Spectrophotometric studies of solutions at elevated temperatures and pressures: status and program for FY1961 and part of FY 1962

Description: A program was initiated on the spectrophotometric study of aqueous solution chemistry. The goal is operation at temperatures up to at least 330 deg C and at pressures up to 200 atm, and to near the critical point if this appears to be feasible. A spectrometer capable of operation under these extreme conditions is being designed. (W.L.H.)

SNAP II POWER CONVERSION SYSTEM TOPICAL REPORT NO. 11, ORBITAL FORCE FIELD BOILING AND CONDENSING EXPERIMENT

Description: The characteristics of Rankine space power plants in the zero gravity aspect of the environment of space were lnvestigated. The expected effects of Rankine space power plants are described. Discussions of experimental techniques for studying these phenomena show that this information can be obtained rapidly and economically. Recommendations for a program to supplement SNAP II and slmllar Ranklne space power development efforts in this vital area are made, and consist of: the development and tes… more

TEST OF GERMAN UNDERGROUND PERSONNEL SHELTERS

Description: The predicted behavior of German underground personnel shelters, equipment, and certain instrumentation was investigated. Data obtained will be used for evaluation and improvement of present design criteria. Nine reinforcedconcrete underground shelters, designed by German engineers, were tested at the 170-, 155-, 110-, 78-, 26-, 11.5-, and 7.2-psi overpressure ranges as determined from average blast-line instrumentation measurements. Reinforcing steel, doors, and ventilation equipment were rece… more

Evaluation of Buried Conduits as Personnel Shelters

Description: Supersedes ITR-1421. Twelve large-diameter buried conduit sections of various shapes were tested in the 60- to l49-psi overpressure region of Burst Priscilla to make an empirical determination of the degree of personnel protection afforded by commercially available steel and concrete conduits at depths of burial of 5, 7.5, and 10 feet below grade. Essentially, it was desired to assure that Repartment of Defense Class I, 100psi and comparable radiations, and Class II, 50-psi and comparable radia… more

Development of Liquid-Phase Sintering Techniques for Molybdenum Alloys. Final Report

Description: An envelope-type microstructure produced by liquidphase sintering techniques was used to develop ductiIe molybdenum-base alloys for sodium-cooled fast reactor application. A total of 105 compositions was examined; 21 showed evidence of room-temperature ductility, and a number of other compositions appeared promising. The prerequisites for obtaining ductile liquid-phase sintered materials were demonstrated. The most ductile alloys produced are based on the Mo--Pd--Cu and Mo --W--Ni--Fe systems. … more
