Compact Control Rod Drive Study For a Boiling Water Reactor in a T7 Tanker

Description: The reason for initiating the compact drive study for the T7 tanker was to investigate control rod drive size, location, and removal space requirement factors and select the control rod drive mechanism which would allow optimization of the over-all size of the containment vessel. Approximately twelve mechanical/hydraulic control rod drive arrangements were considered during this study.

Comparison between prediction and experiment for all-movable wing and body combinations at supersonic speeds: Lift, pitching moment, and hinge moment

Description: From Summary: "A simple method is presented for estimating lift, pitching-moment, and hinge-moment characteristics of all-movable wings in the presence of a body as well as the characteristics of wing-body combinations employing such wings. In general, good agreement between the method and experiment was obtained for the lift and pitching moment of the entire wing-body combination and for the lift of the wing in the presence of the body. The method is valid for moderate angles of attack, wing d… more

Forces and moments on pointed blunt-nosed bodies of revolution at Mach numbers from 2.75 to 5.00

Description: Results of tests to determine the aerodynamic forces and moments on bodies of revolution at angles of attack from 0 degrees to 25 degrees are presented and compared with theory. Cones and ogives of fineness ratios 3 to 7 and two blunt-nosed body shapes with fineness ratios 3 and 5 were tested at Mach numbers from 2.75 to 5.00. Reynolds numbers were from 0.5 million to 6.4 million, depending on Mach number and body fineness ratio.

Identification and Crystal Structure of Barium Hydrogen Phosphate

Description: From abstract: "The report describes the complete structure of barium hydrogen phosphate, Ba HPO4, as determined by means of x-ray diffraction. The crystal is orthorhombic, with cell dimensions given by a=5.71 A b=7.05 A c=4.61 A. The calculated density is 4.15gm/cm[^]3 for two molecules in the unit cell. The space group is C[subscript]2v[superscript]7-pmn. The barium, phosphorus, and two sets of oxygen lie in the plane of symmetry. The third set of oxygens are in general positions. Parameters … more

Lateral-control investigation at transonic speeds of retractable spoiler and plug-type spoiler-slot ailerons on a tapered 60 degree sweptback wing of aspect ratio 2 : transonic-bump method

Description: Report presenting an investigation utilizing the transonic-bump technique through a range of Mach numbers in the high-speed 7- by 10-foot tunnel to determine the lateral control characteristics of retractable spoiler and plug-type spoiler-slot ailerons. The wing had a sweepback of 60 degrees at the quarter-chord line, an aspect ratio of 2, a taper ratio of 0.6, and an NACA 65A006 airfoil section parallel to the free stream. The plug-type spoiler-slot aileron was found to be more effective in pr… more

Longitudinal Stability and Control Characteristics of a Canard Missile Configuration for Mach Numbers From 1.1 to 1.93 as Determined From Free-Flight and Wind-Tunnel Investigation

Description: Report presenting a study of the supersonic longitudinal stability and control characteristics of a canard missile configuration using flight tests and wind-tunnel tests at a range of Mach numbers and Reynolds numbers. Good correlation was noted for the two techniques for slopes of lift and moment coefficients against angle of attack and for aerodynamic-center location.

The Metal-Dielectric Junction of High-Voltage Insulators in Vacuum and Magnetic Field

Description: From introduction: "This study is concerned with the shape of the electrodes of high-voltage insulator and with the method of joining them to the dielectric. The study is limited to insulators operating in vacuum, with special interest in the cases where strong magnetic fields are present. It is further limited to insulators with the high-voltage electrodes maintained at negative potential. The object of the study was to obtain information that would aid in improving the design of the insulator… more

Oralloy Shape Factor Measurements

Description: Measurements have been at the Pajarito remote control laboratory to determine the effect of change of shape on system reactivity for oralloy cylinders. Systems tested include cylindrical configurations with various height-to-diameter ratios ranging from slabs to rods. Each system reactivity is referred to that of a sphere in the same tamper. Reactivity tests were made on bare (untamped) Oy configurations, as well as on systems In tuballoy tampers 1.12,1.87,and 8.0 thick. The amount of reactivit… more

Peeler Extraction of a Synchrocyclotron Beam

Description: This report follows the study of a perturbation in the fringing magnetic field of a synchrocyclotron, using the computed unperturbed orbits of the modified Berkeley 184-inch synchrocyclotron, and introduces the peeler extraction to overcome limitations by using a perturbation that recedes with increasing radial amplitude.

Preliminary Experimental Investigation of Flutter Characteristics of M and W Wings

Description: Report presenting the results of nine experimental flutter tests involving two flat-plate models and two rib and spar models of NACA 0012 airfoil sections in order to give a comparison of the flutter characteristics of wings with M and W type plan forms. The W plan form generally gave higher flutter speeds than the M plan forms.

The Reaction of Tritium and Stopcock Grease

Description: This investigation was begun as a result of a mass spectrometric measurement of two samples of tritium which had been stored for several months in Pyrex glass bulbs using stopcocks. The first of these was originally supposed to be of extremely high isotopic and chemical purity. What was observed at this time was 1.45 H had accumulated, and that tritiated methane, CT4, was also present to the extent of 0.18%. A consistent attempt had been made in this sample to protect the gas from contact with … more

Reactivity of the Critical Experiment as a Function of Gap Width

Description: "The split reactor of the Critical Experiment is analyzed, using a single-energy group-diffusion approximation. A further approximation is introduced in that the two halves of the reactor are treated as a parallelopipeds rather than the half-cylinders. The reactivity of the reactor is obtained as a function of the separation of the two halves, both for the 'standard' uranium concentration and for various greater concentrations."

Status Report on the K-4 Magnetic Induction Machine

Description: Due to laboratory interest in devices capable of production of high current with short rise times in gaseous discharges (plasmas), an experimental machine has been built and tested to obtain data applicable to the design of a high gradient magnetic induction machine. This machine consists of a condenser type energy storage bank air core coupled to a toroid in which the plasma is produced. It has been used to determine circuit parameters and the effect of these parameters on the plasma.
