MULTIFACTOR RATIO ANALYSIS (FACTOR ANALYSIS) OF CORROSION DATA USING LOGARITHMIC TRANSFORMATIONS

A simplified analysts method for the examination of complex corrosion data is presented in terms of data from slurry corrosion toroid experiments. This method facilitates the assignment of average effects to specific imposed experimental variables in a test series. It is based on statistical analysis of variance procedures but emphasizes the use of averages and presents results relative to a chosen reference experimental condition. The use of the logarithm of attack rate results in the expression of the effects of variables as ratios or multiplicative terms. (auth

Examination of corrosion specimens from slurry blanket mockup run SM-5

Generally low attack rates were displayed by specimens of type 347 stainless steel, titanium RC-55, and nket pe 347 stainless steel suffered more severe attack dut to erosive action by the slurry. Specimens SA-212-B carbon steel displayed attack rates of 230 to 300 mpy. (auth

Summary of specimen corrosion data from slurry blanket mock-up run SM-3

Examination of corrosion specimens from the 948 hour slurry blanket mock- up Run SM-3 lndicated generally low attack rates on type 347 stainless steel, titanium -75A, and Zircaloy-2. The upstream coupon of the array, of type 347 stainless steel, suffered moderate but more severe attack. Coupons of SA-212 grade B carbon steel were severely attacked. No stress corrosion cracking was noted on samples, placed in the pressurizer, of types 347 and AM 350 stainless steels, titanium aluminum--vanadium alloy, or Zircaloy-2. (auth

Examination of corrosion specimens from slurry blanket mockup run SM-4

Generally low attack rates were displayed by specimens of type 347 stainless steel, titanium-75A, and Zircaloy-2 which were exposed for 2396 hr in slurry blanket mock-up Run SM-4. The leading coupon of the array, of type 347 stainless steel, suffered more severe attack are to erosive action by the slurry. Coupons of SA-212-B carbon steel were consumed during the run. No stress corrosion cracking was noted on samples, placed in the pressurizer, of types 347 and AM 350 stainless steels, titanium-6A14V alloy, or Zircaloy-2. (auth

Fission product behavior in the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment

Essentially all the fission product data for numerous and varied samples taken during operation of the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment or as part of the examination of specimens removed after particular phases of operation are reported, together with the appropriate inventory or other basis of comparison, and relevant reactor parameters and conditions. Fission product behavior fell into distinct chemical groups. Evidence for fission product behavior during operation over a period of 26 months with $sup 235$U fuel (more than 9000 effective full-power hours) was consistent with behavior during operation using $sup 233$U fuel over a period of about 15 months (more than 5100 effective full- power hours).

Generalized Holographic Cosmology

We consider general black hole solutions in five-dimensional spacetime in the presence of a negative cosmological constant. We obtain a cosmological evolution via the gravity/gauge theory duality (holography) by defining appropriate boundary conditions on a four-dimensional boundary hypersurface. The standard counterterms are shown to renormalize the bare parameters of the system (the four-dimensional Newton's constant and cosmological constant). We discuss the thermodynamics of cosmological evolution and present various examples. The standard brane-world scenarios are shown to be special cases of our holographic construction.Comment: 15 pages, 5 figure
