Chemical Engineering Division Summary Report July, August, and September, 1957

Description: Development work continued on a fused salt process for the recovery of uranium from zirconium-matrix fuel alloys. The fuel is dissolved in a sodium fluoride-zirconium fluoride melt at 600°C by hydrogen fluoride sparging. The melt is then sparged with fluorine gas which volatilizes the dissolved uranium as the hexafluoride. The final decontamination and purification of the uranium hexafluoride are accomplished by fractional distillation. The testing of graphite as a container material for the hy… more

Eddy Current Detection of Al-Si Penetrations in Canned Slugs

Description: From abstract: "An instrument for detecting aluminum-silicon alloy penetrations in the aluminum jacket of fuel slugs is described. The instrument is of the eddy current type and the sensing element is a small probe that does not touch the specimen under inspection. Al-Si inclusions 0.020 inch in diameter that penetrate to within 0.005 inch of the can surface can be detected. The response of the circuits is such that a slug 8 inches long can be scanned in 45 seconds."

Effect of overheating on creep-rupture properties of HS-31 alloy at 1,500 degrees F

Description: Report presenting an investigation of overheating HS-31 alloy to four different temperatures during the course of rupture tests at 1500 degrees Fahrenheit. The intent was to develop basic information on the effect of overheats on creep-rupture properties so as to assist in the evaluation of damage from overheating during gas-turbine operation. Results regarding the rupture properties of test material, overheating in the absence of stress, overheating in the presence of stress, microstructural e… more

Effect of overheating on creep-rupture properties of S-816 alloy at 1,500 degrees F

Description: The effects of overheats to temperatures of 1650, 1800, 1900, and 2000 F were evaluated in terms of the changes in creep-rupture characteristics at 1500 F of S-816 alloy under stresses within the range of rupture strengths of the alloy for 100 to 1000 hours. Overheat periods were predominantly of 2-minute duration and were applied cyclically at approximately 5- or 12-hour intervals. The possible damage from overheating was believed to include internal metal structure changes induced by exposure… more

Effects of leading-edge blunting on the local heat transfer and pressure distributions over flat plates in supersonic flow

Description: Report presenting an investigation of the effect of leading-edge thickness on the flow over flat plates with square and cylindrical blunting at Mach number 4 and free-stream Reynolds numbers per inch of 2380 and 6600. For test conditions, the bow shock wave was detached and leading-edge shape had no effect on surface pressures aft of two leading-edge thicknesses. Results regarding surface pressure, flow-field surveys, heat transfer, boundary-layer thickness, surface pressure distribution, local… more

Experimental Droplet Impingement on Four Bodies of Revolution

Description: An experiment was conducted to obtain the rate and area of cloud droplet impingement on four bodies of revolution was conducted in the icing tunnel with a dye-tracer technique. The study included several forebody shapes of different fineness ratios over a range of angles of attack and rotational speeds. Results regarding velocity distribution, local impingement characteristics, and correlation of impingement characteristics are provided.

Heat transfer and recovery temperatures on a sphere with laminar, transitional, and turbulent boundary layers at Mach numbers of 2.00 and 4.15

Description: Report presenting an investigation of the pressure and equilibrium-temperature distributions on a sphere at Mach numbers of 2.00 and 4.15. The local aerodynamic heat transfer was measured on a sphere at Mach number 2.00 and on a hemisphere-cylinder at Mach number 4.15. Results regarding pressure distributions, equilibrium and recovery temperatures, heat-transfer coefficients, and effect of roughness on transition are provided.

Investigation of the effects of propeller diameter on the ability of a flapped wing, with and without boundary-layer control, to deflect a propeller slipstream downward for vertical take-off

Description: Report presenting an investigation to study the effects of propeller diameter on the ability of a flapped wing, with and without boundary-layer control, to deflect propeller slipstreams downward for vertical take-off. The results indicated that without boundary-layer control, an increase in the ratio of flap chord to propeller diameter increases the turning angle but decreases the ratio of resultant force to thrust.

Isolation and Identification of an Ester from a Crude Oil

Description: Abstract: "A dioctylphthalate has been isolated from a crude oil by means of adsorption column chromatography. The ester was identified by means of elemental analysis, refractive index, and its infrared adsorption spectrum. Saponification of the isolate and examination of the resultant alcohol by means of infrared adsorption spectra led to the conclusion that the ester is a branched chain dioctylphthalate. This is the first reported occurrence of an ester in crude petroleum."

A laboratory Ivestigation of the Fluorination of Crude Uranium Tertrafluoride

Description: Ore concentrates have been converted directly to crude uranium tetrafluoride by hydrogen reduction and hydrofluorination in fluidized-bed reactors. Small-scale laboratory experiments demonstrated that this process can be extended to the production of crude uranium hexafluoride through fluorination of the uranium tetrafluoride in a fluidized bed. The satisfactory temperature range for the reaction lies between 300°C and 600°C. At 450°C the fluorine utilization is between 50 and 80 per cent. With… more
