A Proposed Experimental Test of the Neutrino Theory

Description: The experiment outlined in this proposal has the possibility of giving an answer to the important question, 'Does the neutrino exist'? It is unfortunate that at the present time, there is no convincing experimental that neutrinos exist. Two recent articles review the status of various experiments which could give information about neutrinos. In general, these experiments give results in agreement with the predictions of beta decay theory. But actually, if even the most complete of the 'recoil t… more

Photographic film as a pocket radiation dosimeter

Description: The energy dependence of film blackening is discussed and shown graphically. The exposure range of films is discussed, and blackening is plotted vs exposure for DuPont No. 502, and for the less sensitive DuPont No. 351. A plan is then described for monitoring radiation exposure to workers by requiring the worker to carry an x-ray film of dental packet size in a badge designed for the purpose. (LEW)

The Critical Mass of a Spherical Reactor with Variable Intrinsic Buckling

Description: Abstract: "The critical mass both of an untamped and water-tamped sphere with parabolic radial variation of the intrinsic buckling is calculated by a perturbation method. The result is applied to finding the minimum critical mass of plutonium in water suspension with infinite water temper; the calculations show that the minimum critical mass at constant concentration may be reduced by an amount of the order of 7.6% when the concentration of plutonium is permitted to vary throughout the suspensi… more

Quantitative Study of Variations in Concentration of Glycerol and Aerosol OT on Foaming Volume of Oil at Room Temperature

Description: "The amount of foam that can be formed in the presence of certain pure chemical agents was investigated by a new method. The effect of variations in concentration and proportion of Aerosol OT and glycerol was studied and the effects of various other mixtures have been given for comparison. Both Gulf Agent and Aerosol-OT - glycerol mixtures, when present in comparable amounts, prohibited the formation of the normal volumes of foam to the same extent and in the optimum cases reduced it to only on… more

Effect of Various Compounds in Use With Airplane Engines Upon Foaming of Aircraft Lubricating Oil

Description: Report presenting an investigation of aircraft lubricating oil that is contaminated with various materials used in connection with airplane engines or contained in the fuel. Over 60 of the materials have been tested to determine their influence on the foaming of an aircraft lubricating oil. All but 13 of the compounds were found to have a small or negligible effect, but the other 13 were found to be strong foaming agents.

Flight Measurements of Helicopter Blade Motion With a Comparison Between Theoretical and Experimental Results

Description: Note presenting photographic records of the behavior of a blade in flight as obtained with a conventional single-rotor helicopter. The results of the measurements of flapping motion, in-plane motion, and blade distortions are presented for selected conditions of flight at tip-speed ratios ranging from 0.12 to 0.25. Plots of blade twisting and blade bending in the plane of flapping are presented for a sample case.

Investigation of Effects of Surface Temperature and Single Roughness Elements on Boundary-Layer Transition

Description: Note presenting an investigation of the laminar boundary layer and the position of the transition point on a heated flat plate. The Reynolds number of transition was found to decrease as the temperature of the plate is increased. Results regarding the effect of surface temperature, effect of roughness elements, mean-velocity profile near a heated wall, instability of inflection-point profiles, and laminar separation and transition are provided.

A method for the determination of air infiltration rates in airplane cabins

Description: From Summary: "A method for the experimental determination of the rate of infiltration of air into aircraft cabins during flight has been developed and tested. This method consists of releasing a quantity of gas in the cabin and calculating the infiltration rate from the measured rate of change of the gas concentration. The results of the flight tests indicate that after the infiltration rate is established at one altitude and airspeed, the infiltration rates at other altitudes and airspeeds ca… more

Comparison between predicted and observed performance of gas-turbine stator blade designed for free-vortex flow

Description: Report presenting a comparison between the calculated design performance of a gas-turbine stator blade and its performance in a sector of an annular cascade tunnel. The gas velocities on the blade surface were computed by the stress filament method and compared with experimental values, with which they agreed satisfactorily. Results regarding discharge angle, vane-surface-velocity distribution, tangential- and axial-velocity distribution, and radial-equilibrium consideration are provided.

An analysis of the factors that affect the exhaust process of a four-stroke-cycle reciprocating engine

Description: From Introduction: "An investigation was made to determine the relative significance of the factors that affect the exhaust process; the effects that an exhaust-process change has on cylinder charging were given special attention. Differential equations of this nature have been developed by Kemble (reference 1) but the forms of these equations are such that general conclusions regarding the various factors affecting the exhaust process cannot be determined."
