Graphite resistive heated diamond anvil cell for simultaneous high-pressure and high-temperature diffraction experiments
High-pressure and high-temperature experiments using a resistively heated diamond anvil cell have the advantage of heating samples homogeneously with precise temperature control. Here, we present the design and performance of a graphite resistive heated diamond anvil cell (GRHDAC) setup for powder and single-crystal x-ray diffraction experiments developed at the Extreme Conditions Beamline (P02.2) at PETRA III, Hamburg, Germany. In the GRHDAC, temperatures up to 2000 K can be generated at high pressures by placing it in a water-cooled vacuum chamber. Temperature estimates from thermocouple measurements are within +/–35 K at the sample position up to 800 K and within +90 K between 800 and 1400 K when using a standard seat combination of cBN and WC. Isothermal compression at high temperatures can be achieved by employing a remote membrane control system. Importantly, the advantage of the GRHDAC is demonstrated through the study of geophysical processes in the Earth’s crust and upper mantle region.

High-Pressure, High-Temperature Synthesis and Characterization of Polar and Magnetic LuCrWO 6
We report a new polar and magnetic oxide, LuCrWO 6 , was synthesized under high pressure (6 GPa) and high temperature (1673 K). LuCrWO 6 is isostructural with the previously reported polar YCrWO 6 (SG: Pna21, no. 33). The ordering of CrO 6 and WO 6 octahedra in the edge-shared dimers induce the polar structure. The effective size of rare earth, Ln cation does not seem to affect the symmetry of LnCrWO 6 . Second harmonic generation measurements of LuCrWO 6 confirmed the noncentrosymmetric character and strong piezoelectric domains are observed from piezoresponse force microscopy at room temperature. LuCrWO 6 exhibits antiferromagnetic behavior, T N , of ~18 K with a Weiss temperature of -30.7 K.

Design and preliminary results of a semitranspiration cooled (Lamilloy) liner for a high-pressure high-temperature combustor
A Lamilloy combustor liner was designed, fabricated and tested in a combustor at pressures up to 8 atmospheres. The liner was fabricated of a three layer Lamilloy structure and designed to replace a conventional step louver liner. The liner is to be used in a combustor that provides hot gases to a turbine cooling test facility at pressures up to 40 atmospheres. The Lamilloy liner was tested extensively at lower pressures and demonstrated lower metal temperatures than the conventional liner, while at the same time requiring about 40 percent less cooling air flow. Tests conducted at combustor exit temperatures in excess of 2200 K have not indicated any cooling or durability problems with the Lamilloy linear.

Combining Hard with Soft Materials in Nanoscale Under High-Pressure High-Temperature Conditions
Nano-composites with a primary nanocrystalline ceramic matrix and a secondary nanocrystalline material (metal or semiconductor) were synthesized by infiltration of an appropriate liquid into ceramic compacts under pressures of up to 8 GPa and temperatures of up to 2000 K. The purpose of our work is to obtain nanocomposites which constitute homoger?ous mixtures of two phases, both forming nano- grains of about 10 nm in size. The high pressure is used to bring the porosity of the compacted powders down to the nano-scale and force a given liquid into the nano-sized pores. The advantage of the infiltration technique is that, in a single, continuous process, we start with a nanocrystalline powder, compress it to form the matrix of the composite, and crystallize and/or synthesize a second nanomaterial in the matrix pores. The key limitation of this technology is, that the pores in the matrix need to stay open during the entire process of infiltration. Thus the initial powder should form a rigid skeleton, otherwise the so-called self-stop process can limit cr block a further flow of the liquid phase and hinder the process of the composite formation. Therefore powders of only very hard ceramic materials like diamond, Sic, or Alz03, which can withstand a substantial external load without undesired deformation, can be used as the primary phase. With this technique, using diamond and S i c ceramic powders infiltrated by liquid metals (AI, Zn, Sn, Ag, Au) and semiconductors (Si, Ge, GaAs, CdTe), we obtained nano-composites with the grain size in the range of 10 - 30 nm. Our work addresses the key problem in manufacturing bulk nanocrystalline materials, i.e. preservation of nano-scale during the fabrication process. In this paper we discuss basic technical and methodological problems associated with nano-infiltration based on the results obtained for Zn-Sic composites.

Review of Rover fuel element protective coating development at Los Alamos
The Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory (LASL) entered the nuclear propulsion field in 1955 and began work on all aspects of a nuclear propulsion program with a target exhaust temperature of about 2750 K. A very extensive chemical vapor deposition coating technology for preventing catastrophic corrosion of reactor core components by the high temperature, high pressure hydrogen propellant gas was developed. Over the 17-year term of the program, more than 50,000 fuel elements were coated and evaluated. Advances in performance were achieved only through closely coupled interaction between the developing fuel element fabrication and protective coating technologies. The endurance of fuel elements in high temperature, high pressure hydrogen environment increased from several minutes at 2000 K exit gas temperature to 2 hours at 2440 K exit gas temperature in a reactor test and 10 hours at 2350 K exit gas temperature in a hot gas test. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the rationale for selection of coating materials used (NbC and ZrC), identify critical fuel element-coat interactions that had to be modified to increase system performance, and review the evolution of protective coating technology.

