Energetic Neutral Injection into Thermonuclear Machines

Description: Abstract: "A scheme is discussed in which D+ ions would be accelerated to about 100 kev in a conventional accelerator, then be sent through a gas target frmo which about half the ions would emerge neutral with very little scattering or energy loss; the neutral beam would then cross into a magnetic field and part of the atoms would be ionized and trapped by colliding with the already trapped ions. The smallest mirror machine with a central field of 30-40 kilogauss, 2;1 mirror ratio and β = 01 to… more

Longitudinal Flight Characteristics of the Bell X-5 Research Airplane at 59 Degree Sweepback With Modified Wing Roots

Description: "In an attempt to improve the longitudinal stability characteristics of the Bell X-5 research airplane at 59 degrees sweepback, the wing-root leading edge was modified by replacing the original 52.5 degrees sweptback leading-edge fillets with rounded leading-edge fillets. The data obtained show that the longitudinal stability characteristics, as well as the buffet and drag characteristics, were unaffected by the modification" (p. 1).

Free-Flight Longitudinal-Stability Investigation Including Some Effects of Wing Elasticity From Mach Numbers of 0.85 to 1.34 of a Tailless Missile Configuration Having a 45 Degree Sweptback Wing of Aspect Ratio 5.5

Description: Report presenting a free-flight longitudinal-stability investigation between Mach numbers of 0.85 and 1.34 to obtain the aerodynamic characteristics of a long-range, jet-propelled, ground-to-ground missile with a wing of aspect ratio 5.5, 45 degrees of sweepback, and taper ratio 0.4 on a body with a vertical tail. Two models with two different wing materials were flown. Results regarding trimmed flight, pitching flight, and aeroelastic calculations are provided.

Boundary-layer formation in the pinch

Description: From abstract: "A study is made of various processes that occur prior to the pinch effect when an electric field is applied to a deuterium gas. The variables of the problem are percentage of ionization, the electron and ion temperatures, the resistivity of the gas, and the current density."

A Study of Efficiencies and Pressure Drop Characteristics of Air-Filtering Media

Description: Removal of particles from air is discussed in terms of three classes of filtering media--air-sampling, respirator, and air-cleaning. Plots of efficiency versus filtering velocity are presented. The pressure drop characteristics of the filters are discussed in terms of initial pressure drops of the clean filters, variations in pressure drop of the individual filters, and comparison of loading rates.

Diffusion of Stack Gases in Very Stable Atmospheres: Case II

Description: In 1949 Barad presented two solutions to the general diffusion equation. Basic in both solutions is the assumption that in very stable atmospheres a point source may be replaced by a vertical area of uniform concentration at a short distance downwind. This vertical area is considered to exist at the distance at which the plume finally "levels-off" and assumes a flat ribbon-like appearance. In addition if the distance over which diffusion takes place is limited to one or two miles and if only… more

Description: "As part of an investigation of the performance and operational characteristics of the axial-flow gas turbine-propeller engine, conducted in the Cleveland altitude wind tunnel, the performance characteristics of the compressor and the turbine were obtained. The data presented were obtained at a compressor-inlet ram-pressure ratio of 1.00 for altitudes from 5000 to 35,000 feet, engine speeds from 8000 to 13,000 rpm, and turbine-inlet temperatures from 1400 to 2100 R. The highest compressor press… more

General equations for the stress analysis of rings

Description: In this report it is shown that the shear, axial force, and moment at one point in a simple ring subjected to any loading condition can be given by three independent equations involving certain integrals that must be evaluated regardless of the method of analysis used. It is also shown how symmetry of the ring alone or of the ring and the loading about 1 or 2 axes makes it possible to simplify the three equations and greatly reduces the number of integrals that must be evaluated.
