Prasad, Principal Investigator Dr. Mahadevan Krishnan, Business Official DOE Grant No. DE-FG03-97ER82320 Amount: $74,989 Alameda Applied Sciences Corporation will develop a fast-opening breaking switch to improve the heati ...

40268 November 6, 1996 Alameda Applied Sciences Corporation Induction linear accelerators that produce energetic heavy ion beams are a prime candidate for power-producing fusion reactors. This project will develop and demonstrate a high vacuum arc ion source that can reliably deliver high current, low emittance beams of heavy (A=100-238) ions with charg ...

THE PRODIGIOUS FLOW OF DATA IN ELECTROMAGNETIC CALORIMETERS PROPOSED FOR EXPERIMENTS AT THE SUPERCONDUCTING SUPER COLLIDER (SSC) WILL REQUIRE THE USE OF NEW FAST RADIATION RESISTANT DETECTOR CRYSTALS SUCH AS BAF(2). HOWEVER, THE PRECISION OF THESE CALORIMETERS, AND HENCE THEIR USE FOR PHYSICAL MEASUREMENT, WILL DEPEND ON IN-SITU CALIBRATION. RECENT WORK BY U.S. COLLABORATORS DESIGNING THE LARGE BI ...

INERTIAL CONFINEMENT FUSION USING HEAVY ION DRIVERS IS A PROMISING TECHNIQUE TO OBTAIN COMMERCIAL FUSION ENERGY, PRIMARILY BECAUSE OF ITS HIGH EFFICIENCY, HIGH REPETITION RATES, AND THE GOOD RELIABILITY OF PARTICLE ACCELERATORS. THE VERY INTENSE, SHORT DURATION HEAVY ION BEAM PULSES FROM THE DRIVER MUST BE FOCUSED TO A VERY SMALL SPOT TO IGNITE A FUSION PELLET IN A REACTOR. CONSEQUENTLY, IT IS VER ...

NITROGEN OXIDE POLLUTION (NO(X)) EMITTED FROM COMBUSTORS FIRING FOSSIL FUELS (GAS, OIL, OR COAL) IS A MAJOR CONTRIBUTOR TO THE ACID RAIN PROBLEM. THE MOST EFFECTIVE TECHNOLOGIES FOR REDUCING NO(X) INVOLVE THE INJECTION OF AMMONIA (NH(3)) INTO THE FLUE GAS TO REACT WITH NO(X), RESULTING IN THE FORMATION OF INERT MOLECULAR NITROGEN (N(2)) AND WATER. THESE PROCESSES INCLUDE THE USE OF BOTH CATALYSTS ...

FLUE GAS HUMIDIFICATION DOWNSTREAM OF THE AIR PREHEATER PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN ALL CALCIUM-BASED DRY SORBENT PROCESSES. FOR IN-DUCT SORBENT INJECTION PROCESSES, HUMIDIFICATION IS REQUIRED TO ACHIEVE THE DESIRED REACTION RATES BETWEEN THE SORBENT PARTICLES AND THE FLUE GAS SO2; FOR FURNACE SORBENT INJECTION, SUPPLEMENTAL SO2 CAPTURE IS POSSIBLE. HUMIDIFICATION ALSO IS THE MOST ECONOMICAL MEANS ...

40174 November 8, 1996 ADA Technologies, Inc. The Department of Energy (DOE) owns and operates a number of facilities that are contaminated with chlorine containing hazardous materials. The cleanup of these sites is a DOE and national priority, and a variety of technologies are being used to reduce the volumes of the wastes. However, as a result of th ...
