Comment on Temperature-Pressure Equilibrium Between Dispersed and Continuous Phases of a Material

Description: This memo calls attention to the fact that the relationship between equilibrium temperature and the pressures in two phases of a material is {Delta}sdT = {Delta}(vdP) , and not, as now routinely assumed by bubble investigators, the Clausius-Clapeyron equation {Delta}sdT = {Delta}vdP . If one phase is discontinuous (subscript "d") and consists of spheres of radius r in a continuous phase (subscript "c") whose pressure is held constant, then the equilibrium temperature will be… more

Effect of ground motion from nuclear excavation: interim canal studies

Description: The effect of ground motion due to nuclear excavation of a sea-level canal at two alternative routes, 17A and 25E, are discussed from the aspects of motion prediction and structural response. The importance of the high-rise building problem is stressed because of its complexity. Several damage criteria are summarized for advance planning of excavation and operation. The 1964 shot schedule and the latest revised schedule are included for comparison.

Experimental Drifts of Juvenile Chinook Salmon Through Effluent Discharges at Hanford in 1968

Description: Young chinook salmon held in live boxes were drifted through Hanford reactor discharges in the central Columbia River, with the objective of evaluating the affect of heated effluents on fish survival. No significant mortalities of fish were recorded from 12 drifts during the spring (March--April) when base river temperatures were low, ranging from 4 to 7.6 C. Some mortalities occurred, however, in 3 of 24 drifts conducted in late summer (August--September) when base river temperatures extended … more

An Experimental Test of Time-Reversal Invariance inthePhotodisintegration of the Deuteron

Description: We present data from a measurement of angular distributions of the reaction n + p {yields} {gamma} + d (1a) for neutrons with energies between 300 and 700 MeV. These data are compared with recent data for the inverse reaction {gamma} + d {yields} n + p (1b). Time-reversal invariance implies that apart from a normalization factor the angular distributions should be the same. We find an intriguing discrepancy in the vicinity of the well-known peak in the total cross section of reaction (1b) and a… more

THE MOUNTAIN IRON DIFFUSION PROGRAM: PHASE II SOUTH VANDENVERG: VOLUME 3

Description: A series of field diffusion experiments conducted at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California are discussed. These tests were designed to provide the necessary data from which an empirical equation, derived by multiple regression analysis, has been developed. This equation is to be used as a range safety tool in support of missile activities on the Air Force Western Test Range at the Sudden Ranch Launch Complex, SLC-6. The field experiments utilized a fluorescent pigment, zinc sulfide, U. S. Radiu… more
