Operating Stresses in Aircraft-Engine Crankshafts and Connecting Rods 1: Slip-Ring and Bush Combinations for Dynamic-Strain Measurements

Description: "Tests were conducted to develop a slip-ring and brush system that will perform satisfactorily in aircraft-engine, dynamic-strain-measuring applications where resistance-wire strain gages are the means of measuring the strain and to correlate the data obtained from tests in order to provide a basis for predicting the performance of similar slip-ring and brush systems operating under conditions similar to those imposed by these tests." 24 combinations of materials were tested dry and 8 were test… more

Correlation of Wind-Tunnel Predictions With Flight Tests of a Twin-Engine Patrol Airplane 2: Lateral- and Directional-Stability and Control Characteristics

Description: "The lateral- and directional-stability and -control characteristics of a twin-engine patrol airplane as predicted from the results of wind-tunnel tests of a powered model and as measured in flight are compared in this report. The predictions from wind-tunnel-test data were in good agreement with the flight-test results. The results show that such predicted flying-qualities characteristics are sufficiently accurate to indicate the unsatisfactory lateral- and directional-stability and -control c… more

The Production of Beryllium by the Metallothermic Reduction of Beryllium Fluoride

Description: Report discussing "the production of beryllium by the metallothermic reduction of its fluoride...Charges of BaF2 and Mg reacted smoothly when heated by induction in graphite crucibles and on continued heating the metal and slag separated fairly well. It was found that an addition of CaCl2 to the top of the charge facilitated the separation a great deal. Very clean, massive metal has been produced by this procedure."

Pyrohydrolysis in the Analysis of Fluorides and Other Halides

Description: Abstract. Fluorides and other halides are hydrolyzed completely by passing a rapid stream of superheated steam over the sample near 1000 degrees C in a specially designed platinum reaction tube. The steam and hydrogen halide are condensed by cooling, and the resulting distillate titrated with standard sodium hydroxide solution. The fluorides and chlorides of the light metals, hitherto thought of as very difficult to hydrolyze, are mixed with U3O8, or other metallic oxides, which reacts with … more

Composition and Thermal Decomposition of Uranyl Peroxide

Description: Technical report on the studies that have been made on the composition and thermal decomposition of uranyl peroxide. The conditions of precipitation and drying have been found to have no appreciable effect on the composition of the compound, but do affect the physical appearance of the precipitate and the rate of thermal decomposition. The UO4 + 2H2O appears to be thermodynamically unstable with respect to UO3 at 25 degrees C and atmospheric pressure, although the rate of conversion is extreme… more
