There is no alpha emission in LENR as we have no kinetic behavior.
Usually the EM energy contained in the 2 x 2 Dimension wobbling D-D pair
is down-scaled by external magnetic moments, that are able to couple
with the 2x2D field. At the end kinetic H*/D* are taking over the energy.
There is a lot of experimental evidence for this behavior!
Just to remember you: Hydrogen/H* gets added to elements (A+H*) like a
neutron as the orbital "deeper" electron is able to bind to the nucleus
too. Deuterium D* is added as two protons!! equivalent. That's why we
see a lot of beta+ decay paths after adding D to a nucleus.
This, said here, is not guesswork as most things communicated in the
last group e-mails: It's experimentally measured behavior!

Of course, the presumption is that the excess heat in Mizuno's reactor
is being generated in his Ni screen and thermally transferred to the
outer SS shell of his reactor vessel. That is not necessarily the
case. If the output of the reaction was kinetic charged particle
emission, and in particular if it was alpha emission, the energy could
be transferred almost 50% directly to the shell of the vessel without
having the Ni mesh be hotter than the outside of the vessel. The same
would be even more true if the output were low energy photons. At
this point, we don't have enough data to know.
Fortunately, the reactor and protocol seem very simple, and
replication should provide ample opportunities for evaluation of the
possibilities.

“”Here's the problem. The Ni mesh reactant is right up against the

portion of the wall just outside the mesh gets hot. Significantly
hotter than the rest of the outside wall, or the ends of reactor.
That would be difficult to model, I think. It complicates matters.”
Modeling temperatures in a metal object is old hat. The reactor
vessel would be easy to model IMHO.
Such modeling would add to the understanding of the air cooling
and identify if any heat is being generated in the metal of the
reactor vessel as a result of unexpected reactions adding or
subtracting energy to the metal of the reactor vessel.
Validation of any thermal model would be substantial with
information from both the dummy reactor and the LENR reactor.
You cannot have too many thermocouples for a validation from my
experience--complications be damned.
If the Ni mesh is the source of heat from an LENR reaction, then
the contact between the mesh and the reactor wall at any spot will
be a factor in the temperature of the mesh. An ultrasonic
examination of such contacts over the entire reactor/mesh
interface would be desirable to facilitate modeling to determine
mesh temperatures, Temperature gradients in the mesh would
likely cause changes in the mesh/reactor wall contact,
substantially influencing the resulting temperature. The same
issues would apply to the dimensional stability of the heating wire.
Mizuno should specify the details associated with the mesh/reactor
wall contact as well as the details associated with the heating
wire contact.
