Nitrogen 12

Description: N{sup 12} is shown to have a half life of 12.5 {+-} 1 milliseconds, and a positron upper limit of 16.6 {+-} 0.2 Mev. It is produced by the reaction C{sup 12}(p,n)N{sup 12}, and has a threshold proton energy of 20.0 Mev. This indicates that N{sup 12} is within about 200 Kev of being unstable against proton emission. The mass of N{sup 12} is 12.0228 {+-} 0.00015, and the beta transition is allowed.

Study by the Prandtl-Glauert method of compressibility effects and critical Mach number for ellipsoids of various aspect ratios and thickness ratios

Description: From Summary: "By the use of a form of the Prandtl-Glauert method that is valid for three-dimensional flow problems, the value of the maximum incremental velocity for compressible flow about thin ellipsoids at zero angle of attack is calculated as a function of the Mach number for various aspect ratios and thickness ratios. The critical Mach numbers (within the accuracy of the Prandtl-Glauert method) of the various ellipsoids are also determined. The results indicate an increase in critical Mac… more

Investigation of Meteorological Conditions Associated with Aircraft Icing in Layer-Type Clouds for 1947-48 Winter

Description: Rotating-cylinder measurements of the icing conditions encountered in flight during the winter of 1947-48 are presented. Liquid water content, drop size, and temperature data are shown to be consistent with previously measured conditions and with proposed maximum icing conditions in supercooled layer-type clouds. Cumulative frequency graphs of meteorological parameters indicate the frequency with which various icing conditions have been encountered in the Great Lakes area and surrounding states. more

Gust-tunnel investigation of a wing model with semichord line swept back 30 degrees

Description: Report presenting tests in the gust tunnel of the 30 degree sweptback wing model to provide information on some of the problems encountered in the prediction of gust loads for airplanes incorporating swept wings. The results indicate that within the scope of the data and the values of gradient distance investigated, the maximum acceleration increment depends on the slope of the lift curve of an equivalent straight wing multiplied by the cosine of the angle of sweep and on the effect of gradual … more

Application of Radial-Equilibrium Condition to Axial-Flow Compressor and Turbine Design

Description: Note presenting some of the basic general equations governing the three-dimensional compressible flow of gas through a compressor or a turbine in terms of velocity components, total enthalpy, and entropy. The equations are applied to investigate the maximum compatible number of the radial variations of the gas properties between successive blade rows that a designer is free to specify.

Effect of hull length-beam ratio on the hydrodynamic characteristics of flying boats in waves

Description: Report presenting an investigation of the take-off and landing behavior in waves of models of a hypothetical flying boat with hull length-beam ratios of 6 and 15. The flying boat had a design gross weight of 75,000 pounds, a wing loading of 41.1 pounds per square foot, and a power loading of 11.5 pounds per brake horsepower for take-off. Results regarding the landing behavior, spray characteristics, and taxiing and take-off behavior are provided.

Comparison of the structural efficiency of panels having straight-web and curved-web Y-section stiffeners

Description: Report presenting comparisons of the structural efficiency of panels with straight-web and curved-web Y-section stiffeners. In the high-stress region in which failure is at least in part associated with local buckling, panels with curved-web Y-section stiffeners have higher structural efficiencies than panels with straight-web Y-section stiffeners, which is evidenced by higher average stresses at failure, smaller stiffener heights, or wider average spacing of rivet lines.

Supplemental Technical Report on an Improved Process for the Manufacture of High Purity Calcium, Period Covered November 10, 1948 to January 31, 1949

Description: Abstract. Experimental work was carried out to improve material conversion efficiency and to reduce handling costs inherent in the present process for production of high purity calcium. Charges up to 54 pounds were handled successfully in the equipment available. Material losses were reduced and more complete removal of alkali and alkaline earth metals was effected by controlled pressures of inert gas and by melting under positive pressure of Argon.
