Development and demonstration of an electric heat pump for waste-heat recovery in industry. The selection of working-fluid candidates for use in high-temperature industrial heat pumps. Topical report, September 1977-December 1978

Technical Report Snyder, P H ; Moreland, W C

The development of a high-temperature industrial heat pump depends upon the identification of an acceptable working fluid. An extensive search was made to select potential candidates meeting certain appropriate physical and hazard requirements. These candidates were then evaluated in detail with respect to their thermodynamic and economic performance as well as their relative health and safety aspects. Four fluids - methanol, thiophene, hexane, and Fluorinol 85 - are recommended as acceptable candidates for high-temperature heat-pump duty over the temperature range of approximately 180 to 330/sup 0/F (80 to 165/sup 0/C). Assuming the thermal stability and chemical compatibility of methanol aremore »« less
Effect of Ion Irradiation on Amorphous and Crystalline Ge–Se and Their Application as Phase Change Temperature Sensor

Journal Article Ahmed Simon, Al-Amin ; Jones, Lyle ; Sakaguchi, Yoshifumi ; ... - Physica Status Solidi B. Basic Solid State Physics

Research on phase change materials is predominantly focused on their application as memory devices or for temperature control which requires low phase change temperature. The Ge–Se binary chalcogenide glass system with its wide glass‐forming region is a potential candidate for high‐temperature and high‐radiation phase change applications. Herein, the concept of employing Ge _x Se _{100− x} glasses to monitor high temperature (450–528 °C) using the phase change effect, is reported. Materials selection, device structure, and performance of prototype sensors are analyzed. In addition, the effect of heavy ion irradiation by Xe ions with energies of 200, 600,more »« less

Variable Electricity from Base-load Nuclear Power Plants Using Stored Heat

Conference Forsberg, Charles ; Schneider, Erich

Restrictions on greenhouse gas emissions and growth of renewables change the price structure of electricity markets with more hours per year of low electricity prices and high electricity prices. This creates large economic incentives to (1) store energy at times of low electricity prices to produce electricity when prices are high and (2) couple base-load nuclear plants to heat storage to avoid selling electricity at times of low prices and increase electricity sales at times of high prices. Nuclear energy coupled with thermal energy storage has potentially superior economics to alternative energy storage technologies for peak electricity production because (1)more »« less

Impact of Firebrick Resistance-Heated Energy Storage (FIRES) on Electricity Prices in a Nuclear Renewable Grid

Conference Stack, Daniel C. ; Forsberg, Charles

Electricity markets are changing with the addition of wind and solar. Large-scale wind or solar will drive down the price of electricity at times of high wind or solar output to near zero. This revenue effect provides the economic limit for deployment of wind or solar but is also bad on the economics of base-load nuclear power plants. The historical proposed solution to revenue collapse has been electricity storage—from pumped hydro to batteries. However, such devices are expensive. The alternative is conversion of low-price electricity into high-temperature heat stored in very cheap firebrick. The energy is transferred from the electricmore »« less

Development of value-added products from alumina industry mineral wastes using low-temperature-setting phosphate ceramics

Conference Wagh, A S ; Jeong, Seung-Young ; Singh, D

A room-temperature process for stabilizing mineral waste streams has been developed, based on acid-base reaction between MgO and H3PO4 or acid phosphate solution. The resulting waste form sets into a hard ceramic in a few hours. In this way, various alumina industry wastes, such as red mud and treated potliner waste, can be solidified into ceramics which can be used as structural materials in waste management and construction industry. Red mud ceramics made by this process were low-porosity materials ({approx}2 vol%) with a compression strength equal to portland cement concrete (4944 psi). Bonding mechanism appears to be result of reactionsmore »« less
