Wind dilution required to reduce to tolerance levels the activity due to xenon and iodine in HEW dissolver off-gases

Description: The radio-active xenon and iodine evolved during the dissolution of the uranium may present a health hazard within certain areas around the base of the stack through which the dissolver off-gases are discharged. Since the concentration of these elements in the uranium metal is directly proportional to the power of the pile* and is related to decay period of the metal in accordance with their half-lifes, the maximum rate of discharge of these elements from the stack at H.E.W. can be estimated fo… more

Tolerance concentration of radioactive gases in air

Description: The effects of ionizing radiation on the lung, specifically the bronchial tubes, were discussed relative to the incidence of lung cancer in radium miners. The energy transferred to the epithelium by inhaled radon was calculated, and the steps in the process leading to the initiation of cancer were described. (ACR)

Health Hazard From a Long-Lived Rare Gas Activity

Description: In considering the health hazard of long-lived rare gas activity as a complication of the stack gas problem, the author evaluates briefly two physical-physiological conditions: first, that the body is subjected to external radiation from an infinite cloud of activity, and, second, that the gaseous activity is respired and its daughter products are deposited in the lungs. It is concluded that no additional hazard is to be expected from the long-lived gaseous activity.

An investigation of aircraft heaters 16: determination of the viscosity of exhaust gases from a gasoline engine

Description: Report presenting an investigation which found that the absolute viscosity of exhaust gases from a gasoline engine was measured at a range of temperatures and compositions. Results regarding preliminary runs, calibration runs at room temperature, check runs at medium temperatures, and exhaust gas measurements are provided.

The Theory of a Free Jet of a Compressible Gas

Description: "In the present report the theory of free turbulence propagation and the boundary layer theory are developed for a plane-parallel free stream of a compressible fluid. In constructing the theory use was made of the turbulence hypothesis by Taylor (transport of vorticity) which gives best agreement with test results for problems involving heat transfer in free jets" (p. 1).
