Recommendations for separations processes program

Description: Many questions have been raised concerning the advisability of continuing the presently scheduled Redox design and construction program in performance to other uranium recovery processes. In order to answer these questions properly, an extensive re-examination of the Redox process objectives and status and a careful study of other possible alternative uranium recovery processes have been carried out by the Hanford Works. This survey has included consideration of both existing process and facili… more

Determining Load Correction and Correcting Frequency Compensated Constant Voltage (FCCV) Sola Transformers

Description: By test duplicating actual operating conditions the average load was found to have a power factor of 95 percent and to be about 75 percent rated load. Since the Sola transformers must be operating into a load having a power factor of 90 percent and about 85 percent rated to attain proper output voltage, power factor corrective networks consisting of inductance and resistance in series were paralleled with the load. When these networks were added, the desired output voltage was attained. Several… more

Range Energy Relation for Protons in Nuclear Emulsions

Description: An experimental range-energy relation in Ilford C-2 emulsion has been obtained for proteins up to 39.5 Mev. In the region from 17 to 33 Mev the relation for dry emulsion is fitted by the empirical equation E{sub (MeV)} = 0.251 R{sub ({mu})} 0.581. Variations in water content due to changes in atmospheric humidity make several percent difference in range. The range in Ilford glass is found to be 18 {+-} 4 percent longer than in dry C-2 emulsion.

An Electric Thrust Meter Suitable for Flight Investigation of Propellers

Description: A lightweight instrument that utilizes resistance-wire electric strain gases to measure propeller-shaft thrust has been developed. A wind-tunnel investigation on a propeller installed, on a single-engine pursuit airplane showed that the instrument gave a reliable indication of propeller-shaft thrust to an accuracy of +/-2 percent within its calibrated range. No attempt was made to determine the relation of indicated shaft thrust to net propeller thrust.

Wind-tunnel investigation of transonic aileron flutter

Description: Report presenting a partial-span wing tested to determine the cause of a flutter which had occurred in high-speed flight. Changes were made to the wing stiffness, location of the center of gravity of the wing, and the mass balance of the aileron. Results regarding the effect of wing changes on flutter, effect of aileron changes on flutter, shock-wave study, and static aerodynamic coefficients are provided.

Preliminary Investigation of 3-Inch Slotted Transonic Wind-Tunnel Test Sections

Description: Memorandum describing preliminary investigations of two 3-inch-diameter slotted test sections over a range of pressure ratios from 1.3 to 10.0. The two test sections varied based on the number of slots and amount of open space, but they showed no appreciable difference in performance. Results regarding the slots with no chamber around the test section and with a closed chamber around the test section are provided.

The effects of scale and test technique on the validity of small-scale measurements of the aerodynamic characteristics of a wing with the leading edge swept back 63 degrees

Description: Report presenting the lift and pitching-moment characteristics of two wings of the same plan form measured over a range of Mach and Reynolds numbers using the wing-flow method. One wing had a symmetrical airfoil section and no twist, while the other was cambered and twisted to support a uniform load distribution at a lift coefficient of 0.25 at Mach number 1.5. A comparison with previous testing is also provided.

Aerodynamic Characteristics of an Airfoil-Forebody Swept Flying-Boat Hull With a Wing and Tail Swept Back 51.3 Degrees at the Leading Edge

Description: Report discussing an investigation of the aerodynamic characteristics of an airfoil-forebody swept flying boat hull with a wing and tail swept back 51.3 degrees at the leading edge. The swept hull's minimum drag coefficient was about the same as the parent model or streamline model. Various combinations of flaps were also utilized.

Tests of a model horizontal tail of aspect ratio 4.5 in the Ames 12-foot pressure wind tunnel I : quarter-chord line swept back 35 degrees

Description: Report presenting wind-tunnel tests that have been conducted to evaluate the independent effects of Reynolds and Mach numbers on the aerodynamic characteristics of a horizontal tail of aspect ratio 4.5 with a plain sealed elevator with a tab. Lift, drag, pitching moment, elevator hinge moment, tab hinge moment, streamwise distribution of static pressure at the midsemispan, and pressure difference across the elevator-nose seal were measured.
