The Mechanism of Desalination by Reverse Osmosis

Description: Report describing the various parameters operative in fabricating desalination membranes for the Reverse Osmosis Process and the mechanism of separation. The bulk of the membrane contains huge quantities of capillary water which permits the movement of water through the body of the membranes at extremely rapid rates, there being essentially no pressure drop in this portion of the membrane.

Report #27: Development of Photomultiplier Tubes

Description: From Development of Improved Electron Optics For the 16 Inch Multiplier Phototube: "In order to derive a more efficient electrostatic optical system to be used in conjunction with a large area, 16 inch diameter multiplier phototube the following analysis has been made. This analysis is based on a similar optical system which is to be used in the design of a 16 inch diameter image convertor. At the end on the minifier, we reached the conclusion that the relaxation method constituted the best app… more

Transistorization of Nuclear Counting Circuits

Description: From Abstract: "The advantage of long operational life, low power drain and miniaturization may be realized in nuclear counting circuits through the use of transistors. The disadvantage of instability, due to the effects of temperature change in the transistor, may be minimized in counting circuit designs. Representative circuits of a binary stage, amplitude discriminator, one shot multivibrator, and ratemeters are included. These were designed using the criteria of an minimum Beta and a maximu… more

The Particulate State of Fission Products Released From Irradiated Uranium When Heated in Air: [Part ]1. Preliminary Results for I131, Te132, and Ru103

Description: From Introduction: "The present study was initiated to provide data regarding the particulate state of fission products released from uranium heated in air. It was expected that the information gained in this work would be valuable in planning experiments in which animals would be exposed to aerosols of mixed fission products and in determining the feasibility of using the effluent from a fuel specimen melt-down or oxidation in such exposures."
