A Description of the Acetone-Dye Solution Method of Demarcating a Leak Process Tubing While in the Pile

Description: Abstract: "A method has been devised and successfully used for marking a leaking pile process tube prior to its removal from the pile, such that subsequent location of the leak is more easily accomplished. An acetone solution of Testor's Dark Red Airplane Dope is poured into the suspect tube. The solution leaks from the hole and stains the surrounding area a light pink. To date the method has been used on tubes 3573F, 0486F, 0867F, and 3670F."

Bismuth Casting and Canning : (Information Report)

Description: Introduction: The experimental work at Mound Laboratory on bismuth casting and the sealing of aluminum irradiation containers is an outgrowth of the bismuth recovery project. Since the recovered bismuth contains residual activity it is necessary that the bismuth be processed to the point that no contamination will result from shipment or any subsequent operations required to prepare the bismuth for irradiation. In order to satisfy these requirements the work here has consisted of investigating … more

Dynamic corrosion of a stainless-steel specimen by water at 500 degrees F using a toroid circulating apparatus

Description: A slug of air-saturated distilled water was circulated for 317 hours at a velocity of 15 feet per second in an AISI 347 stainless-steel toroid with a wall temperature of 500 F and a 30 F difference in temperature between the hot and cold sections. The depth of corrosion layer was 0.001 inch (0.028 in./yr) in the hot sector and 0.0007 inch (0.019 in./yr) in the cold sector; no mass transfer was observed. The results of gas,water,and X-ray diffraction analyses are given together with photomicrogr… more

Effect of Geometry on Secondary Flows in Blade Rows

Description: Memorandum presenting an investigation of the influence of blade-row geometry on secondary flows in a two-dimensional cascade by varying independently stagger angle, aspect ratio, solidity, and angle of attack and by providing blade fillets. Stagger angle and aspect ratio had no appreciable effect on this secondary flow, whereas solidity and angle of attack did affect the flow patterns indicating the turning as a major parameter.

A Preliminary Investigation of the Static and Dynamic Longitudinal Stability of a Grunberg Hydrofoil System

Description: "A preliminary investigation has been made in order to determine the static and dynamic longitudinal stability characteristics and the force characteristics of a Grunberg hydrofoil system comprising a main lifting hydrofoil and planing-surface stabilizers. The tests showed that a rearward movement of the center of gravity decreased the static and dynamic stability but increased the lift-drag ratio. In smooth water, adequate static stability was observed for all conditions tested" (p. 1).

Use of Fences to Increase Uniformity of Boundary Layer on Side Walls of Supersonic Wind Tunnels

Description: "An investigation of the use of solid fences installed on the side walls of a supersonic wind tunnel to retard the development of transverse flow and thus to increase the uniformity of the side-wall boundary layer is reported. Beneficial results were obtained with fences which had depths of the order of the boundary-layer displacement thickness and which followed potential-flow streamlines through the nozzle. Reduction of the number of fences on each side wall from four to two eliminated their … more
