The Temperature Coefficient of the Diffusion Length for Thermal Neutrons in Water

Description: Abstract. The diffusion length of thermal neutrons in water as a function of the water temperature has been measured. The results are expressed as a linear relation: L = 2.644 + 0.0061T where L is the diffusion length in centimeters and T is the temperature in degrees centigrade.

Aerodynamic Characteristics of Two All-Movable Wings Tested in the Presence of a Fuselage at a Mach Number of 1.9

Description: Report presenting testing of half-span models of two wings of different plan form as both all-movable and fixed surfaces in the presence of a half fuselage. All-movable surfaces are being considered for supersonic aircraft as possible angle-of-attack indicators, control surfaces, and all-movable wings. Results regarding the lift characteristics, center of pressure, and drag of the wings are provided.

The Effect of Boundary-Layer Control by Suction and of Several High-Lift Devices on the Aerodynamic Characteristics in Yaw of a 47.5 Degree Sweptback

Description: An investigation has been made in the Langley full-scale tunnel of a 47.5 degree sweptback wing-fuselage combination equipped for boundary-layer control by suction. The wing aspect ratio was 3.5, the taper ratio was 0.5 and the airfoil sections normal to the quarter-chord line were NACA 61(sub 1)-A112. Tests included the plain wing and the wing with various combinations of extensible leading-edge and split flaps.

Investigation of Low-Speed, Power-Off Stability and Control Characteristics of a Model With a 35 Degree Sweptback Wing in the Langley Free-Flight Tunnel

Description: Report presenting an investigation in the free-flight tunnel to determine the low-speed, power-off dynamic stability and control characteristics of a model with a 35 degree sweptback wing. The investigation consisted of force and flight tests of the model and calculations of the lateral oscillatory stability with wing-tip fuel tanks off and on.

An Investigation of the Aerodynamic Characteristics of an 0.08-Scale Model of the Chance Vought XF7U-1 Airplane in the Langley High-Speed 7-by 10-Foot Tunnel: TED No. DE308, Part 6, Estimated High-Speed Flying Qualities

Description: "An analysis of the estimated high-speed flying qualities of the Chance Vought XF7U-1 airplane in the Mach number range from 0.40 to 0.91 has been made, based on tests of an 0.08-scale model of this airplane in the Langley high-speed 7- by 10-foot wind tunnel. The analysis indicates longitudinal control-position instability at transonic speeds, but the accompanying trim changes are not large. Control-position maneuvering stability, however, is present for all speeds. Longitudinal lateral contro… more

A theoretical analysis of the effect of time lag in an automatic stabilization system on the lateral oscillatory stability of an airplane

Description: "A method is presented for determining the effect of time lag in an automatic stabilization system on the lateral oscillatory stability of an airplane. The method is based on an analytical-graphical procedure. The critical time lag of the airplane-autopilot system is readily determined from the frequency-response analysis. The method is applied to a typical present-day airplane equipped with an automatic pilot sensitive to yawing acceleration and geared to the rudder so that rudder control is a… more

Evaluation of operating characteristics of a supersonic free-jet facility for full-scale ram-jet investigations

Description: From Summary: "A supersonic free-jet facility (Mach number 3) capable of accommodating full-scale ram-jet engines has been constructed and evaluated. A 24-inch circular nozzle produces a jet of sufficiently uniform velocity that a good simulation of the engine internal flow is obtained. An annular diffuser placed around the engine recovers part of the total pressure of the jet flow passing outside the engine so that the pressure ratios which must be imposed across the facility to start and main… more

On Traveling Waves in Beams

Description: "The basic equations of Timoshenko for the motion of vibrating nonuniform beams, which allow for effects of transverse shear deformation and rotary inertia, are presented in several forms, including one in which the equations are written in the directions of the characteristics. The propagation of discontinuities in moment and shear, as governed by these equations, is discussed. Numerical traveling-wave solutions are obtained for some elementary problems of finite uniform beams for which the pr… more

The Structure of Turbulence in Fully Developed Pipe Flow

Description: "Measurements, principally with a hot-wire anemometer, were made in fully developed turbulent flow in a 10-inch pipe at speeds of approximately 10 and 100 feet per second. Emphasis was placed on turbulence and conditions near the wall. The results include relevant mean and statistical quantities, such as Reynolds stresses, triple correlations, turbulent dissipation, and energy spectra" (p. 1).

Recent Results Pertaining to the Application of the "Area Rule"

Description: "This paper is concerned primarily with the application of the "area rule" to the interpretation and improvement of the drag-rise characteristics of wing-body combinations at transonic and moderate supersonic speeds. Consideration of the general physical nature of the flow at transonic speeds, together with comparisons of the flow fields and drag-rise characteristics for wing-body combinations and bodies of revolution has led to the conclusion that near the speed of sound the drag rise for a th… more

Nuclear Safety Specifications for Fuel Element Manufacturing Processes

Description: Nuclear safety specifications for storage, banding, or transfer of enriched uranium slugs depend upon slug arrangement and geometry, the presence of a moderator such as water or wood, and the presence of other fissionable materials and reflectors. Specifications are given for enriched I and E uranium slugs, solid uranium slugs of two types, and aluminum-uranium alloy slugs.
