Exploratory development of a glass ceramic automobile thermal reactor
This report summarizes the design, fabrication and test results obtained for glass-ceramic (CER-VIT) automotive thermal reactors. Several reactor designs were evaluated using both engine-dynamometer and vehicle road tests. A maximum reactor life of about 330 hours was achieved in engine-dynamometer tests with peak gas temperatures of about 1065 C (1950 F). Reactor failures were mechanically induced. No evidence of chemical degradation was observed. It was concluded that to be useful for longer times, the CER-VIT parts would require a mounting system that was an improvement over those tested in this program. A reactor employing such a system was designed and fabricated
Integrable Electron Model with Correlated Hopping and Quantum Supersymmetry
We give the quantum analogue of a recently introduced electron model which
generalizes the Hubbard model with additional correlated hopping terms and
electron pair hopping. The model contains two independent parameters and is
invariant with respect to the quantum superalgebra . It is
integrable in one dimension by means of the quantum inverse scattering method.Comment: 7 pages, AmsTex fil
Thermally excited fluctuations as a pure electron plasma temperature diagnostic
Thermally excited charge fluctuations in pure electron plasma columns provide a diagnostic for the plasma temperature over a range of 0.05 0.2, so that Landau damping is dominant and well modeled by theory. The third method compares the total (frequency-integrated) number delta N of fluctuating image charges on the wall antenna to a simple thermodynamic calculation. This method works when lambda(D)/R-p > 0.2