Implications for Core Formation of the Earth from High Pressure-Temperature Au Partitioning Experiments
Siderophile elements in the Earth.s mantle are depleted relative to chondrites. This is most pronounced for the highly siderophile elements (HSEs), which are approximately 400x lower than chondrites. Also remarkable is the relative chondritic abundances of the HSEs. This signature has been interpreted as representing their sequestration into an iron-rich core during the separation of metal from silicate liquids early in the Earth's history, followed by a late addition of chondritic material. Alternative efforts to explain this trace element signature have centered on element partitioning experiments at varying pressures, temperatures, and compositions (P-T-X). However, first results from experiments conducted at 1 bar did not match the observed mantle abundances, which motivated the model described above, a "late veneer" of chondritic material deposited on the earth and mixed into the upper mantle. Alternatively, the mantle trace element signature could be the result of equilibrium partitioning between metal and silicate in the deep mantle, under P-T-X conditions which are not yet completely identified. An earlier model determined that equilibrium between metal and silicate liquids could occur at a depth of approximately 700 km, 27(plus or minus 6) GPa and approximately 2000 (plus or minus 200) C, based on an extrapolation of partitioning data for a variety of moderately siderophile elements obtained at lower pressures and temperatures. Based on Ni-Co partitioning, the magma ocean may have been as deep as 1450 km. At present, only a small range of possible P-T-X trace element partitioning conditions has been explored, necessitating large extrapolations from experimental to mantle conditions for tests of equilibrium models. Our primary objective was to reduce or remove the additional uncertainty introduced by extrapolation by testing the equilibrium core formation hypothesis at P-T-X conditions appropriate to the mantle.

Determination of the SSME high pressure oxidizer turbopump bearing temperature
The SSME high pressure liquid oxygen turbopump (HPOTP) bearings sometimes wear and experience heating and oxidation of the ball and raceway surfaces. So far it has been impossible to measure the temperature of the bearings directly during operation of the turbopumps. However, a method was developed for determining the surface temperature of the bearings from the composition of the oxides using oxidation samples for calibration and Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES) for chemical analysis.

Long-Term High-Temperature High-Pressure Cable for Geothermal Logging Tools
Downhole logging tools are commonly used to characterize multi-thousand-foot geothermal wells. The elevated temperatures, pressures, and harsh chemical environments present significant challenges for the long-term operation of these tools, especially when real-time data transmission to the surface is required via data cable lines. Teflon-based single or multi-conductor cables with grease-filled cable heads are typically used for downhole tools. However, over extended periods of operation, the gr

Diffusion bonded compact heat exchanger in Inconel 740H for high temperature and high-pressure applications
It is desired to develop heat exchangers able to be operated at high temperatures (750°C) and pressures (3636 psi) for use in advanced Brayton power cycle. Conventional materials have not had the high strength at temperature required for these applications previously, however a fairly new material Inconel 740H developed by Special Metals for the ultra-supercritical water fossil industry has shown good performance under these conditions. In further efforts to capitalize on these new high strength high temperature alloys CompRex has developed a diffusion bonding procedure capable of alloying compact high effectiveness heat exchangers that can perform under these high temperature and high-pressure conditions. Initial tests of the heat exchanger are being conducted at the University of Wisconsin using supercritical CO2 working fluid. The bonding process has been adjusted such that the strength of the bonded block has achieved over 90% yield and tensile strength of the 740H base material values. Grain size before and after bonding were measured to determine the extent of grain growth and grain diffusion across the interface. A discussion of the heat exchanger design, etching and initial tensile tests on sample bonds will be discussed.

Evaluation of thermal loading on a methane injector at high pressure and temperature
Experimental and numerical analyses are conducted to determine the surface temperature on a methane fuel injector used to produce a high enthalpy test stream for a combustion-fed subscale wind tunnel facility. It was found that the ratio of the methane fuel injection velocity to the air stream velocity is a significant factor in the production of high injector surface temperatures which lead to rapid deterioration of the fuel injector structure. The numerical code utilized for the computational analysis was found to be representative of the experimentally measured data since the experimental trends were reproduced by the numerical simulation. The quantitative accuracy of the numerical predictions could not be assessed from the data gathered because of the difficulty of making a noninterfering injector surface temperature measurement. The numerical code can be used for parametric evaluation of combustor parameters and thus will serve as an important tool in the design of such fuel injector systems.
