Hydrides and Metal-Hydrogen Systems. Final Report

Description: The work reported deals with the preparation and physical properties, especially thermal dissociation pressures, and densities of hydrides, hydrogen- metal systems, and mixtures of hydrides with other substances. Possible applicatlons as moderators, high-temperature neutron shields, and low-temperature shields are cited and design problems discussed. Most of the data on dissociation pressures cover ranges and compounds not hltherto explored because of experimental difficulties and the basic kno… more

Progress Report on Refining of MgX and Other Uranium-Bearing Materials

Description: From abstract: "Results are presented which suggest the possibility of satisfactorily extracting uranium from pitchblende feeds with neutral ether, without the necessity of removing sulfate, by the addition of a sufficient quantity of iron to the feed." Other factors' effects on extraction were tested and arsenic was traced throughout extraction.

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

The Path of Carbon in Photosynthesis. XIV.

Description: It seems hardly necessary to repeat to an audience of this kind the importance of the process known as photosynthesis in the interaction and the interdependence of organisms and in the very existence of life as we know it. This process by which green plants are able to capture electromagnetic energy in the form of sunlight and transform it into stored chemical energy in the form of a wide variety of reduced (relative to carbon dioxide) carbon compounds provides the only major source of energy f… more

Preliminary investigation of the pressure fluctuations in the wakes of two-dimensional wings at low angles of attack

Description: Report presenting a measurement of the magnitudes of pressure fluctuations in the turbulent wakes of restrained two-dimensional airfoils at transonic speeds. Measurements indicated that the total-pressure fluctuations occurred only within the wake. Results regarding the magnitude of pressure oscillation in the wake, effect stream-angle fluctuations in the wake, and frequencies of pressure oscillation on the wing and in the wake are provided.

Preliminary evaluation of the air and fuel specific-impulse characteristics of several potential ram-jet fuels 1: octene-1, aluminum, and aluminum - octene-1 slurries

Description: Report presenting a preliminary analytical evaluation of the air and fuel specific-impulse characteristics of octene-1, aluminum, and aluminum-octene-1 slurries. The adiabatic combustion flame temperature, combustion equilibrium-gas composition, air specific impulse, and fuel-weight specific impulse are presented for each fuel. Aluminum-octene-1 slurries were found to offer a means of increasing the limited air specific impulse values available with octene-1 or hydrocarbon-type fuels.

Effect of Fuel Volatility on Performance of Tail-Pipe Burner

Description: Fuels having Reid vapor pressures of 6.3 and 1.0 pounds per square inch were investigated in a tail-pipe burner on an axial-flow-type turbojet engine at a simulated flight Mach number of 0.6 and altitudes from 20,000 to 45,000 feet. With the burner configuration used in this investigation, having a mixing length of only 8 inches between the fuel manifold and the flame holder, the low-vapor-pressure fuel gave lower combustion efficiency at a given tail-pipe fuel-air ratio. Because the exhaust-no… more

The Use of Suction to Prevent Shock-Induced Separation in a Nozzle

Description: "An investigation was made of the use of suction to prevent shock-induced flow separation in a nozzle formed by a 7.5-percent-thick bump on a wall of a channel. Various transverse and longitudinal suction-slot arrangements and suction through porous surfaces were tested. All these devices were effective in preventing separation, and certain suction-slot arrangements reduced the total power loss, including the power lost in the suction process" (p. 1).
