A SIMULATION STUDY OF A REFLECTOR CONTROL SYSTEM FOR A HETEROGENEOUS BOILING REACTOR

Description: The feasibility of using a reflector control system for a heterogeneous boiling reactor through use of analog simulatlon tecbeiques was examined. The reactor kinetics, reactivity, and steam generation were simulated electronically while the hydraulic portion of the reflector system was represented by a full- scale physical mock-up. The two portions of the system were coupled together, and an attempt was made to achieve a stable, nonoscillating system. Various configurations of hydraulic couplin… more

Investigation of the Low-Speed Flight Characteristics of a 1/15-Scale Model of the Convair XB-58 Airplane: Coord. No. AF-AM-15

Description: Memorandum presenting an investigation of the low-speed stability and control characteristics of a scale free-flying model of the Convair XB-58 airplane. The model was flown over an angle-of-attack range from 9 to 30 degrees and only relatively low-altitude conditions were simulated. The stability and control characteristics were found to be satisfactory over the range investigated with the center of gravity at the 0.25 mean aerodynamic chord.
