Resonance Absorption of Uranium in Mixtures

Description: A good determination of the resonance absorption of uranium when admixed with various substances is necessary so that calculations can be made on the efficiency of homogeneous piles. The original experiments along these lines were undertaken by Creutz, Jupnik, and Snyder (C-116) and consisted of experiments on the resonance capture in pure U, UO2, U3O8, and one experiment on capture in a mixture of U3O8 and graphite. These experiments were done at the cyclotron in Princeton and consisted of det… more

Experiments on the Evaporation of Boron in Vacuo : Progress Report No. 1 on a Phase of Problem No. 132 - ML - 56-3; File Serial 13

Description: It was desired to determine a method of evaporating boron to form a rather pure uniform tenacious coat of specified thickness. These coats are needed as monitoring films for neutron intensities, particularly in steel ionization cylinders. The most satisfactory method of evaporating boron employed a graphite filament. A mixture of amorphous boron and Carbenoid A was painted onto the filament which was then heated by electrical resistance method to 2300 degree C at which temperature the boron eva… more

Radiometric Analysis of Thick Samples

Description: Introduction: Measurements of polonium content in solids are usually performed by dissolving the material and preparing a thin sample which can be measured with one of the available instruments. A measurement of the radiation emerging from the thick sample should be sufficient to evaluate the polonium content. For this reason a calculation has been performed and the results have been compared with those obtained by the thin sample method. Obviously this proposed method using thick samples would… more

An investigation of aircraft heaters 14: an air and heat flow analysis of a ram-operated heater and duct system

Description: Report presenting a method of graphical analysis that allows for the prediction of the thermal and aerodynamic performance of a ram-operated heater and duct system, for cabin heating or wing de-icing, at any altitude and airplane speed. Performance can be predicted from the isothermal total pressure drop across the components of the duct system at several ventilating air rates and the thermal output of the heater at various air and exhaust gas rates.

Wind-Tunnel Investigation of Shielded Horn Balances and Tabs on a 0.7-Scale Model of XF6F Vertical Tail Surface

Description: Results of subject tests indicate the difficulty of obtaining closely balanced rudder surfaces for most tail assemblies with shielded horns and maintaining a near zero rate-of-change of hinge-moment coefficient without an additional balancing device. A comparison is made between shielded and unshielded horn test results. Pressure distribution and tuft tests of flow over different shaped horns showed higher critical speed for medium-taper nosed horn. The trim tab nose shape had little effect on … more

Tests of Hydraulically Expanded Rivets

Description: Report discusses the results of an investigation into the tightness, shear strength, tensile strength, and life under pulsating loads of hollow, hydraulically expanded rivets made of 17S-T aluminum alloy. The countersunk-head rivets with inserts had a much higher maximum load in shear than the modified-roundhead rivets, which did not have inserts.

The Effect of Continuous Knock on the Endurance of an Aircraft Engine Cylinder

Description: Report presenting an investigation to determine any injurious effects of knock on engine parts. Endurance tests were run on a single-cylinder engine to compare the conditions of cylinders operated with and without knock. Results regarding the history of the tests, conditions of pistons and cylinders, absence of surface ignition, and effect of knock on cylinder temperatures are provided.

A summary of the fission product metabolism studies up to March 1944

Description: The metabolic properties of the carrier free long lived fission products in the adult rat have been investigated at different intervals ranging from one to sixty-eight days following administration of the radioactive material. The radio elements studied include the most important long lived fission products, namely, Sr, Y, Zr, Cb, Ra, I, Xe, Cs, Ba, La, Ce, Pr, Np, and the unseparated uranium free fission mixture. The routes of administration included intraperitoneal, intramuscular, oral and in… more

Elastic properties of channels with unflanged lightening holes

Description: Report presenting testing of fifty-eight lightened and five unlightened aluminum-alloy channels as simply supported beams in pure or simple bending produced by loads parallel to the plane of symmetry, and fifty-three lightened and four unlightened aluminum-alloy channels with loads parallel to the back. Four types of testing occurred with various types of support and loading.

Ovalization of Tubes Under Bending and Compression

Description: "An empirical equation has been developed that gives the approximate amount of ovalization for tubes under bending loads. Tests were made on tubes in the d/t range from 6 to 14, the latter d/t ratio being in the normal landing gear range. Within the range of the series of tests conducted, the increase in ovalization due to a compression load in combination with a bending load was very small" (p. 1).
