This paper describes the qualification testing of the TF40B marine gas turbine in accordance with the duty cycle as specified in MIL-E-17341C, but with modifications that reflect the specific engine application to the U.S. Navy LCAC vehicle. Among the particular requirements of the 1000 hour test are continuous operation in a salt-laden environment of given concentration and humidity, and frequent shutdowns from relatively high power with an ensuing soakback interval. The narrative discusses the method of test, the duty cycle, and the results which were obtained. In an epilogue which focuses on posttest activities, a description is given of the corrective actions taken to resolve certain problems that arose during the course of the test. One such problem, namely the occurrence of carbon erosion upon certain hot section components, was eliminated by modification to the combustor, in a very successful posttest test development program.

ABSTRACTHigh power gyrotrons have been developed for application to plasma heating in the program of magnetically confined nuclear fusion research. Gyrotron power levels of up to 1 MW in long pulse operation (>ls) and up to 200 kW in true continuous operation (CW) have been demonstrated at frequencies in the 8 to 140 GHz range. The status of high power gyrotron development is reviewed. One current goal of the worldwide gyrotron effort is the development of 1 MW,CW gyrotrons at a frequency of about 170 GHz for heating the proposed international tokamak ITER to ignition. Gyrotrons are also now being used in a variety of other applications including materials processing. Improved gyrotrons with features such as wide range tuning could be developed for industrial applications.

The tubular type and plate-and-frame type are two conventional kinds of membrane modules used for collected human excreta treatment. However. such modules are hindered by high power consumption. blocking of the membrane by fiber components. the need for frequent cleaning and other such problems. Here, the authors investigated the performance and stability of a collected human excreta treatment plant utilizing rotary disk modules developed for the separation of highly concentrated liquid. As a result, it was found that, whether treating activated sludge or coagulated sludge, continuous operation over more than six months can be achieved at a low power consumption and without chemical cleaning. By this the authors have shown that rotary disk modules can be applied to the treatment of highly concentrated residential wastewater.

Abstract. Power facilitates goal pursuit, but how does power affect the way people respond to conflict between their multiple goals? Our results showed that higher trait power was associated with reduced experience of conflict in scenarios describing multiple goals (Study 1) and between personal goals (Study 2). Moreover, manipulated low power increased individuals’ experience of goal conflict relative to high power and a control condition (Studies 3 and 4), with the consequence that they planned to invest less into the pursuit of their goals in the future. With its focus on multiple goals and individuals’ experiences during goal pursuit rather than objective performance, the present research uses new angles to examine power effects on goal pursuit.
