Investigation of Blade Failures in a J34, Eleven-Stage Axial-Flow Compressor

Description: Report presenting a vibrational survey conducted during normal operation of a production eleven-stage axial-flow compressor powered as part of a complete turbojet engine. After serious third-stage vibration was detected, an investigation was conducted to study and eliminate the vibration with several component configurations. The vibrational source was determined to be an aerodynamic phenomenon related to a stall, but a new inlet-guide-vane assembly with a 4-percent increase in inlet area elimi… more

Criticality Survey of Hydroxides as Coolant Moderators for Aircraft Nuclear Reactors

Description: Memorandum presenting a screening of various hydroxides for use in nuclear reactors as possible coolant moderators for operation at temperatures of about 1500 degrees Fahrenheit. The hydroxides that appear stable at a pressure of about 1 atmosphere are those of sodium, potassium, rubidium, lithium, barium, and strontium. Results regarding the core uranium investments and reflector savings are provided.

Investigation of distribution of losses in a conservatively designed turbine

Description: "A primary objective of turbine research is to obtain information that will aid in the design of gas turbines for any given application with minimum losses. As part of a program to obtain such information, flow surveys downstream of both the stator and the rotor of an experimental turbine were made in order to obtain detailed information about the flow conditions and the losses within the machine. The single-stage, low-radius-ratio turbine studied is relatively conservative in design, having lo… more

A preliminary report concerning the development of an underground water supply, RDS-14. A review of reference material and previous work including recommendations for this program

Description: The geology of the Hanford-White Bluffs area was studied preliminary to drilling well(s) and developing an underground water supply. A study of the geology of the Hanford-White Bluffs area has shown that it consists of terrace deposits of sand and gravel covering a consolidated sandstone known as the Ringold formation. Beneath the Ringold are successive layers of basalt interbedded with volcanic ash, sand and other materials. In the past the Columbia River has cut channels through the area whic… more

Direct Air Blast Exposure Effects in Animals, Operation Upshot-Knothole, Project 4.2

Description: Project 4.2 was designed to study direct (primary) air blast injury, in animals, from an atomic weapon in the range of 20 to 50 psi under circumstances affording protection against missiles, thermal and ionizing radiation and to estimate the probable direct air blast hazard in man. The pressure levels at which atomic weapons direct air blast injuries occur will determine, to a large extent, the number of blast casualties likely to be encountered. It is probable that fatal overpressures are not … more
