Tungsten-rhenium alloy thermocouples effective for high-temperature measurement
Tungsten-rhenium alloy thermocouples, specifically, insulated, sheathed W/W plus 26Re and W plus 5 Re/W plus 26 Re thermocouples, are effective for temperature measurement in excess of 2920 degrees C. These thermocouples have a high thermoelectric output and excellent relationship to temperatures up to 2760 degrees C

Low-frequency method for magnetothermopower and Nernst effect measurements on single crystal samples at low temperatures and high magnetic fields
We describe an AC method for the measurement of the longitudinal (Sxx) and
transverse (Sxy, i.e. Nernst) thermopower of mm-size single crystal samples at
low temperatures (T30 T). A low-frequency (33
mHz) heating method is used to increase the resolution, and to determine the
temperature gradient reliably in high magnetic fields. Samples are mounted
between two thermal blocks which are heated by a sinusoidal frequency f0 with a
p/2 phase difference. The phase difference between two heater currents gives a
temperature gradient at 2f0. The corresponding thermopower and Nernst effect
signals are extracted by using a digital signal processing method due. An
important component of the method involves a superconducting link, YBa2Cu3O7+d
(YBCO), which is mounted in parallel with sample to remove the background
magnetothermopower of the lead wires. The method is demonstrated for the quasi
two-dimensional organic conductor a-(BEDT-TTF)2KHg(SCN)4, which exhibits a
complex, magnetic field dependent ground state above 22.5 T at low
temperatures.Comment: 11 pages, 6 figures, 15 reference
Basic hydrogeologic and remote sensing data for selection of sanitary landfill sites
Solid waste disposal were studied in Volusia County to protect the water supply in the area. Highlands in this County are of limited areal extent and, most significantly, the sand hills and ridges are in areas where recharge of the Floridan aquifer occurs. This study proves that well drained soils meeting the current State requirements are of limited areal extent. These areas should not be utilized as sanitary landfill sites! Rather, it is recommended that the Tomoka Farm Road site into the adjacent wetlands be extended. The County site on Rima Ridge recommended by Greenleaf-Telesca as the primary waste burial site in the County should be re-evaluated because of potential danger to the Daytona Beach water supply
