Continuous Solvent Recovery Process Using Pulse Contacting Column

Description: From abstract: "This report presents the progress in the laboratory development of a continuous solvent recovery process for the tributyl phosphate-diluent mixture used in the Purex Process. Investigations were made with 1/2" diameter pulse columns, using a nine foot sodium carbonate contacting column and a four foot water wash column."

Summary of Operating Experience with Decelerating Ion Receivers

Description: From abstract: "The following report presents a summary of operating experience with decelerating receivers for ion beam reception. Sample calculations for design of such a receiver for the isotopes of lithium are presented. Estimates of maximum production and requirements to attain such production are given. The maximum ion beam envisioned is 17 amperes obtained from extrapolation of experimental results."

Homogeneous Reactor Project Quarterly Progress Report: November 15, 1951

Description: From summary: "Construction of the HRE facility was essentially complete on November 15, 1951 except for minor revisions and final testing. A program of engineering and nuclear tests of the system hasbeen drawn up, and the tests will be started early in the next quarter. The only major HRE items for which design is not complete are the samplers for the fuel, [gas], and reflector systems. These will be completed in time to be installed before critical experiments begin; meanwhile, temporary samp… more

Abstract of Paper Presented at the Symposium on Metal ChelateChemistry at Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute on April 26, 1952

Description: The essential structural element which differentiates metal chelate compounds from metal coordination compounds, or metal complexes in general, is the existence of some linkage between two or more of the donor atoms in the first coordination sphere of the metal. It is the purpose of the present discussion to examine the influences that this structural factor may have upon the physical and chemical properties of chelate compounds. Examples of well known, simple coordination compounds involving a… more

Argonne National Laboratory monthly progress report, April 1952

Description: This progress report from the Argonne National Laboratory covers the work in Biological and Medical Research, Radiological Physics, and Health services for the quarterly period ending March 31, 1952. Numerous experiments were conducted in an attempt to answer some of the questions arising from exposure to ionizing radiation, especially X radiation. Some of the research involved the radiosensitivity of cells and some involved animals. The effects of radium in humans was also evaluated. Other stu… more

Wind-tunnel investigation of the aerodynamic characteristics in pitch of wing-fuselage combinations at high subsonic speeds: Aspect-ratio series

Description: Report presenting an investigation in the 7- by 10-foot tunnel to determine the effect of aspect ratio on the aerodynamic characteristics in pitch of wing-fuselage combinations with 45 degrees sweepback at the quarter-chord line and 0.6 taper ratio at high subsonic speeds. Results regarding the lift characteristics, pitching-moment characteristics, drag characteristics, and lift-drag ratios are provided.

Pressure Distributions at Mach Numbers From 0.6 to 1.9 Measured in Free Flight on a Parabolic Body of Revolution With Sharply Convergent Afterbody

Description: Report reporting measurements of pressure distributions obtained in a flight test of a fin-stabilized parabolic body of revolution with a sharply convergent afterbody. Pressures were measured at eight longitudinal stations on the body and over a range of Mach numbers. Results regarding basic data, the effect of sting, the variation of pressure coefficient with Mach number, pressure distributions, velocity distribution and discussion of flow phenomena, and drag are presented.
