Equation of State of Classical Systems of Charged Particles

Description: Recent developments in the classical theory of fully ionized gases and strong electrolyte solutions are reviewed, and are used to discuss the equation of state at high temperatures and low densities. The pressure is calculated using the ring-integral approximation, and quantitative estimates of higher correction terms are given. The effect of short range repulsive forces is shown by comparing the results with two kinds of potential functions hard spheres of diameter a, and soft'' spheres for wh… more

Particulates Generated During the Air Oxidation of Uranium

Description: The effect of temperature on the nature of oxide formed from uranium oxidizing in air is pronounced, there being an increase in particle size wtth increasing temperatare over the range 400 to 800 deg C. At 1000 deg C and above the oxide formed remains largely intact, giving rise to few-micron size particles during the heating period. In relating these facts to fission product release, it would be anticipated that the effect of air velocity on the release of fission products would be more pronou… more

Tory II-C program: introduction and general description

Description: Declassified 26 Nov 1973.<><DSN>29:026171<ABS>The rotating fluidized bed reactor concept is outlined and its application to rocket propulsion discussed. Experimental results obtained indicate that minimum fluidization correlations commonly in use for 1-g beds can also be applied to multiple-g beds. It was found that for a low thrust system STA90,000N (20,000 lbf)! the fuel particle size and/or particle stress play a limiting role on performance. The superiority of /sup 233/U as a fuel for this … more

Examination of enriched ruptured element from 2955C (RM 452)

Description: A CIIIE (enriched) element, one of two elements which failed April 5, 1962 in tube 2955C, was shipped to the Radiometallurgy Laboratory for detailed examination. The element was 21st from the downsteam end. A more severe rupture which occurred in the 19th piece from the downsteam end was believed to have caused the initial rupture indication. After a hot startup a heat cycle developed in the part of the reactor containing tube 2955 increasing the bulk water temperature about 20 per cent. At abo… more

The Vapor Pressures of VCl2, VCl3, VBr2, and VBr3 by Knudsen Effusion

Description: Technical report. From Abstract : "The vapor pressures of crystalline VCl2, VBr2, VCl3 and VBr3 have been measured by the Knudsen effusion method using pyrex and Vycor effusion cells. ... During the measurements on VCl3 and VBr3 dissociation and disproportionation of the samples occurred simultaneously with the simple vaporization. However, because the product of each of these processes was collected separately during an experiment, the vapor pressure due to sublimation was obtained without dif… more

Transport Reactions of Some Vanadium (III) Halides

Description: Technical report. From Abstract : "The reactions of VCl2. VCl3, and VCl3-VBr3 mixtures with bromine vapor at 350 to 450°C led to vaporization of the halides and deposition of mixed halides of vanadium (III) at lower temperatures."

The Thallium-Indium Phase Diagram as a Function of Composition, Temperature, and Pressure

Description: Technical report. From Abstract : "The thallium-rich region of the thallium-indium phase diagram was determined from atmospheric pressure to 5.5 kbars primary from electrical resistivity data obtained as a function of composition, temperature, and pressure."
