Scale-Up of Alternate HRT Core

Description: "In order to determine the factors involved in the scale-up of cores with concentric inlet and outlet pipes, a 48 inch carbon steel flow model, geometrically similar to a 6 foot diameter core, has been assembled and tested...Visual studies were made of dye and gas behavior in the sphere, and quantitative measurements of point residence times were obtained through the use of conductivity cells actuating a Brush recorder. Static pressure drop across the core was measured."

Propagation of a free flame in a turbulent gas stream

Description: Effective flame speeds of free turbulent flames were measured by photographic, ionization-gap, and photomultiplier-tube methods, and were found to have a statistical distribution attributed to the nature of the turbulent field. The effective turbulent flame speeds for the free flame were less than those previously measured for flames stabilized on nozzle burners, Bunsen burners, and bluff bodies. The statistical spread of the effective turbulent flame speeds was markedly wider in the lean and r… more

Investigation of off-design performance of shock-in-rotor type supersonic blading

Description: An analysis of the off-design performance of shock-in rotor-type supersonic blading is presented. The over-all losses are assumed divided into two groups;normal-shock losses, and external-wave losses. Throughout the range of relative entrance Mach numbers from 1.35 to starting, the largest losses can be attributed to the normal shock. An improvement in performance would be expected with a reduction of the normal-shock losses by the introduction of external compression waves.

The effect of lip shape on a nose-inlet installation at Mach numbers from 0 to 1.5 and a method for optimizing engine-inlet combinations

Description: Report presenting an investigation at subsonic, transonic, and supersonic speeds of the effect of lip shape on drag, pressure recovery, and mass flow of a nose-inlet air-induction system. Four lips of varying degrees of bluntness were tested on a fuselage model at a range of Mach numbers and angles of attack. Results regarding pressure recovery, net drag, and analysis are provided.

Optimum Lifting Bodies at High Supersonic Airspeeds

Description: Memorandum presenting a determination of the shapes of bodies with minimum pressure drag for a given lift at high supersonic speeds and satisfying conditions of given length and width with the aid of Newton's law of resistance. The resulting shapes have flat bottoms which are also rectangular. To determine if the bodies do actually have improved lift-drag ratios at high supersonic speeds, several wedges satisfying numerically different sets of given conditions were tested at Mach number 5.

Analysis of High Purity Water by Spectrochemistry

Description: When water is used as a coolant in any heat-producing process, the purity of the cooling water is of considerable importance, both from the standpoint of build-up of deposited solids inside the cooling tubes, and as an indication of corrosion of the tubes or any other materials with which the water comes in contact. The first problem has long been recognized, and is generally solved by pretreatment of the water. Efficient treatment can reduce the total solids content to less than 0.1 ppm, and t… more

Angular Distribution of Fragments from Neutron-Induced Fission

Description: The angular distribution of fission fragments from the neutron-induced fission of several isotopes has been studied. Distributions were observed for thermal neutrons on U233 and U235, Lady Godiva leakage neutrons on U235 and U238, and 14 Mev neutrons on U233, U235, U238, Th232, and Np237. No anisotropy was observed for thermal neutron fission, whereas for Lady Godiva neutrons and 14 Mev neutrons the probability of fission along the axis of the neutron beam was determined to be higher than for f… more
