Homogeneous Reactor Project Quarterly Progress Report for Period Ending July 31, 1955

Description: 8 5 6 2 0 5 8 5 5 ? 5 : tion of the HRT is summarized. The design of some reactor components is described, including fuel system line coolers, the thermal shield, instrument cubicles, the reactor cell air monitor, and sampling facilities. The important design specifications for the HRT fissionproduct adsorption system are outlined. The effects of fluid circulation on HRT stability, the results of the rupture of the fuel inlet nozzle on the pressure vessel, core tank temperature, and heat genera… more

Steric Effects on the Formation Constant of Metal Chelates of Beta- Diketones

Description: Evidence is presented which indicates that chelating ability may be greatly altered by changing the steric requirements of the ligand. A series of formation constants was measured for three beta-diketones. Thermodynamic values could not be obtained but relative concentration constants were. The constants obtained were correlated with each other and with the basicity of the reagent toward a proton. Each correlation indicated that the formation constants for the copper chelates of diisobutyrylmet… more

Estimated Upper Bounds to the Half-Life of Thermal Decomposition of Ammonia, Hydrogen, Methane, and Propane

Description: An estimate was made of the upper bound for the half-time of dissociation at 100 atm for ammonia, methane, and propane at 2500 deg K and hydrogen at 5000 deg K. In each case a unimolecular reactron in the homogeneous gas phase was chosen as most suitable for this purpose. Slater's theory has been used to estimate the necessary frequency factors. The upper bounds to the half- time for dissociation range from 3 x 10/sup -7/ to 6 x 10/sup -6/ sec. Extrapolation of decomposition rate data obtained … more
