    Pittsburgh Energy Technology Center; Unsolicited Financial 
    Assistance Award
    
    ACTION: Acceptance of an Unsolicited Proposal Application of a Grant 
    Award with Lovelace Institution.

    SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (DOE) announces that pursuant to 10 
    CFR600.14, it intends to award financial assistance (grant) through the 
    Pittsburgh Energy Technology Center to The Lovelace Institute for a 
    research effort entitled ``Velocity and Concentration Studies of 
    Flowing Suspensions by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging.''
    
    ADDRESSES: Department of Energy, Pittsburgh Energy Technology Center, 
    Acquisition and Assistance Division, P.O. Box 10940, MS 921-118, 
    Pittsburgh, PA 15236.
    
    FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
    Cynthia Y. Mitchell, Contract Specialist (412) 892-4862. Comments or 
    inquiries should be submitted within 14 days of the date of this 
    announcement.
    
    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Grant Number: DE-FG22-94PC94248.
    
        Title of Research Effort: ``Velocity and Concentration Studies of 
    Flowing Suspensions by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging.''
        Awardee: Lovelace Institute.
        Term of Assistance Effort: Thirty-six (36) months.
        Grant Estimated Total Value: $356,664.
        Objective: Based upon the authority of 10 CFR 600.14, the objective 
    of this grant is for The Lovelace Institute to develop Nuclear Magnetic 
    Resonance Imaging (NRMI) as a non-invasive technique to measure flow 
    parameters for all components of multiphase flow. The Institute will 
    also develop a method to measure velocity of the solid phase, in 
    addition to the liquid phase, in concentrated suspension flow 
    regardless of the sample opacity. Such studies will contribute to the 
    understanding of solids transport via flows of suspensions. Ultimately, 
    Lovelace institute will measure the velocity in nonsteady flows. The 
    Institute has pioneered the application of NMRI to flows of 
    concentrated suspensions. The Lovelace Institute will also apply the 
    proposed concepts to more complex flow geometries.
        This project will provide non-intrusive data which will be relevant 
    and useful in the scale-up and design of solids handling equipment, 
    thereby providing cost savings. Since solids handling is part of almost 
    all industrial energy production processes the public will benefit by 
    cost savings from greater efficiencies derived from improved knowledge 
    of solids handling processes. The project represents a unique and 
    innovative idea which would not be eligible for financial assistance 
    under a recent, current or planned solicitation, nor would a 
    competitive solicitation be appropriate.

    Contracting Officer.
