On Certain Finite Difference Schemes for the Equations of Hydrodynammics

Description: "We will consider two finite difference schemes for the solution of the Navier-Stokes equations in one space dimension. The first is a method used by Lax and Wendroff. The second method is based on an approximate solution of the centered, implicit difference equations. Since this approximate solution is obtained by successive substitutions, we will refer to this second method as an iterative method."

Cost Estimation for Nuclear Reprocessing Plants : a Comparison of Methods

Description: A comparison of methods of capital cost estimation used for nuclear fuel reprocessing plants shows that, because of the special nature and complexity of such plants, cost estimation methods for conventional chemical plants involving the use of cost factors are not applicable and will give low estimates. Cost factors which are available from other countries where reprocessing plants are installed should be used with caution since those factors apply only for the particular design philosophy used… more

Automatic Solution of Optimum Design Problems on a Digital Computer

Description: A description is given of a method suitable for the automatic solution of certain optimum design problems on a digital computer for cases where the number of constraints imposed on the design is not greater than the number of design variables. The problem is transformed to one requiring the minimization or maximization of an unconstrained function, for which a gradient method is used.

Separation of Iron by Liquid-Liquid Column Extraction

Description: From abstract: "Iron(III) can be separated from many elements by extraction from 6 to ͟8M hydrochloric acid. The extraction is carried out by passing the aqueous hydrochloric acid solution through a column packed with 2-octanone adsorbed onto a poly-fluorocarbon resin. Fluoride, phosphate, sulfate or citrate cause no interference. Traces if iron(III) can be separated quantitatively from large amounts of copper(II) or zinc(II); traces of titanium(IV) can be separated from large amounts of iron(II… more

The Mass Spectra of Some Volatile Hydrides

Description: From abstract: "The hydrides of group VB an VB elements, except CH4 and NH3, have been prepared and, except for PbH4 and BiH3, their mass spectra studied. Fragmentation patterns and appearance potentials of the positive ions from these hydrides are reported. The ions have been tested for excess kinetic energy and this energy was found to be negligible. The average M-H bond energies and the ΔHf° obtained from appearance potential data agree well with values obtained by other methods. Evidence is… more

Radical and Molecular Reaction Mechanisms for (γ, n) Activated c11 Reactions in Liquid Cyclohexane

Description: From abstract: "A study has been made of the yields of gaseous products labeled with C11 from the C12(γ, n) reaction in liquid cyclohexane. The effects of variations in the radiation dose and in the concentration of dissolved iodine during irradiation on the yields of these products were studied in order to elucidate the reaction mechanisms. A reaction model was developed as a method of assessing the relative importance of radical and molecular processes. The data suggest (1) that the formation… more

αZ Correction to the Bethe-Maximon Pair Production Cross Section

Description: From abstract: "The first order correction in αZ to the Bethe-Maximon pair production cross section is calculated for the case where the incident photon and one of the electrons has an energy much greater than mc2. Comparison of these calculations to the experimental data of Plimpton and Hammer shows an improvement ina greement between theory and experiment of approximately a factor of 1+(αZ4π/15) for low positron kinetic energies. However, for positron kinetic energies of the order of 1 Mev no… more

Electrical Properties of the Tungsten Bronzes

Description: From abstract: "The electrical resistivity of NaxWO3, LixWO3, and KxWO3 has been measured at 300°K. The range of x-values was 0.25 < x < 0.9. All resistivities were characteristic of a metal and lie on a single curve. An extrapolation of the conductivity curve to zero conductivity indicated that the tungsten bronzes should be semiconductors for x < 0.25. The resistivities that have been measured for tungsten bronzes with x < 0.25 showed semiconducting behavior. The resistivity of LixWO3 exhibit… more

Thorium-Molybdenum Phase Diagram

Description: From abstract: "The phase diagram of the thorium-molybdenum alloy system has been determined to be the eutectic type with a eutectoid reaction associated with the thorium alpha-beta transformation. X-ray, thermal, electrical resistance and metallographic methods have established the eutectic point at 1380 ± 10°C and 7.0 ± 0.5 wt % molybdenum. A eutectoid reaction is proposed at 1358 ± 5°C and less than 0.1 wt % molybdenum. No solubility of thorium in molybdenum was detected at 1325°C."

Some Observations Regarding Rare-Earth Lactates

Description: From abstract: "Lactates of all the rare earths except lanthanum, cerium, and praseodymium were prepared and studied. In the case of lanthanum, cerium, and praseodymium the lactates are apparently so soluble that they cannot be crystallized directly from aqueous solution. Products obtained by addition of anhydrous ethanol to sirupy solutions of the light-rare-earth lactates were not well characterized and were deliquescent. Neodymium lactate trihydrate was prepared only by the addition of alcoh… more
