagnetic shower detector with active area 30cm {times} 30cm and 28 radiation lengths has been constructed and tested in a {approximately}5--15% electron/{pi}{sup {minus}} beam at Fermilab. The unique feature of this detector is the use of lead glass rather than lead, customarily used as the photon converter. This eliminates the uncertainty of total energy deposition in the system, allowing a {approximately}3% (FWHM) energy resolution at 50 GeV. The position of the shower is … more

Evaluating aeroshell materials for the MJS/multi-hundred watt heat source. [Reentry survival from an aborted launch]

Description: In order to evaluate the possibility of improving upon an existing aeroshell design for the Multi-Hundred Watt power source, a trade-off study was conducted on a variety of candidate aeroshell materials. Mariner Jupiter/Saturn mission requirements and aeroshell material criteria were established to form a basis for the evaluation. Material data searches and reentry analyses were made to permit preparation of a quantitative comparison matrix. Depending upon the designer's constraints, either the… more

Timing tests: automatic valve closure for tritium leaks

Description: How fast can an automotive valve be closed after a tritium leak occurs in a system. Tests described found that a valve can be closed within fifteen seconds of leakage. In one practical example considered, this delay would limit loss of tritium from a plumbing leak in a tritium system to 1/sup 1///sub 4/ g. The tests were made in a typical LLL air-flush hood in which a tritium handling system had been installed. Incidental observations suggest that further study be made of a possible leak-actuat… more

Safety analysis report for packaging: DOT-7A fiberglass-coated plywood box for transuranium solid waste

Description: A DOT Specification 7A, fiberglass-coated plywood box for shipping alpha-emitting transuranic waste has been developed. Nominal size for the box is 4 by 4 by 7 ft; maximum gross weight is 5000 lb. Construction is of /sup 3///sub 4/-in. plywood with internal framing members of 2- by 4-in. lumber. The entire box, including the glued and nailed lid, is covered with a 0.12-in.-thick fiberglass coating. The required four-foot drop tests were passed without the box being damaged. Additional drops fro… more

Kinetic model of sodium-water reaction applied to dynamic simulation of leak detection in the core components test loop. [LMFBR]

Description: A detailed model for the CCTL steam-generator leak-detection simulation was developed to predict the hydrogen- and oxygen-detector response during a series of experiments to be performed at ANL. The detailed kinetic equations for the sodium-water interaction are given, as well as the assumptions made in assessing the various reactivity rates and hydrogen-gas migration in the sodium toward a free surface in contact with the cover gas. A dynamic model was developed describing concentration change… more

Control of hydrogen sulfide emission from geothermal power plants

Description: A process for controlling H/sub 2/S emissions at geothermal power plants was evaluated in laboratory scale equipment and by process engineering analysis. The process is based on scrubbing geothermal steam with a metal salt solution to selectively remove and precipitate the contained H/sub 2/S. The metal sulfide is roasted or oxygen/acid leached to regenerate the metal salt, and sulfur is rejected from the system as elemental sulfur or as sulfate. Up to 95 percent removal of H/sub 2/S from simul… more
