Comparison Of Nuclear And Coal Power Plants Using Net Energy Analysis, Nicholas Tsoulfanidis, Gazendra Suwal

UMR-MEC Conference on Energy / UMR-DNR Conference on Energy

Net Energy Analysis has been used to compare coal and nuclear power plants. Net Energy Analysis is a method by which a system is studied in terms of the energy needed to construct and operate every unit or item associated with that system, its effects to the environment and the energy produced by the system. The results of the comparison are expressed as the ratio of the total energy output divided by the total energy input.

The Water Monomer On The Basal Plane Of Ice Iₕ: An Effective Pair, Central Force Potential Model Of The Static Interaction, Jerry Kiefer, Barbara N. Hale

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

The H₂O-H₂O intermolecular central force potential of Lemberg and Stillinger is used to obtain optimal binding energy surfaces, vibrational frequencies, and bonding configurations of an adsorbed water monomer on a model basal plane of ice I_h. The monomer interacts (pairwise) with 50 molecules arranged in two layers of the unrelaxed bulk ice lattice. The results of calculations for three model surface sites of differing proton arrangement indicate the existence of diffusion barriers of the order of 2.5 kcal/mole and optimal monomer bonding sites at about 9 kcal/mole with nonepitaxial characteristics. Perspective computer-drawn plots of …

Evaluation Of Organic Additives For Use In Zinc Electrowinning, R. C. Kerby, H. E. Jackson, Thomas J. O'Keefe, Yar Ming Wang

Materials Science and Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Organic additives are used extensively in zinc electrowinning to assist in controlling the process. A cyclic voltammetry technique has been developed to provide a rapid, quantitative evaluation of the effectiveness of selected organic additives in minimizing the deleterious effects that impurities, such as antimony, have on zinc deposition. Results have indicated that animal glues are more effective than the other organic additives tested, which included several gums, enzymes, and amino acids, in relation to the current efficiency of zinc production. Of the various animal glues compared in this research, the most effective appeared to have average molecular weights in the …

High Spin-Low Spin Crossover And Antiferromagnetic Interactions In Tris(1-Pyrrolidinecarbodithioato)Iron(Iii) And The 4-Morpholine (Fem) And Dibutyl Analogs, Effect Of Recrystallization Solvent, And Crystal Structure Of Fem·Nitrobenzene, Edward J. Cukauskas, Bascom Sine Deaver, Ekkehard Sinn

Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works

High sensitivity magnetic susceptibility determinations, especially in the range 1.2-4.2 K on pure and dilute tris(pyrrolidinecarbodithioato)iron(III) (FeP) in its high spin form, show that a maximum at about 2 K is caused by antiferromagnetic interactions. The analogous chromium(III) complex does not exhibit significant antiferromagnetism compared to that of the iron complex, and it is likely that the upper e electrons possessed by the iron and not by the chromium are responsible for the bulk of the antiferromagnetism. As the iron atoms are about 9 Å apart in discrete molecules, the antiferromagnetic interactions presumably occur between unpaired spins delocalized on to …

X-Ray Investigation Of The Critical Exponent Η In Argon, Harold D. Bale, J. S. Lin, Duane A. Dolejsi, James L. Casteel, Oran Allan Pringle, Paul W. Schmidt

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

Measurements were made of the small-angle x-ray scattering intensity from argon near the critical point. After the scattering curves are corrected for all known effects except those resulting from irrelevant variables, a value of the critical exponent η=0.09±0.02 is obtained, while if a correction for the estimated effect of irrelevant variables is also made, η=0.03±0.03. The scattering data for argon therefore show that if irrelevant variables can be neglected, the critical exponent η for argon is in good agreement with the value obtained by Warkulwiz, Mozer, and Green from small-angle neutron scattering data for neon. These values of η, however, …

Missouri River Computerized Data Bank, Glendon Taylor Stevens

Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

This report explains the results of "The Missouri River Computerized Data Bank." It contains all known data collected on the Missouri River beginning in the mid-1930's.

It should be noted that only 10% of the included data has been verified, i.e. has been checked against the source document. A bounds check was performed by the computer on each piece of data for upper and lower limits established for each type of data. Any potential user of these data should be aware of this fact and that, on the average, 1 piece of data out of 200 may be in error. …

Metal-Ion Oxidative Decarboxylations. 9. Reaction Of Benzilic Acid With Cerium(Iv) In Acidic Perchlorate And Sulfate Media, Samir B. Hanna, Sezai A. Sarac

Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works

The kinetics of oxidation of benzylic acid (HLH) to benzophenone by cerium (IV) has been studied in several media using the stopped-flow technique. In HClO₄-Na₂SO₄-NaClO₄ media, which allow for the variation and control of the concentrations of the various Ce(IV) species at constant [H⁺] and ionic strength, the rate data suggest CeSO₄²⁺ as the kinetically relevant species. In HClO₄ the observed first-order rate constants, tetrad, first increase with increasing HLH concentration, then decrease slightly at higher substrate concentrations suggesting the intermediacy of two complexes: a reactive [Ce(IV)HL] and …

Metal-Ion Oxidative Decarboxylations. 10. Substituent Effects In The Cerium(Iv)-Benzilic Acids Reaction, Samir B. Hanna, Sezai A. Sarac

Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works

The rates of oxidation by cerium (IV) of several substituted benzylic acids (unsubstituted, 2,2′-dichloro, 4,4′-dichloro, 4,4′-dimethyl, 4,4′-dimethoxy, and 4,4′-dinitro) to the corresponding benzophenones have been studied spectrophotometrically in aqueous H₂SO₄, aqueous HClO₄-HOAc, and acetonitrile. The rates are much slower in H₂SO₄ than in the other two media, probably because of heavy sulfato complexation of cerium(IV). The px as of the various acids were determined potentiometrically. The Hammett p values in acetonitrile and HClO₄-HOAc media, derived from correlations with several sets of σ constants and with the newly determined pK …
