Progress letter No. 11 for January 1, 1960 through January 31, 1960

Description: A stainless steel autoclave for superheated water corrosion test was installed and "conditioned". Tests were begun to investigate the feasibility of densifying slip cast stainless steel by means of liquid phase sintering. Attempts to prepare tubular fuel elements by vacuum forming were resumed. Although thick-walled vacuum formed casting have been sintered on the aluminum mandrels without cracking, this has not yet been accomplished with the think sections of interest.

Progress Report for Period Covering December 17, 1969 - January 15, 1960

Description: As reported in the previous Progress Report (December 16, 1959) a stock solution of Th 230 was prepared from pitchblende. Pulse height analysis of this solution indicated the presence of only Th 230 (93%), Th 227 (5%), Th 232 (1%), and Th 228 (1%). This solution was used to make up synthetic thorium solution of various concentration. These synthetic solutions were analyzed to establish a chemical yield for the procedure. Neither the precision nor the chemical yield of the procedure were conside… more

A Preliminary Study of the Potential to Kinetic Energy Conversion Process in the Stratosphere

Description: The potential to kinetic energy conversion process in the lower stratosphere is evaluated using adiabatically derived vertical velocities for the North American region for a five-day period. Preliminary results suggest the possibility that on the average the kinetic energy of stratospheric motions may not result from a conversion of potential energy within the stratosphere. The further implication is that stratospheric motions are mechanically driven by the motions in the adjacent layers of the… more

A Study of the Mechanisms of Heat Treatment of Zirconium-Base Alloys : Status Report, July 1, 1955 - February 29, 1956

Description: The kinetics of transformation of zirconium binary alloys is being pursued. Mechanical property variation as a function of transformation if also being investigated. Zirconium-tin and zirconium-titanium alloys transform very rapidly when quenched from the beta field. These alloys have, generally speaking, been demonstrated to be not amenable to heat treatment in the normal sense of the word. Eutectoid alloys, principally zirconium-molybdenum alloys, have shown a definite response to heat treatm… more

Effects of Ultraviolet Radiation on Chloroplast Reactions and Plant Metabolism

Description: This technical report represents a brief survey of work by this project on the effects of ultraviolet radiation (UV) on certain of the photochemical and metabolic properties of rhubarb chard and sugar beet (Beta vulgaris). These plants were selected for this work because for some years they have been used as sources of chloroplasts for Hill reaction studies in this laboratory. Some of this work has appeared as a brief paper.

Numerical Calculation of Blast Waves in Non-Uniform Atmosphere

Description: The problem of a blast wave propagating through an inhomogeneous atmosphere is set up for computation by the CRC LORA. Previous treatments of this problem have used various simplifying assumptions such as that of purely radial flow. Since, however, pressure gradients in this situation will not in general be in the direction of rays from the blast center, non-radial flow will exist, and there is reason to believe that for large distances this effect will play a prominent role. Therefore, a progr… more

Pressurized Loop membrane Demineralizer Tests : Final Report [for] January-June 1953

Description: A membrane demineralizer has been tested in a pressurized loop. The loop water resistivity was maintained in the 1-2 megohm range by ionized solid transfer in the demineralizer. The size and power requirement of the unit tested per gpm flow through the unit, were 2.3 cu ft and 100 watts. In view of the fact that present designed could reduce the size and required maintenance, further studies may be warranted.

Momentum and Heat Transfer to a Fluid Flowing Turbulently in a Pipe

Description: A mathematical model is presented for the prediction of heat transfer coefficients for fully developed turbulent flow of fluids in circular pipes by analogy to the transfer of momentum. There is also presented an empirical velocity distribution equation derived from existing experimental data for use in the analogy model. Heat transfer coefficients for fluids with Prandtl numbers ranging from 0.01 to 100 and Reynolds numbers ranging from 5x10^3 to 10^7 are presented in tabular and graphical for… more

Determination of Oxygen in Oxide Films by Neutron Activation Analysis

Description: Preliminary experiments have been conducted to evaluate the use of the nuclear reactions Li6 (n,α)H3 and O16(H13,n)F18 to determine the thickness of oxide films on metals. Sheets of thin paper and of aluminum, imbedded in powdered LiF, were irradiated with pile neutrons at a flux of 6 x 10^11 n/cm^2/sec and counted with an end-window proportional counter. A saturation activity of 1.87 hr F18 of 150 dis/min per microgram of oxygen was observed in the paper, but radioactivity due to impurities ma… more

Effects of Heat Treatment on Microstructure and Fabricability of 48 wt % Uranium - 52 wt % Aluminum Alloys

Description: It has been reported in the literature that prolonged soaking of 16 wt & uranium-aluminum alloys at elevated temperatures induces a microstructural changed termed "conglobulation". this process is essentially a spheroidization of the UAl4 eutectic. Conclusions of the tests: (1) Extended soaking of 48 wt $ uranium-aluminum alloy billets at 600 C does not improve their hot-rolling characteristics. (2) Soaking periods of 50 hours and greater reduce the tensile and yield strengths of these alloys.… more
