Approximations for the thermodynamic and transport properties of high-temperature air

Description: Report presenting the thermodynamic and transport properties of high-temperature air in closed form starting from approximate partition functions for the major components in air and neglecting all minor components. The compressibility, energy, entropy, specific heats, speed of sound, coefficients of viscosity and thermal conductivity, and Prandtl numbers for air are provided for a range of temperatures and pressures.

On Possible Similarity Solutions for Three-Dimensional Incompressible Laminar Boundary-Layer Flows Over Developable Surfaces and with Proportional Mainstream Velocity Components

Description: Analysis is presented on the possible similarity solutions of the three-dimensional, laminar, incompressible, boundary-layer equations referred to orthogonal, curvilinear coordinate systems. Requirements of the existence of similarity solutions are obtained for the following: flow over developable surface and flow over non-developable surfaces with proportional mainstream velocity components.

A review of the thermodynamic, transport, and chemical reaction rate properties of high-temperature air

Description: Thermodynamic and transport properties of high temperature air, and the reaction rates for the important chemical processes which occur in air, are reviewed. Semiempirical, analytic expressions are presented for thermodynamic and transport properties of air. Examples are given illustrating the use of these properties to evaluate (1) equilibrium conditions following shock waves, (2) stagnation region heat flux to a blunt high-speed body, and (3) some chemical relaxation lengths in stagnation reg… more

Some numerical solutions of similarity equations for three-dimensional laminar incompressible boundary-layer flows

Description: From Summary: "Numerical solutions are presented for two classes of similarity equations corresponding to a range of three-dimensional boundary-layer flows. Equations for limiting-flow deflection and equations for the calculation of boundary-layer streamlines are also presented."

Approximate solutions of a class of similarity equations for three-dimensional, laminar, incompressible boundary-layer flows

Description: Report presenting an analysis for obtaining approximate solutions of the similarity equations for three-dimensional laminar-boundary-layer flows over a flat surface under main-flow streamlines that are translates and representable as infinite series expansions.

Stagnation-point heat transfer to blunt shapes in hypersonic flight, including effects of yaw

Description: An approximate theory is developed for predicting the rate of heat transfer to the stagnation region of blunt bodies in hypersonic flight. Attention is focused on the case where wall temperature is small compared to stagnation temperature. The theoretical heat-transfer rate at the stagnation point of a hemispherical body is found to agree with available experimental data. The effect of yaw on heat transfer to a cylindrical stagnation region is treated at some length, and it is predicted that la… more

CRITICAL ASSEMBLIES OF GRAPHITE AND ENRICHED URANIUM WITH BERYLLIUM REFLECTORS

Description: Data are given on properties of three sets of cylindrical Be reflected, graphite-mcderated critical assemblies. The first set was primarily to establish characteristics as functions of C/Oy atomic ratio of core with nearly constant reflector thickness. Fission distributions were determined. The second set consisted of three assemblies with fixed core to determine the effect of redistributing reflector from the ends to the cylindrical wall. This series was done to provide the Los Alamos Scientif… more

The Nonphotosynthetic Fixation of Carbon Dioxide by ThreeMicro-Organisms

Description: Studies by Lynch and Calvin (1952,1953) have established the nature of the compounds incorporating C{sup 14} nonphotosynthetically from C{sup 14}O{sub 2} in thirteen microorganisms: a yeast, a protozoan, two water moulds, one slime mould, three algae, three bacteria, and the green flagellate Euglena Gracilis. With the exception of H. gracilis, and of Lactobacillus cassi which fixed no detectable amounts of carbon dioxide, all these organisms fixed carbon dioxide into amino and organic acids der… more

Effects of Mineral Salts on Short-Term Incorporation of CarbonDioxide in Chlorella

Description: Although the functions of the essential major elements in plant metabolism have been studied for many years, little work has been done concerning the effect of these elements during short-term incorporation of radioactive carbon dioxide. This may be of some importance as it has been the general custom during photosynthesis studies in this laboratory to suspend algae in various dilute buffer solutions or in distilled water alone assuming that the salt remaining within the cells from the time of … more

The Relationship Between the Metabolic Pools of Photosynthetic and Respiratory Intermediates

Description: Using radioactive carbon dioxide, an attempt has been made to distinguish the various pools of intermediary metabolism which may be physically or chemically separate within the cell. Some correlation between the structural elements of the cells and these pools appears possible.
