Project C-431-A Production Facility design computations on outfall structure 1900-C

Description: Project C-431-A includes the design of the C Water Plant outfall structure. This report documents design assumptions and the design of the spillway, outfall sewers, spillway chute, trash racks, walkways, stop log and trash rack slots, main sewer, and retention sewers. The spillway capacity is to be 268,000 gpm with a crest elevation at 429.0. This flow capacity is composed of flow from the 105-C Retention Basin (80,000 gpm), 105-B Retention Basin (45,000 gpm), and the 190-C Area main sewer (143… more

Constant chemical addition to reduction operation in the 234-5 Building

Description: At the request of the ``S`` Division, a study has been made regarding the feasibility of simplifying operations by standardizing the amounts of chemical additions made at the reduction step as is the current practice in the purification operation. The investigation included a study of the following items, which are discussed under separate headings: (1) variation in feed; (2) maximum variation in booster ratios and per cent excess calcium using the method; and (3) chemicals handling and storage… more

Increased water flows and pressures to 105 buildings

Description: Document HW-21096, inquires regarding changes in equipment, so that various proposed flows of process water to each of the present production units, at several 105 control room pressures, may be effected. The proposed conditions are shown in table form in the report. For the purpose of calculations upon which this letter is based, the pressure used here is that which is recorded at the 105 control room ``inlet`` panel. It is actually the top of riser pressure, plus static head between the recor… more

The Use of Two-Dimensional Section Data to Estimate the Low-Speed Wing Lift Coefficient at Which Section Stall First Appears on a Swept Wing

Description: Report discusses a procedure for estimating the wing lift coefficient for and spanwise location of the first occurrence of section stall on a swept wing. It has been modified from a method used to calculate the same information for unswept wings. The effects of split flaps, leading-edge modifications, and fences are described.

Design of two-dimensional channels with prescribed velocity distributions along the channel walls

Description: "A general method of design is developed for two-dimensional unbranched channels with prescribed velocities as a function of arc length along the channel walls. The method is developed for both compressible and incompressible, irrotational, nonviscous flow and applies to the design of elbows, diffusers, nozzles, and so forth. In part I solutions are obtained by relaxation methods; in part II solutions are obtained by a Green's function. Five numerical examples are given in part I including thre… more

Flight Investigation of the Drag of Round-Nosed Bodies of Revolution at Mach Numbers From 0.6 to 1.5 Using Rocket-Propelled Test Vehicles

Description: "Values of total drag coefficient were measured for four round-nosed bodies of revolution in free flight at Mach numbers from 0.6 to 1.5 and Reynolds numbers from 10 x 10(6) to 50 x 10(6). The bodies were designed by rounding off the sharp, fineness-ratio-3.56 nose of a previously tested configuration. The nose radii tested were 27.4, 38.7, 80.6, and 100 percent of the maximum body radius and corresponded to values of 0.075, 0.150, 0.650, and 1.000, respectively, for the ratio of nose-sphere fr… more

A flight study of requirements for satisfactory lateral oscillatory characteristics of fighter aircraft

Description: Report presenting a pilot-opinion survey conducted with a conventional fighter airplane fitted with special servo devices for varying in flight the dihedral effect, static directional stability, and directional damping. Results showing the boundaries that define satisfactory and tolerable lateral oscillatory characteristics are presented.

Removal of ruptured slug from tube No. 2169-B

Description: The 105-B Pile which was shut down on July 18, 1951 to permit removal of a ruptured uranium slug from tube No. 2169-B. The rupture was detected from effluent water monitor evidence and a survey of rear face pigtails. Removal was accomplished with the pneumatic charging machine using only normal pushing force.

Some Comments on the Mechanism of Fission

Description: A correlation of spontaneous fission rates with Z and A is made to show that these rates depend on the nuclear type. Some suggestions as to the mechanisms are given and it is also shown how these relate to the mechanism of slow neutron and photo fission.

Tests on a High Current R.F. Joint in Vacuum

Description: An R.F. joint tester was designed to determine the relative heating and tendency toward arching at high RF current density (100 amps/linear inch) of a 12 inch diameter circular copper butt joint in vacuum with several types of inserts and at various amounts of axial loading, ranging from a very small contact pressure to one of 1400 pounds per linear inch of joint.

Carbon Dioxide Fixation by Microorganisms

Description: Resting cells of eleven microorganisms were exposed to radioactive carbon dioxide for 40 minutes. The radioactive compounds formed during this time were separated and identified by paper chromatography. Resting cells of Lactobacillus casei fixed no carbon dioxide and growing cells fixed carbon dioxide primarily in malic and aspartic acids. All of the radioactive compounds formed could have become radioactive by reversal of known decarboxylation reactions.

Free-Spinning Tunnel Investigation of a 1/20-Scale Model of the McDonnell F2H-3 Airplane

Description: Memorandum presenting an investigation conducted in the 20-foot free-spinning tunnel on a 1/20-scale model of the McDonnell F2H-3 airplane. The effects of control settings and movement on the erect spin and recovery characteristics of the model were determined for the take-off condition and for the condition with full wing-tip fuel tanks installed.

The Linearized Characteristics Method and Its Application to Practical Nonlinear Supersonic Problems

Description: "The methods of characteristics has been linearized by assuming that the flow field can be represented as a basic flow field determined by nonlinearized methods and a linearized superposed flow field that accounts for small changes of boundary conditions. The method has been applied to two-dimensional rotational flow where the basic flow is potential flow and to axially symmetric problems where conical flows have been used as the basic flows. In both cases the method allows the determination of… more

Supplementary Free-Spinning-Tunnel Investigation of a 1/30-Scale Model of the Grumman XF10F-1 Airplane in the Swept-Wing Configuration with Slats Extended

Description: "A supplementary investigation has been conducted in the Langley 20-foot free-spinning tunnel of a 1/30 -scale model of the Grumman XF10F-1 airplane to determine what effect full-span slats would have on the spin-recovery characteristics of the swept-wing version of the XF10F-1 airplane, which had previously been indicated as possessing undesirable spin-recovery characteristics without slats. The effects of extended nose-wheel doors and of fairing the air-duct inlets were also determined" (p. 1… more

Apparatus for obtaining a supersonic flow of very short duration and some drag measurements obtained with its use

Description: From Introduction: "The auxiliary apparatus described in this paper was constructed to meet this need and has been developed to a point where satisfactory measurements of relative drag can be obtained.
