[Typed version: Letter from Carolyn R. Itri to Private Nicholas C. Soviero, July 29, 1944]

Description: Typed version: A love letter from Carolyn R. Itri to her future husband, Nicholas C. Soviero. The letter opens with details of previous correspondence followed by asking for forgiveness on having told his mother he needed money and that she doesn't want him to not have to miss out on small pleasures like seeing a movie. She goes on to say how grateful she is that he is making sacrifices for their futures and tells him about some home items she bought for their future house. The letter closes wi… more

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

On the flow of a compressible fluid by the hodograph method 2: fundamental set of particular flow solutions of the Chaplygin differential equation

Description: From Summary: "The differential equation of Chaplygin's jet problem is utilized to give a systematic development of particular solutions of the hodograph flow equations, which extends the treatment of Chaplygin into the supersonic range and completes the set of particular solutions. The particular solutions serve to place on a reasonable basis the use of velocity correction formulas for the comparison of incompressible and compressible flows. It is shown that the geometric-mean type of velocity… more

Extension of Useful Operating Range of Axial-Flow Compressors by Use of Adjustable Stator Blades

Description: "A theory has been developed for resetting the blade angles of an axial-flow compressor in order to improve the performance at speeds and flows other than the design and thus extend the useful operating range of the compressor. The theory is readily applicable to the resetting of both rotor and stator blades or to the resetting of only the stator blades and is based on adjustment of the blade angles to obtain lift coefficients at which the blades will operate efficiently. Calculations were made… more

Longitudinal characteristics and aileron effectiveness of a midwing airplane from high-speed wind tunnel tests

Description: Report presenting wind-tunnel tests of a 0.175-scale model of a midwing airplane in order to determine the high-speed longitudinal characteristics, to test devices for improving longitudinal control at high Mach numbers, and to determine the aileron effectiveness at high Mach numbers. Force and moment coefficients are computed from test data. Control forces, elevator angle, and aileron angle for several flight conditions are predicted.
