Absorption Spectra of Plutonium and Impurity Ions in Nitric Acid Solution

Description: The absorption spectra for Pu(III), (IV), (VI), and the red Pu(IV)- peroxy complex were determined in HNO/sub 3/ solution. Extinction coefficients for the above species of Pu were measured. Temperature has little effect on the spectra, but variation of acidity causes shifting of absorption peaks and some changes in the extinction coefficients. The absorption spectra and extinction coefficients in the region 390 to 1200 m mu were measured for chromic, nickelous, manganous, calcium, lanthanum, al… more

An analysis of buzzing in supersonic ram jets by a modified one-dimensional nonstationary wave theory

Description: From Introduction: "The buzz or pulsation of axially symmetric supersonic inlets having central bodies has been the subject of investigations since Oswatitsch first observed the phenomenon in 1944 (ref.1). This buzzing is essentially an oscillation of the normal shock along the spike of certain diffusers operating at mass flows below design, and this buzz decreases the performance of the propulsion units appreciably (ref.2). This paper continues the analysis of the buzzing cycle by means of a m… more

Bending Tests of Ring-Stiffened Circular Cylinders

Description: Twenty-five ring-stiffened circular cylinders were loaded to failure in bending. The results are presented in the form of design curves which are applicable to cylinders with heavy rings that fail as a result of local buckling.

Blowing Over the Flaps and Wing Leading Edge of a Thin 49 Degree Swept Wing-Body-Tail Configuration in Combination With Leading-Edge Devices

Description: Report presenting an investigation in the full-scale tunnel to determine the effects of the low-speed aerodynamic characteristics of blowing air over the trailing-edge flap of a large-scale wing-body-tail model. Results regarding half-span flaps and full-span flaps, pitching-moment and longitudinal trim characteristics, drag characteristics, lift-drag ratio, and lateral control are provided.

A Brief Summary of Experience in Boosting Aerodynamic Research Models

Description: "Approximately 2,000 flights of rocket-propelled models have been made in which model configuration, model size, type and number of booster rockets, number of booster stages, and booster arrangements varied. A brief summary of the results obtained with some of the more unusual arrangements, descriptions of boosting hardware and techniques, and discussions of some factors responsible for the choice of these configurations are presented in this paper. The results show that unconventional boosting… more

Comparison of several methods for obtaining the time response of linear systems to either a unit impulse or arbitrary input from frequency-response data

Description: Report presenting a description and comparison of several methods of obtaining the time response of linear systems to either a unit impulse or an arbitrary input from frequency-response data. All of the methods give good accuracy when applied to a second-order system; the main difference is the required computing time.

CRYSTALLITE SIZES OF PuO$sub 2$ POWDERS

Description: Samples of PuO/sub 2/ were examined by x-ray diffraction for crystallite size and perfection. The PuO/sub 2/ was formed by thermal decomposition of the oxalate. Measurement of the integral widths of diffraction lines gave values of broadening which were used to calculate the effective crystallite thickness. (J.R.D.)

Crystallite Sizes of PuO_2 Powders

Description: In connection with studies of the chemical reactivity of PuO_2 to hydrofluorination, samples were examined by X-ray diffraction for crystallite size and perfection. The PuO_2 was formed by thermal decomposition of the oralate. The reactivity of this oxide, as well as that of other solid oxides is affected by the conditions of preparation. Besides the obvious influence of surface, including lattice strain and other structural irregularities in the particles. Each particle is composed of a number… more

DEVELOPMENT AND PROPERTIES OF URANIUM-BASE ALLOYS CORROSION RESISTANT IN HIGH TEMPERATURE WATER. PART III. CORROSION MECHANISM OF URANIUM-BASE ALLOYS IN HIGH TEMPERATURE WATER

Description: The factors affecting corrosion resistance both of bare and of clad uranium-base alloys are reviewed and a mechanism proposed for their corrosion behavior. For unclad gamma-phase uranium alloys exposed to a high temperature water corrodent, it is proposed that the corrosion rate is determined primarily by the oxidation of the alloy by water. This behavior is contrary to that of alpha uranium in which the corrosion rate is primarily determined by the formation and subsequent oxidation of a nonad… more

Drag at Model Trim Lift of a 1/15-Scale Convair B-58 Supersonic Bomber

Description: Memorandum presenting an investigation utilizing a 1/15-scale rocket-propelled model of the Convair B-58 supersonic bomber. The drag at model trim lift was obtained at a range of Mach and Reynolds numbers. A comparison of the drag at transonic speeds and approximately the same Reynolds number showed excellent agreement.
