Review of Physical Sciences Research, 1979-1990 (Gas Research Institute)

Technical Report · Mon Jul 01 00:00:00 EDT 1991

OSTI ID:6029553

To meet the expectations and needs of the gas industry and its customers, the Gas Research Institute (GRI) has developed basic research management techniques that are appropriate for GRI's unique mission-oriented research program. These techniques differ from those used in private industry and government. The Introduction to the report describes these techniques, focussing on how GRI selects appropriate research topics, builds consensus for the Physical Sciences research program, and maintains an emphasis on providing useful results. The body of the report consists of two-page reviews of each of GRI's 37 active research topics. These reviews describe their goals, results, and future plans for these topics. The reviews are presented in three groups: Physics, Chemistry, and Combustion, and each group begins with a summary of recent important results. Useful results of Physical Sciences Research are described throughout the report, but the report is not a comprehensive record of results. A yearly record of results is provided by another report: Physical Sciences Research Results.
