Preparation of Refractories from Uranium Dioxide for Melting Uranium

Description: Attention is now being drawn to the refractory properties of the pure dioxide of uranium, which make it suitable for special applications, such as the melting of pure uranium. Properties of uranium dioxide are described as they relate to fabrication. Forming of UO{sub 2} refractories by pressing and slip casting is discussed, as well as the firing of urania refractories and the properties of fired ware. Health hazards pertaining to UO{sub 2} are briefly described.

Internal-film-cooling experiments with 2- and 4-inch smooth-surface tubes and gas temperatures to 2000 degrees Fahrenheit

Description: Report presenting an investigation of liquid-film cooling at a variety of air temperatures and Reynolds numbers. Results regarding the effect of coolant flow per circumferential length on liquid-cooled length, correlation of heat transfer from hot gas to liquid film for constant coolant flow per circumferential length, and generalized plot of film-cooling data based on heat-transfer correlation at constant coolant flow per circumferential length are provided.

C-Pile recommended flow -- Pressure characteristic curve and orifice pattern

Description: Final approval of a flow-pressure characteristic curve and orifice pattern for C Pile is desired as soon as possible to allow the completion of orifice assemblies and parallit instrumentation. The presentation of a recommended flow-pressure curve and an orifice pattern has been delayed by a lack of experimental flow data on the C Pile flow system. Discussion with members of the C-431-B working committee and Pile Technology Unit personnel indicated that the use of flows higher than those recomme… more

Low-speed lateral-control characteristics of an unswept wing with hexagonal airfoil sections and aspect ratio 2.5 equipped with spoilers and with sharp- and thickened-trailing-edge flap-type ailerons at a Reynolds number of 7.6 x 10(exp 6)

Description: Report presenting the lateral-control characteristics of two spans of spoiler and flap-type ailerons on an unswept wing with an aspect ratio of 2.5 and hexagonal airfoil sections. Measurements of rolling moments, yawing moments, aileron hinge moments, normal forces, and balance-camber pressures for various configurations of the wing.
