Solar Tests of Aperture Plate Materials for Solar Thermal Dish Collectors [PDF]
If a malfunction occurs in a solar thermal point-focus distributed receiver power plant while a concentrator is pointed at the Sun, motion of the concentrator may stop. As the Sun moves relative to the Earth, the spot of concentrated sunlight then slowly

Intermediate range order in (Fe,Al) silicate network glasses: a neutron diffraction and EPSR modeling investigation [PDF]
The local structural environment and the spatial distribution of iron and aluminum ions in sodosilicate glasses with composition NaFexAl1-xSi2O6 (x = 1, 0.8, 0.5 and 0) is studied by high-resolution neutron diffraction combined with structural modeling using the Empirical Potential Structure Refinement (EPSR) code.

Gels as battery separators for soluble electrode cells [PDF]
Gels are formed from silica powders and hydrochloric acid. The gels are then impregnated into a polymeric foam and the resultant sheet material is then used in applications where the transport of chloride ions is desired.

Supercritical Fluid Geochemistry in Geothermal Systems
Supercritical fluids exist in the roots of many active high-temperature geothermal systems. Utilization of such supercritical resources may multiply energy production from geothermal systems; yet, their occurrence, formation mechanism, and chemical ...

Formulation of electrically conductive thermal-control coatings [PDF]
The development and formulation of electrically conductive thermal control coating was undertaken for use on the International Sun Earth Explorer spacecraft. The primary effort was to develop a coating with a bulk resistivity of less than 100,000 ohm/sqm,

Computational modelling and experimental validation of industrial forming processes by cold pressing of aluminum silicate powder [PDF]
A novel approach to the modelling and simulation of the industrial compaction process of ceramic powders is proposed, based on a combination of: (i) continuum mechanics modelling of the constitutive response of the material; (ii) finite element discretization and computer implementation of the mechanical model; (iii) parametric identification by a ...
