Hydrogen pumping system discharge pressures of 6,000 to13,000 psi are required to meet Phase II and III IHPRPT initiative goals for both upper stage and booster engines. There is a conflict between developing high hydrogen system discharge pressure and managing low hydrogen system inlet pressure and cavitation. A second conflict is the relationship between rotational speed, specific speed, and he ...

The design of turbomachinery components is a complex process requiring many steps and hundreds of minute decisions in an iterative process. The design proceeds from engine cycle performance and meanline design through 3D viscous flow calculations (CFD) and finite element structural analysis (FEA). Design studies may traverse this process many times, with routine tasks performed by engineers in a ...

50815-98-I High Spatial Resolution Optical Sensors for DNAPLs--Dakota Technologies, Inc., 2301 12th Street, North, Suite E, Fargo, ND 58102-1805; (701) 237-4908 Mr. Randy W. St. Germain, Principal Investigator Dr. Gregory D. Gillispie, Business Official DOE Grant No. DE-FG03-98ER82564 Amount: $75,000 Chlorinated organic solvents in the form of dense non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs) continuou ...

During Phase I Dakota Technologies, Inc. (DTI) will demonstrate a fuel leak detection system that is vastly superior to the costly, manpower-intensive techniques currently used in repair, overhaul, and production facilities. The technique uses resonance enhabced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) spectroscopy to test the airspace outside the tank for the presence of certain hydrocarbon constituents o ...

50622-98-I A Decision Support System for Willow (Salix) to Improve Site Selection, Site Management, and Lower Production Cost--Highland Geographic, Inc., 1 Mill Street, D4, Burlington, VT 05401; (802) 652-9722 Mr. Darryl G. Murdock, Principal Investigator Mr. Darryl G. Murdock, Business Official DOE Grant No. DE-FG02-98ER82591 Amount: $74,960 Improved methods for optimization of site selection ...

79671S Attempts to produce Carbon Nano Tube(CNT) in large quantities have been fraught with overwhelming challenges due to poor yield, costly fabrication, and the need for the purifying processes required to make them useful in applications. This project will develop an alternative nanoscale carbon material with comparable properties that can be produced cost-effectively and in larger quantities ...

The ability to store and analyze a continuous sequence of high resolution images of a ballistic event has tremendous benefits in determining the ballistic limits for laminated carbon fiber materials. When the ability to store these images in a 3-D format is introduced, the volume of data that can be extracted from each image is far more than any single photograph. Unlike photography or direct di ...

32 Rapid Tools for Joint Inversion and Imaging--Subterranean Research, Inc., P.O. Box 1121, Burlington, VT 05402-1121; (802) 658-8878 Dr. Donna M. Rizzo, Principal Investigator Dr. David E. Dougherty, Business Official DOE Grant No. DE-FG02-97ER82485 Amount: $73,157 Numerous types of data are collected when potential remediation sites are investigated for site-specific environmental problems ...

Turbo Solutions Engineering LLC is providing this proposal for a Phase I Small Business Innovation Research Program. The technical objectives are to demonstrate the feasibility of the integration of real-time performance monitoring and diagnostics within a turbopump system, to provide operational status data, and to predict the remaining life of critical components. This Integrated Vehicle Healt ...

79399S The world is becoming increasingly concerned about global warming and the emission of greenhouse gases such as CO2. Therefore, the capture and permanent sequestration of CO2 has become a major goal related to future energy development and use. This project will develop technology for assessing potential sequestration sites and for monitoring their ultimate storage integrity. The approac ...
